Grounding Electrical Wiring in Houston

Right Touch Always Has Your Safety in Mind

An electrical ground helps prevent electrical shocks and fires by ensuring that all system wires are connected to a ground that reduces voltage down to zero. If an electrical short occurs, proper electrical grounding provides a level of security.

Older buildings, especially those built 40 years ago, are more prone to grounding issues. If you often hear a low buzzing sound of electrical current or feel small shocks when touching metal like your pipes or other appliances, this might indicate that you have grounding problems. Fortunately, you can count on Right Touch Electrical to show up on your property and troubleshoot the issue right away. As a customer-first company, we always have your safety in mind.

Importance of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

We all know that electricity does not go well with water. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, and other areas on your property with a water source, make sure that you have ground fault circuit interrupter or GFCI installed in your outlets. Similar to your circuit breaker, a GFCI outlet stops or trips the flow of power as soon as it senses any abnormality.

Installing GFCI outlets offers many advantages including:

• Protect you from shocks and electrocution
• Prevents electrical fires
• Protects your electrical appliances from surge damage

If your residential or commercial space is not outfitted with ground fault circuit interrupters, get in touch with our Houston electricians right away. We can provide a thorough inspection of your property, so we can pinpoint the different areas that require GFCI for your safety.

Do You Need 220 Wiring?

Commercial systems and large appliances like air conditioners and dryers usually require 220 volts of electricity. As a result, you must get a 220/240 volt circuit installed in your home or office. This may seem like a job to do on your own, but it’s important that there are no loose screws or wires, which can cause the circuit breaker to trip. Our electricians can do the job right to prevent any dangerous electrical issues in the future.
