 Fort Worth Electrical Services at Berkeys

We offer a comprehensive list of electrical services for homeowners across Fort Worth, TX. Any service you may need, our electrical contractors can handle. These are a few of our electrical services:

Electrical Panel Services | Breaker Box Services

Your breaker box is an essential part of your home’s electrical system. Also known as your home’s electrical panel, this is where all the electrical energy to your home flows through. That means you should ensure that you have a properly installed breaker box so that you have a safe distribution of electricity throughout your home.

1. If you have an older electrical panel, you should have it replaced as soon as possible. This is necessary because you need a breaker box that can handle your electrical requirements due to the newer technology in your home. Replacing your old breaker boxes will prevent overloaded circuits which are a major safety hazard that could lead to an electrical fire. In fact, if you have a 100-amp panel, you should consider upgrading to a 150 or 200-amp breaker for electrical safety in your home.

Further, if you notice any of the following issues in your home, contact us for a home electrical inspection and an electric panel upgrade/installation:

• Corrosion or rust in the breaker box
• Flickering or intermittently dimming lights
• Frequent tripping of your breakers
• A strong odor emanating from your breaker box

Electrical breaker problems are dangerous. If you have any problems, contact us immediately for our licensed electrical contractors to repair your electrical panel or upgrade to a newer and safer breaker box.

Home Electrical Rewiring Contractors

If you have an older home, then you should consider rewiring. Older homes will not be wired to meet the needs of your current electrical appliances and devices. With the many technological items in our homes today that require electrical power, we need a house that is wired to handle the load.

These are some of the issues you may experience or notice if your home needs rewiring:

• circuit breakers tripping
• aluminum wiring (these are major fire hazards)
• shocks from electrical appliances
• flickering lights when using appliances
• loose electrical outlets
• burning smell coming from the outlet(s)
• an older home, especially more than 40 years old

If your home is too old or it wasn’t wired properly in the first place, then call us. Our experienced electrical contractors will help you quickly rewire your home for safety, more convenience, and make it more comfortable and enjoyable.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlets

If you want to install electrical outlets that can prevent electrical shocks, then ask about GFCI outlets for your home.

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are electrical outlets that are mostly found in areas with moisture. They are therefore ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. A GFCI outlet can sense if electricity is flowing through a wrong route such as through you or someone else in your house, or through water. If any of these problems occur or there is a short-circuiting problem, your GFCI outlet will shut down to prevent injury. This prevents electrical shocks and electrical fires.

If your GFCI outlet shuts down due to a problem it sensed, you can reset it with just a push of a button. Plus, you can test that these outlets are working using the test button. We recommend that you test the GFCI outlets on a monthly basis. If they are not working, you need to replace them immediately. If you want new GFCI outlets installed in your kitchen, laundry room, basement, or bathrooms, or replace non-functioning GFCI outlets, then contact Berkeys today.

Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. Too often we hear the stories of avoidable deaths all because the family did not have a working, or any, CO monitors or smoke detectors installed in their homes.

Don’t become a statistic. Protect your family, those you love, and protect your home. Contact Berkeys to install your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in the appropriate rooms and locations today.

Ceiling Fans Installation and Repairs by your Fort Worth Electrician

Installing a new ceiling fan is more than just aesthetics. Not only should your fan look good, but you need to ensure that it is the right size for the room and that it is installed properly. The size of the rooms determines the size of the blades you should choose. Plus, location for the new fan is important to maximize your cooling efforts as well as for safety precautions.

To ensure that your ceiling fan is installed properly, you should always use a certified electrician. To get a licensed electrician who knows how to handle all the tricky working of a new ceiling fan, then call Berkeys today.

Home Surge Protectors

Your home can be affected by a power surge from a lightning strike, faulty wiring, load shedding, and a host of other electrical problems. The best way to prevent damage to your electrical system from a power surge is to install whole house home surge protectors.

While you can use surge suppressors indoors, especially for your major electrical appliances, a home surge protector does a better job of protecting your appliances. From the point of entry to your home, your surge protector is allowing in only the amount of energy you need to keep your home powered. So, protect your home the best way possible from power surges. Contact Berkeys and let one of our talented electricians in Fort Worth install a home surge protector for you.

LED Lighting Installation for your Fort Worth Home

By now, most of us know the many benefits of installing LED lights in our homes. They are more energy efficient which means they use less power. This is important because lighting is one of the major elements in our utility bills. Upgrading to LED lights can therefore significantly reduce your monthly energy bills. Plus, they just look better and provide a more pleasant lighting experience and atmosphere.

So, update the look and feel of your home. Reduce your energy bills and save money (even on cooling as they do not emit as much heat as other types of bulbs). Let Berkeys help you reap the benefits of LED lights by upgrading your home with LED lights today.

Outdoor and Landscape Lighting Installation

One of the best ways to upgrade the aesthetics and safety of the exterior of your home is to install outdoor lighting or landscape lighting.

A well-lit home is often a high deterrent for criminals and improves your building safety. Properly installed landscape lighting is great for entertaining or just making a relaxing environment for you and your family.

If you want properly designed landscape lighting to improve your curb appeal or improved outdoor lights for your security, then contact Berkeys to schedule a lighting consultation and get an estimate for affordable outdoor lighting services.

Home Electrical Safety Guidelines

These are just some of the basic home electrical safety guidelines you need to follow to protect you, your family, and your house. By following these and other simple rules, you can prevent an electrical house fire or electrocution in your home.

• Do not cover extension cords with your carpet
• Extension cords are not designed for permanent use. Therefore, you should only use extension cords as needed.
