Electrical Services for Your Home

An outdated electrical panel can be more than just an inconvenience—it can pose a serious safety hazard for your home. Older panels often lack the capacity to handle today’s high-powered appliances and electronics, which can lead to overloaded circuits, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and even the risk of electrical fires. In many Lubbock homes, panels installed decades ago do not include modern safety features like arc-fault or ground-fault protection. Additionally, they may contain worn components that can overheat, cause wiring damage, or fail entirely. Upgrading your electrical panel is essential to ensure your home’s electrical system can meet your current and future power needs while adhering to modern electrical codes. At BZB Electric LLC, our licensed electricians can safely replace your panel and perform new outlet installations, improving your home’s overall electrical performance—keeping your family safe and your power reliable.

Incorporating new appliances such as high-capacity refrigerators, double ovens, washers, dryers, or even space heaters can strain your home’s electrical system, often leading to overloaded circuits. This happens when the demand for electricity surpasses the capacity of outdated electrical panels, resulting in frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, and overheating that can damage wiring or even trigger a fire. Many homes in Lubbock, particularly older ones, have electrical systems that weren't designed to support today’s energy-hungry devices. Without necessary upgrades, every new appliance adds to the burden on your circuits. At BZB Electric LLC, we specialize in new outlet installation to assess your electrical load, add new circuits, and ensure your wiring and breaker panel are equipped to handle your household’s increasing power demands—keeping your appliances running efficiently and your home safe.

If your home never seems to have enough outlets—or they’re in all the wrong places—you’re not alone. Many Lubbock houses were built before today’s technology-heavy lifestyles, leaving homeowners relying on extension cords and power strips that can be both inconvenient and unsafe. New outlet installation can provide you with safe, dedicated access to power exactly where you need it—whether that’s in the kitchen for small appliances, in the living room for home theater equipment, or in the garage for power tools. At BZB Electric LLC, our licensed electricians can add standard, GFCI, or USB-integrated outlets, ensuring they’re up to code and tailored to your specific needs. We’ll help you eliminate messy cords, reduce the risk of overloaded circuits, and improve your home’s functionality and safety, especially if you’re dealing with outdated electrical panels.

Flickering or dimming lights can often indicate issues that may require new outlet installation. You might also experience frequent circuit breaker trips or notice warm and discolored outlets and switches. Other signs include dead outlets or switches that no longer work, buzzing or humming sounds from outlets or breakers, and power surges that damage electronics. These problems may stem from faulty or outdated wiring and outdated electrical panels. You may find an inconsistent power supply in certain rooms or light switches operating the wrong fixtures. Additionally, if you feel electrical shocks when plugging in devices or detect a burning smell near outlets or the breaker box, it's crucial to address these issues. Be especially vigilant for problems following a recent storm or lightning strike, as they can exacerbate overloaded circuits.
