Signs You Need to Schedule an Appointment with a Galena Park, TX Residential Electrician

From lighting your way when the sun goes down to powering your appliances, and from keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter, you depend on the electrical system that powers your Harris County home on a constant basis. Most of the time, your electricity is reliable and functions without any issue; however, just like anything else, your electrical system can experience problems.

Alphabet City, NY

Electrical issues can leave you in the dark, can cause short circuits, and in the worst-case scenario, can even lead to injuries and house fires. To avoid inconveniences, major headaches, and most important, potentially serious dangers, being on the lookout for signs that your electrical system is malfunctioning is important so that you can contact a residential electrician as soon as possible. The following are telltale signs that you need to schedule an appointment with a Galena Park, TX electrician contractor.

Your Circuits Keep Tripping

It isn’t unusual for a circuit breaker to trip every once in a while – when you’re running to many appliances at one time, for example – a circuit breaker that’s constantly tripping, however, is not normal.

Breakers are designed to trip when circuits are overloaded, which prevents wires from overheating and reduces the risk of a fire. If the breaker in your Harris County home is tripping frequently, that could be a sign that your circuits are overloaded; a problem that needs to be addressed by a residential electrician. A reputable Galena Park, TX electrician contractor will perform a thorough assessment of your breaker, all of the circuits, and the rest of your electrical system and will properly diagnose and correct the problem.

Flickering Lights

If any lights in your Harris County home are flickering, try changing the light bulb. If that doesn’t resolve the problem, then the flickering could be the result of a problem with the wiring; for instance, a wire could be frayed or there may be an issue with the connection.

Flickering lights are more than just annoying; more importantly, they can be potentially dangerous. If any of your lights repeatedly brighten and dim, turn off the light in question and call a residential electrician. A licensed and experienced Galena Park, TX electrician contractor will be able to accurately detect and correct the problem.

Odd Noises

Are you hearing strange noises coming out of any of the outlets in your Harris County house? Crackling, sizzling, buzzing, or anything else that seems unusual? If so, that’s a definite cause for concern. Electrical outlets should never emit any noise. If you hear something coming from an outlet, the wiring may be loose or faulty, or there may be issues with the amount of amps the breaker connected to the outlet in question is putting out.

If you notice weird noises coming from an outlet, shut off the power to the outlet immediately, and put a call into a Galena Park, TX electrician contractor right away.

Some information about Galena Park, TX

Galena Park is a city in Harris County, Texas, United States, within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. The population was 10,887 at the 2010 census.

Issac Batterson and his family settled in the area in 1833; it was a part of the Ezekiel Thomas Survey. The area of Galena Park began as the settlement of Clinton in 1835. The center of what would become Galena Park was a 1,000-acre (400 ha) tract that Batterson purchased from the estate of Ezekiel Thomas. The settlement originally served as a farming and ranching community, but in the 1880s transformed into a railroad center along the new Port of Houston. With the coming of the petrochemical industry in the early 1900s, Clinton transformed into a refinery center.

Clinton attempted to establish a post office in 1935, but the request was denied as another Clinton, Texas, had established the name. The settlement’s name was changed to Galena Park after the Galena Signal Oil Company of Texas, which built the first refinery there (while controlling interest was held by John D. Rockefeller’s Standard OIl, the Galena Signal OIl Company was eventually acquired by Texaco Oil); Kinder Morgan Inc operates the one single mini-splitter/ refinery left in Galena Park today providing clean oil in a venture with BP (British Petroleum). Galena Park’s original name survives today as the name of a major street in the city, Clinton Drive. Because of the 1935 incorporation, Houston did not incorporate Galena Park’s territory into its city limits, while Houston annexed surrounding areas that were unincorporated. By the late 1930s Houston was growing as a port, so Galena Park expanded. Since the 1940s area residents considered the city to be a part of Greater Houston.

The economy of Galena Park began to suffer in the early 1980s, when cranes used to haul ship cargo were introduced; prior to the early 1980s a team of workers, known on the docks as longshoremen, took up to one week to unload cargo off of a ship. Many lived in the Galena Park area and contributed to its local economy. The use of cranes, however, led to ships unloading all cargo in less than one day. The 1980s also hit Galena Park’s economy with layoffs from the steel mills as the U.S. steel contracted due to overseas competition. The economy further decreased after the September 11, 2001 attacks, when seaport administrators tightened security rules that governed whether sailors could leave ships docked at port.
