ILD professionals are now offering onsite home repair service calls to inspect and appraise the condition of home electrical wiring, emergency power generators, lighting control systems, outdoor house lights, and landscape lighting systems.Even if your home was only slightly damaged during hurricane Ike, you have probably realized by now how fragile a house is when pitted against the forces of Nature. Your life’s savings investment can be severely damaged in a matter of just a few short hours. Undertaking home repairs is something every Houston resident will probably have to do to some degree or the other. Getting an appraisal on any possible damage now is a wise decision for Houston citizens to make in their endeavors to expeditiously repair their homes.
In addition to the standard structural, roof, and floor repairs, home electrical wiring and home lighting also require immediate attention and possible servicing. Assessing damage here is paramount for two reasons. Shorted wires and light fixtures can pose an undetected, yet imminent fire hazard if not immediately identified and repaired. Homeowner insurance claims require a detailed itemization of damages, and filing a claim prematurely before itemizing all damages can result in repairs you will later have to undertake out of pocket, after the fact.
The following is a brief summary of services that you can expect when you call ILD today:
Circuit Panel Inspection, Repair, and Upgrade
If water seeps into the circuit panel, it often causes circuits to corrode or short circuit. Since the entire house draws its energy from the circuit panel, it is essential that you have a licensed electrician inspect it and advise you in your options for electrical home repairs you may need to undertake. Now is also a good time to discuss preventative measures can best minimize subsequent damage in the future. Installing a whole house surge suppressor can protect your panel from being blown out by lighting and neighborhood power surges.
Dedicated circuits can connect your home’s most important appliances and systems, minimizing the risk of catastrophic power overload. ILD home repair technicians will explain the advantages of other services we offer such as advanced electrical wiring and permanently installed home electrical generators powered by diesel or natural gas. In the event of another major storm, your home will be as impervious as technology permits within the boundaries of man’s current science, and emergency power will be available.
Home Lighting Inspection, Repair, and Upgrade
Hurricanes and tropical storms damage both outdoor and indoor lights. If the roof leaks during the rain, cheap or retail grade ceiling lights can start to rust, or they can easily short if water collects around their bases. Hurricane force winds will probably have broken many, if not all, outdoor tree lights, and landscape lights, although remarkably tough compared to more delicate, decorative fixtures, nevertheless cannot withstand the sustained pounding and flooding of a Gulf Coast hurricane.
It is therefore our responsibility to educate every Houston home repair client about the advantages of replacing retail grade recessed lighting fixtures with specification grade fixtures. Commercial grade lights typically used on commercial lighting projects are designed to withstand extremes in weather and temperature much more so than retail light fixtures. Specification grade fixtures are also built to last for many years, and almost all are backed up in writing by manufacturer’s warranties.
By combining advanced electrical services with commercial grade fixtures and new home wiring, we will offer you more control over specific elements of your home lighting. We can also introduce you to specialty products designed specifically for decorative indoor and outdoor lighting, and we can introduce new techniques and special effects in fine art and display lighting.
Why not combine two of the most essential components of home repair with equipment and home lighting system control upgrades? Not only will this contribute greatly toward a more speedy recovery from our last hurricane, but it will create a more intuitive, technically sophisticated, and specialized electrical and lighting control system never before seen in your home until now.
