Make Sure You Have Enough Power

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!

Determining the Number of Outlets for Your New Home

The first step is to make sure you will have enough electricity to power the maximum number of outlets. If you’re building a new property, then just make sure you’re installing a 200-amp electrical service panel. If you’re living in an older home, then you may need to upgrade from a 100 amp. Consider the number of people in your home and your family’s personal energy usage. Keep in mind that the number of electronics in use may grow in time, and an upgrade will increase the value and attractiveness of your home if you ever choose to sell or rent. 

Take an Inventory of Electronic Appliances and Devices

Next, you’ll need to take an inventory of how many plugs you need now and in the future. You might be surprised by how many electronics you already have in the home. Some people skimp on the number of outlets because they choose to use plug bars. However, this can be dangerous if overloaded, causing unnecessary risks like electrical fires and damaged electronics. Don’t forget to add in future needs. Your toddler may not have many electronics now, but ten years down the road, they’ll have a room full of gadgets. It’s better to have too many plugs than not enough.

Location is Important 

You will also need to think about the location of your plugs. Do you need a higher outlet installed for your vacuum or kitchen appliance? Do you have a particularly wide wall? Then be sure you have an outlet every few feet. Otherwise, the cord to your computer, TV or charger might not reach.
