Heating and cooling circuits
Heater not working in Weir? Check the electrical side first
Many heating calls in Weir turn out to be electrical. A heat pump, electric furnace or baseboard heater needs a dedicated circuit, a working breaker and tight connections to run.
A tripped or failing breaker, a burned wire at the disconnect or a bad thermostat wire all stop the heat. An electrician tests the circuit from the panel to the unit and finds which part failed.
If the circuit is sound and the unit still will not run, the problem is inside the equipment. That is a job for a heating and air technician.
Electrical heating problems
- Breaker trips when the heat strips come on
- Outdoor disconnect burned, rusted or loose
- Space heater outlet that runs hot or melts the plug
- Lights dim every time the heat pump starts
- No power at the air handler after a storm
Weir power
4-County Electric Power Association and who to call

- An electrician: one room dead, a breaker that will not reset, a hot outlet or a damaged meter base.

Storm damage
Tornado season and storm repairs in Weir
A tornado struck Weir on April 24, 2010, during a multi-day tornado outbreak. Spring storms with wind, hail and lightning are a regular part of life in Choctaw County.
Wind pulls service drops off houses and bends meter masts. Lightning sends surges into panels, well pumps and heat pump boards.
A portable generator must feed the house through a transfer switch or an approved interlock. A generator plugged into a wall outlet sends power back onto the lines and puts line crews at risk.
After a storm
- Stay away from any line on the ground and call your provider.
- Have a bent mast or torn meter base repaired before power is restored.
- Keep the main breaker off if water reached the panel.
- Ask about whole-house surge protection at the main panel.
Licensing in Mississippi
How to check an electrician in Weir, MS
Mississippi has no statewide journeyman or master electrician license. Individual electrician licenses, where they exist, come from cities and counties.
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) licenses contractors. An electrical contractor needs an MSBOC license for commercial jobs over $50,000 and for residential work above the state's dollar limits.
- 1. Get the business nameAsk for it on the written estimate.
- 2. Search MSBOCUse the contractor search at search.msboc.us, or call the Board at 800-880-6161.
- 3. Ask for insuranceGet a current certificate before work starts.
Permits and new service
Electrical permits for a Weir address
In Mississippi, each town and county decides whether to require electrical permits and inspections. For an address inside town limits, ask the Town of Weir. Outside town limits, ask Choctaw County, whose seat is Ackerman.
Ask the electrician to confirm the rule before a new service, a subpanel or a generator hookup. Your power provider also has steps for a new meter, a service upgrade or a reconnect after storm damage.
Paperwork worth keeping
- The written estimate and final invoice
- Any permit or inspection record
- The provider's work order for a service change
- Model numbers for a generator and transfer switch
Solar and subpanels
Solar wiring and subpanels near Weir
A home solar system ties into your main panel through an inverter and a disconnect. The installer handles the panels, and an electrician handles the tie-in, the breaker space and the shutoff.
Your power provider must approve a system before it runs connected to the grid. Ask 4-County or Entergy for its interconnection rules before you sign a solar contract.
A subpanel is a second breaker panel fed from the main one. It powers a shop, a barn, a pump house or an addition without crowding the main panel.
- Panel roomThe main panel needs space and capacity for solar or a subpanel.
- DisconnectsA visible shutoff lets crews isolate a solar system.
- Provider approvalGet the interconnection rules in writing first.
