Service Upgrades in San Antonio

Having electrical issues throughout your house? There could be several reasons you’re experiencing these issues. Components degrade and wear down, if you live in an older home, it could lack the necessary power to adequately run modern electronics. Homes without sufficient capacity will experience voltage drop-offs, which can permanently damage electrical equipment and appliances. If your home is more than 30 years old, it could be time for a service upgrade.

Panel Change

An electrical panel (also known as a “fuse box” or “breaker”) is a component of an electricity supply system. This component divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.

If your home needs panel changes in San Antonio, contact us today. We can upgrade your home’s electrical capabilities to feature the most advanced and powerful electrical panels available to industry professionals.

Circuit Box

Additionally, we can inspect your residential circuit box in San Antonio for any issues that might hinder electrical efficiency. From damaged circuits to improper installation, we’ll thoroughly examine your home’s circuit box in San Antonio and resolve any problems we find. Contact us today for more information.

Circuit Breakers

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch that is designed to protect an electrical circuit from damages as a result of an overload or a short circuit. We have a wide variety of different circuit breakers that can be used for various voltage classes, current ratings, and breaker types. If you need to replace your old circuit breakers in San Antonio, contact us today.

FPE (Federal Pacific Electric) Electrical Panels

There are approximately 90,000 electrical fires per year in the United States and the majority are from faulty electrical panels. If you have a panel manufactured by FPE, you need to change it immediately. Panels made by FPE in San Antonio and across the United States are dangerous and pose fire risks.

FPE (or Federal Pacific Electric) was one of the most common manufacturers of circuit breaker panels from the 1950s to 1980s. However, throughout the years, FPE panels continually failed and caused numerous house fires.

If you have an FPE panel, contact Mister Sparky® of San Antonio immediately to get it removed and replaced with a safer, modern model.

Zinsco Panels

Another safety hazard to consider: panels made by Zinsco. In San Antonio and in other parts of the country, Zinsco parts are considered obsolete. This is because of a design flaw that causes the circuit breaker’s connection to the bar bus to loosen. This issue causes arcing and overheating problems.

Over time, parts and equipment made by Zinsco can cause the breaker to fuse to the bus bar. This fusing of metal makes it impossible to remove. This also prevents the circuits from tripping, which can pose a major fire hazard. Electrical service upgrades are not optional. If your home is outfitted with old, dangerous electrical equipment, count on us to provide the service that you need to ensure that your home’s electrical system is suitable for current requirements.

I had a really good experience working with Richard Cummings, Jr., an electrician from Mister Sparky. He arrived early, was professional and personable, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He clearly walked me through the pricing, the recommended repairs, and which items were higher priority versus things that could wait, which I appreciated. Richard wasn’t pushy at all, answered my questions patiently, and made me feel comfortable and safe having the work done in my home. He completed the job efficiently, cleaned up afterward, and made sure everything was in good working order before leaving. Overall, the experience felt transparent and respectful, and I appreciated how clearly everything was explained from start to finish.

I can’t complain I lost power to my efficiency apartment on New Year’s Eve at night Mister sparky tech Frank Ramirez came out to look at the problem and of course my electricity was the original from when the home was built 1950. Frank Thoroughly explained the problems I was having. Frank, David and Jason took care of the problem. Keep in mind the reviews helped me to choose a Reliable company. I have no regrets yes a little costly but so worth it! Thank you guys you all did an amazing job and no mess to clean up afterwards. Frank did go above and beyond to make sure everything was done correctly. Photos from old to new and added.

Ant and Mark did an excellent job servicing my home today. They came out to give an estimate on my issue with no power to my water heater. They found that the water heater breaker was tripping and not resetting. I provided the breaker and they replaced that for me but they noticed in the laundry room was missing a bushing and the grounding wasn’t up to par along with a loose box. They did a great job of letting me know the issues and provided options for me. I will be recommending to family and friends the great work they completed for me. I now have hot water ; and now a happy customer!

Thank you Luciano for scheduling my mounting quote appointment promptly and efficiently. Kevin showed up and did an amazing job with the inspection he provided for our new home. Kevin was very knowledgeable and really seemed passionate about his work. I appreciate the great service!

Kevin was an amazing help to us! When I needed quick service Mister Sparky had the earliest availability and I was blown away by their communication and customer service. Kevin was honest, knowledgeable, and extremely patient when explaining what the options were for my home. I didn’t feel like I was being bullied into any purchases and I’m at ease knowing the risks and benefits of each of the options that were available to me. I’m so thankful for the positive experience and would happily recommend him to family and friends. Thank you!!
