Some Things to Consider
The guys were super nice, I loved that they did the work immediately. Also after having a discussion with them about the static electricity from a lightenimg strike we had and it fried everything they suggested a surge protector to keep that from happening again. So we did that.
Scheduled an appointment with Mr Electric of Fort Worth and received a call they were able to show up early and had Dylan show up on time stocked with a full truck. He was able to diagnosis the issue quickly and restore my power to a few plugs that were causing the breakers to trip continuously. Dylan was very knowledgable, clearly explained the cause and how he would fix the issue, and addressed all concerns that we had. He was replaced two breakers and installed 2 new outlets along with diagnosing the problem in about an hour. Very quick and so far seems to have resolved our electrical issue. Would definitely recommend Mr Electric of Fort Worth!
Dylan was so nice and always on time. Very qualified and explained everything he needed to do in a way I understood. My older house required an outside panel so I had a lot of work but Dylan and his helper worked together very well and finished on time so I was not out of power more than needed. Everything looked and worked great when done. I don't know how he was able to replace the cracked power pole and wiring on my roof so quickly and beautifully. I am very, very impressed with his skill level and would request him for any future work. The company is very well organized and office contact was a pleasure to work with(which is rare since these positions are usually underpaid)so reward her well, she is the "door" to your organization. She and Dylan sealed my deal!
Cody was professional, knowledgeable, and was able to provide me with a quick diagnosis pertaining to a wiring issue in one of my rooms. He gave me the price for the repair/modification and fixed the issue all in less than an hour. Thanks Cody!
For the most part, your plumbing system, including your shower, does not depend on electricity. However, there are components that might. If you rely on an electrical well pump, for example, it is going to be difficult getting water to your showerhead. The more common issue is with hot water. With a few exceptions, most water heater systems need electrical power to operate. Here are some of the potential scenarios, depending on the type of water heater you have:
In all cases, you can still take a shower. The question is just a matter of how comfortable the shower will be. If you enjoy cold showers, then jump on in. But wait! Consider the following safety precautions.

What if lightning strikes while you are in the shower? Don’t worry. That whole struck by lightning while in a shower is a tall tale. In fact, there is very little to worry about when it comes to safety. The true danger, however, is the lack of light. Use a battery-powered lantern so you can watch your step! Avoid candles or gas lamps as they can fall over and start a fire.
A Great Solution!
