Home Safety Checks:
Upon completion of each job, our electrician will perform
a FREE Home Safety Check to ensure your home is free of
hazards and up to code.
Inspection Includes:
• Your electrician will inspect your breaker box and
tighten connections
• We check your meter base and ensure proper
grounding
• We ensure proper G.F.C.I protection in required areas
• Your Electrician will visually inspect wiring in your
attic
• Smoke alarms and CO detectors will be tested and
batteries replaced if needed at No Charge (ceilings under
12ft)
• Wiring hazards, hanging fixtures, or anything else
your electrician finds that might be harmful to you or your
family will be brought to your attention.

2. Need a Second Opinion?
At Caddell Electric, we understand that spending
thousands of dollars can be unexpected. We recommend
getting a second opinion for any large job. Even a third
opinion is a good idea. Upgrading or adding to your
existing electrical system is a major decision. Here are
some things to look for when comparing estimates.
• Are all companies reputable and members of the
Better Business Bureau?
• Have you compared the B.B.B reports and checked
for complaints?
• Are all estimates for the exact same work. Make sure
you are comparing apples to apples.
• Check warranty information. How long a company
stands behind their work is often a good criteria for
decision making.
• Are all estimates relatively close in price? There is an
industry average for electrical work. Bids that appear to
be too high should really be examined closely.
Caddell Electric is a proud member of the Better Business
Bureau. We invite you to check us out at www.bbb.com.
There are many companies working illegally without
insurance, licenses, or a Master Electrician who charge
extremely cheap prices. There are also companies who
charge 3x the average cost of work and hope you pay
because you don’t know any better. If you have a
question or just want to know if your estimate is in the
right price range, give us a call and we will be glad to
help you.

3. Electrical System:
This is the heart of your electrical system and should be
inspected yearly.
We specialize in electrical panels, meter bases, and code
compliance issues. If you feel that your electrical system
needs to be inspected by one of our licensed electricians,
please contact us today by calling 214-329-4567 or
submit an online request form.
NOTE:
• Have you heard of a Federal Pacific or Zinsco
electrical panel?
• Has someone told you “Your breaker box is
dangerous”?
• Did you know that these “Stab-Lock” breakers can
fail to “trip”?
• Federal Pacific and Zinsco breaker boxes are no
longer UL listed and should be replaced
*Caddell Electric is not implying that if you own “Stab Lock”
designed breakers your home will burn. It is however, safe
to say that if you do in fact own this type of breaker, have a
short circuit, and it fails to “trip”, the potential for a fire is
great.
Here are a few facts from the U.S. Fire Administration
regarding house fires.
The Facts:

4. December is the most dangerous month for electrical fires.
Fire deaths are highest in winter months which call for more
indoor activities and increase in lighting, heating, and
appliance use. Most electrical wiring fires start in the
bedroom.
The Cause Electrical Wiring:
Most electrical fires result from problems with “fixed wiring”
such as faulty electrical outlets and old wiring. Problems
with cords and plugs, such as extension and appliance
cords, also cause many home electrical fires.
In urban areas, faulty wiring accounts for 33% of residential
electrical fires.
Many avoidable electrical fires can be traced to misuse of
electric cords, such as overloading circuits, poor
maintenance and running the cords under rugs or in high
traffic areas.
Home Appliances:
• The home appliances most often involved in
electrical fires are electric stoves and ovens, dryers,
central heating units, televisions, radios and record
players.
Safety Precautions:
• Routinely check your electrical appliances and wiring.
• Frayed wires can cause fires. Replace all worn, old or
damaged appliance cords immediately.
• Use electrical extension cords wisely and don’t
overload them.
• Keep electrical appliances away from wet floors and
counters; pay special care to electrical appliances in the
bathroom and kitchen.
• When buying electrical appliances, look for products
evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as
• Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

5. • Don’t allow children to play with or around electrical
appliances like space heaters, irons and hair dryers.
• Keep clothes, curtains and other potentially
combustible items at least three feet from all heaters.
• If an appliance has a three-prong plug, use it only in
a three-slot outlet. Never force it to fit into a two-slot
outlet or extension cord.
• Never overload extension cords or wall sockets.
Immediately shut off, then professionally replace light
switches, that are hot to the touch, and lights that flicker.
Use safety closures to “child-proof” electrical outlets.
• Check your electrical tools regularly for signs of wear.
If the cords are frayed or cracked, replace them. Replace
any tool if it causes even small electrical shocks,
overheats, shorts out or gives off smoke or sparks.
