Service Access Panels with JES Electric Services

The absolute best advise we can give any home or business owner is to have their existing electrical access panels evaluated and tested. With today's growing demands for power consumption through electronic devices and especially in homes greater than 20 years old, what we take for granted each day could be costing us thousands of dollars over time, creating hazards just waiting to happen or even harm us.

We take electricity for granted, everyday, all of us. We find a way to plug things we need in and turn things on and we are happy. Each month we pay our utility bills and life goes on, until tragedy strikes. When it comes to electricity, it always pays to be proactive.

Old FPE Access Panel	New Siemens Access Panel
Siemens Panel and Circuit Breakers	Surge and Energy Saving Protection

The above two homes are located in Spring, Texas with an approximate space of 1700 square feet. The old FPE Access panel is from the neighbor of the New Siemens Access Panel. The homeowner complaint was the utility bill getting higher each year and unsure if it was due to the cost of electricity or an electrical issue in the home. The home had the most common concerns such as overloaded power strips and electrical modifications done by non-professionals, which are concerns, but not the big offender.

The home had an FPE Stab-Lok Access Panel and the neighborhood was built in 1978 with power surges and outages happening frequently. This took its toll on the prone to fail FPE equipment and we were able to show the homeowner the excessive heat energy and power loss occurring in real time right before her eyes. This was especially true for the circuit breaker handling the air conditioning unit and the dryer. Upon learning and witness this, she insisted that the panel and breakers be upgraded, tested and safe for her family without regard for cost. We brought it up anyway, further showing the homeowner thousands of dollars that were lost due to the inefficiency of the access panel with emphasis on the cost of cooling the home and using the dryer. Then we advised her of our competitive cost to upgrade and she took it one step further requesting the addition of a surge protection and energy saving device.

Now her home and family are protected, she has reported a significant drop in both her consumption and power surges and is looking forward to evaluating the other issues in the fall.

A quote from her to John:

I so appreciate your honesty, hard work and help finally resolving my issue. I have seen a dramatic drop in my electricity bill this month which is only two weeks since you were here. In a way, I feel like I am making Reliant pay for the work you did. It feels good and I feel good. - Gloria
