Need a Second Opinion?

At Caddell Electric, we understand that spending thousands of dollars can be unexpected. We recommend getting a second opinion for any large job. Even a third opinion is a good idea. Upgrading or adding to your existing electrical system is a major decision. Here are some things to look for when comparing estimates.

Are all companies reputable and members of the Better Business Bureau?

Have you compared the B.B.B reports and checked for complaints?

Are all estimates for the exact same work. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Check warranty information. How long a company stands behind their work is often a good criteria for decision making.

Are all estimates relatively close in price? There is an industry average for electrical work. Bids that appear to be too high should really be examined closely.

Caddell Electric is a proud member of the Better Business Bureau. We invite you to check us out at www.bbb.com.

There are many companies working illegally without insurance, licenses, or a Master Electrician who charge extremely cheap prices. There are also companies who charge 3x the average cost of work and hope you pay because you don’t know any better. If you have a question or just want to know if your estimate is in the right price range, give us a call and we will be glad to help you.

Electrical System: This is the heart of your electrical system and should be inspected yearly.

We specialize in electrical panels, meter bases, and code compliance issues. If you feel that your electrical system needs to be inspected by one of our licensed electricians, please contact us today by calling 214-329-4567 or submit an online request form.

NOTE: • Have you heard of a Federal Pacific or Zinsco electrical panel?

• Has someone told you “Your breaker box is dangerous”?

• Did you know that these “Stab-Lock” breakers can fail to “trip”?

• Federal Pacific and Zinsco breaker boxes are no longer UL listed and should be replaced *Caddell Electric is not implying that if you own “Stab Lock” designed breakers your home will burn. It is however, safe to say that if you do in fact own this type of breaker, have a short circuit, and it fails to “trip”, the potential for a fire is great.

Here are a few facts from the U.S. Fire Administration regarding house fires.

The Facts:

December is the most dangerous month for electrical fires.

Fire deaths are highest in winter months which call for more indoor activities and increase in lighting, heating, and appliance use. Most electrical wiring fires start in the bedroom.

The Cause Electrical Wiring: Most electrical fires result from problems with “fixed wiring” such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems with cords and plugs, such as extension and appliance cords, also cause many home electrical fires.

In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential electrical fires.

Many avoidable electrical fires can be traced to misuse of electric cords, such as overloading circuits, poor maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high traffic areas.

Home Appliances: • The home appliances most often involved in electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers, central heating units, televisions, radios and record players.

Safety Precautions: • Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.

• Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or damaged appliance cords immediately.

• Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t overload them.

• Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and counters; pay special care to electrical appliances in the bathroom and kitchen.

• When buying electrical appliances, look for products evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as • Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.

Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially combustible items at least three feet from all heaters.

If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot outlet or extension cord.

Never overload extension cords or wall sockets.

Immediately shut off, then professionally replace light switches, that are hot to the touch, and lights that flicker.

Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical outlets.

Check your electrical tools regularly for signs of wear.

If the cords are frayed or cracked, replace them. Replace any tool if it causes even small electrical shocks, overheats, shorts out or gives off smoke or sparks.
