New Orleans Area Electrical Repair
Storm and Hurricane Damage
Storm and hurricanes can cause significant damage to homes. Winds and driving rain can blow shingles off of roofs, and weaken the structural integrity of a home. Making any repairs after a storm or hurricane is a daunting task; and making electric repairs is something that should only be done by a licensed electrician.
Floodwater Damage
Everyone in the New Orleans area understands that flooding is a major risk. However did you know that any electrical component that has been below floodwater needs to be replaced after the water recedes, from outlets to appliances?
The standing floodwater is full of unknown pollutants that will cause damage to the finely tuned parts of these electric appliances, and also breakdown wire insulation on power and lighting circuits – even if they seem unaffected at first. If these components are not replaced, this damage can lead to simple malfunctions or major electric fires.
Working with older homes
Older homes typically have lower service capacity than newer homes. Many older homes may only have a capacity for up to 60 amps – but today’s newer homes may be wired for 200 amps or larger. Between washers and dryers, dishwashers, televisions, stereo systems, the coffeepot, oven, and the many other conveniences of modern life, it is easy to overload an older system and require electric repairs.
