Professional Electrical Contractors: Leaving Things Better Than We Found Them | Arlington, TX

Professional Electrical Contractors: Leaving Things Better Than We Found Them | Arlington, TX

If you’ve watched home improvement shows or checked out electrician videos on YouTube, you’ve seen the diversity of electrical wiring that licensed electricians find on the job. There are many ways that creative wiring can take place and many oversights that can occur in past electrical work that as electrical contractors we notice as we repair or upgrade your electrical wiring and fixtures. In many cases, we also notice that homes could benefit from upgrading to newer electrical standards such as tamper-proof outlets that protect children. Serving Arlington, TX and the surrounding area, we’re Tioga Plumbing & Electric, your local professional electrician, and we’re here to do a great job for you.

Licensed Electricians Have Deep Theoretical Knowledge and Solid Hands-On Training

It’s the combination of knowledge and experience that makes such a difference when we serve as electrical contractors for our customers in the Arlington, TX area. From the details of wiring outlets and switches to the type of wire and conduit that’s appropriate, we understand what a job well done should look like. We also can anticipate your future electrical needs, making suggestions and performing our work so that there’s room to expand and add new wiring. Upgrading your electrical service and panel is often a great place to start, as we can not only add more capacity for future circuits and remodeling but review your wiring and catch any existing problems while we work. When we’re wiring new circuits to a remodeled room, repurposed home office, or other upgraded space, we can also talk with you about running other wiring such as network, security, or audio-video wiring.

Where We’ve Been, We’ve Left Our Professional Mark

You’ve probably watched home improvement shows or videos online where the electrical contractors start a remodeling job by opening up existing walls and inspecting the current wiring. They might also take a look at the electrical panel and see how years of upgrades and modifications have affected the wiring. In either case, they’ll probably comment and sigh about how good work can go astray over the years. In fact, even brand-new construction done at the speed today’s teams need to work can have a few surprises.

Whether we find aluminum wire that should be replaced, or old Federal Pacific circuit breakers and panels that could be dangerous, or simply loose connections and occasional wiring issues, we’ll make sure that you have the option to do something about them. Perhaps your kitchen and bathrooms don’t yet have GFCIs installed to protect from shock and you didn’t realize they were needed. What about other advanced protection such as arc, lightning, and surge protection? We can help you understand modern safety standards and how you can implement them. When we perform our own work as electrical contractors, we’ll double-check to ensure that we’re done the job to current standards and make sure that it reflects our professional skill and experience.

Helping You Understand Your Options for Your Electrical Project

When you bring us on as your electrical contractors, we’re working to implement your vision and ideas with our own professional skills. Our team takes care of the details, from basic wiring techniques such as which way wire is wrapped around screws when connecting an outlet, to ensuring that the right kind of wire at the right rating is run through your walls, ceilings, and outside. We ensure that junctions and other wiring methods are done carefully and professionally so that they’re safe and reliable. There are reasons for our standards, and that’s an important factor in considering an electrician for your work: to make sure that top-quality work helps avoid problems from unexpected situations in the future.

Handling Unexpected Damage from Water or Wiring Issues

Issues of technique and materials are not the only surprises we find when we’re upgrading and maintaining old wiring and fixtures. Sometimes there are issues from past water damage, wiring problems that have led to overheating, or other hidden harm to your wiring. These kinds of damage can remain hidden and functional for decades, but they will pose a serious risk until they are repaired. They may have actually revealed themselves as occasional dimming of the lights, strange smells, or even blinking lights. As electrical contractors, we have experience and know exactly what needs to be repaired and replaced to make your damaged wiring and fixtures safe, including issues like replacing wire that moisture may have invaded. When we take care of wiring damage from the past, we’ll leave your family safer as well.

We Have Plenty of Satisfied Customers, So We Know What Upgrades You Might Like Too

Another area of experience we’ve gained as electrical contractors is how design meets the needs of our clients. Unless you visit others frequently, you probably have limited ideas about what might be right for your home, whether it’s the number, type, and placement of electrical outlets, specialized lighting and controls, or adding new electrical features. Our team keeps up to date with technology and style, and can help you consider new ideas and solutions, especially if you’re not sure where to start. Our experience is what you need to keep your home safe and in style. From your alternative power sources to your home theater and smart home gear, we’re the team for you to partner with for quality electrical service.
