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.

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.

Recently had major work done, main electrical panel outside and changing/updating bedroom fluorescents to led. Wow a lot but thankfully I had Joseph to help me thru it. He explained the entire situation to me, presented several options to me and answered all my questions. Hope I do not need electrical often but when I do Mr sparky getting my call. Exceptional service and the price was right.

Jose Ruiz was prompt and professional. He installed a ceiling fan for me, and I was very happy with the result. I appreciated his attention to detail and pleasant demeanor. Will be scheduling for fuse-box upgrade with him soon.

Kevin Lafferty arrived on time as scheduled to identify an electrical problem that I was having with one of my indoor light fixtures. He quickly identified the problem and explained what was needed to be done in terms that I could understand and reviewed the repair cost in detail of which I was very pleased. I also want to thank the office and call center representatives Katie and Bryce, very polite and professional. Good service day!

Timothy Fernandez came out to our house to mount a TV above our fireplace. He was outstanding, explained the best solution. There was not an outlet above our fireplace. He wired an outlet and walked us through everything he did. Throughly explained the warranty. We will definitely recommend.

- Gene Kimball

Real good, I was serviced by a Mr. Timothy Fernandez. He was respectful and formal, told me what may have happened, what will happen, and most importantly, what he can do. Also, generally very welcoming and fun to talk to. We could conversate about many things, I got the impression of a good man. If a worker is to represent their company. This company is, effective, friendly and worth the time.
