You get upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises when the bill comes. Just straight answers about what needs fixing and what it costs.
The work comes with a detailed warranty on parts and labor. If something goes wrong, you’re covered.
We’ve been serving Southlake, TX and the Mid-Cities since before smart homes existed. We’re a second-generation electrical contractor, family-owned and based right here in Fort Worth.
Every electrician on our team carries current Texas licensing and comprehensive liability insurance. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List because we show up when promised and do the work right.
Southlake’s neighborhoods like Timarron have aging electrical panels that weren’t built for today’s power demands. We know which systems need upgrading and which just need proper maintenance. We know the local codes, the permit requirements, and exactly what your home needs to stay safe and functional.
You call or contact us online. We schedule a time that works for you, and we actually show up when we say we will.
Our licensed electrician arrives and listens to what’s happening. Breakers tripping? Lights flickering? Outlets not working? We diagnose the real problem, not just the symptom you’re seeing.
Before touching anything, we give you transparent pricing. You know exactly what the electrical repair or upgrade costs. If you approve, we get to work using commercial-grade materials and UL-listed parts that last decades longer than standard residential components.
We test everything when we’re done. Your system works properly, safely, and up to current Texas electrical codes. We clean up completely and walk you through what we did.
If it’s an emergency, we respond same-day. We understand that power outages in Southlake’s summer heat aren’t just inconvenient—they’re dangerous.

Most Southlake homes need one of three things: repairs to fix immediate problems, upgrades to handle modern power demands, or preventive work to avoid future failures.
Electrical repairs cover the urgent stuff. Tripped breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights, or complete power loss. We diagnose what failed and fix it with parts that won’t fail again next month.
Panel upgrades matter more than most homeowners realize. If your home was built before 2000, your panel probably maxes out at 100 or 150 amps. Today’s homes with central AC, smart devices, and modern appliances need 200 amps minimum. Upgrading your panel prevents overloads and protects your home from electrical fires.
Whole-house surge protection saves you thousands. One lightning strike or power surge can destroy your HVAC system, computers, TVs, and smart home equipment. Surge protection costs a fraction of replacing those devices.
Smart home wiring and automation require proper electrical infrastructure. Your wifi-connected thermostat, security cameras, and automated lighting need stable power and correct wiring to function reliably.
Generator installation gives you backup power when the grid fails. Southlake sees its share of storms and outages. A properly installed generator keeps your AC, refrigerator, and essential systems running.
Your panel needs upgrading if you’re constantly resetting tripped breakers, especially during summer when your AC runs hard. That’s your electrical system telling you it can’t handle the load.
Check your main breaker. If it says 100 or 150 amps and your home was built before 2000, you’re probably undersized for modern life. Today’s homes with central air, smart devices, and standard appliances need at least 200 amps.
Other warning signs include flickering lights when major appliances kick on, a warm or hot panel box, visible rust or corrosion on the panel, or if you’re planning to add an EV charger or backup generator. Those additions require serious power that older panels can’t provide safely.
Breakers trip for three main reasons: overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults. In Southlake, the most common culprit is overloaded circuits during summer months when AC units are working overtime.
An overloaded circuit happens when you’re pulling more amps than the circuit can handle. If your AC, multiple devices, and appliances share the same circuit, something’s got to give. The breaker trips to prevent the wiring from overheating and starting a fire.
Short circuits occur when hot wires touch neutral wires, creating a surge of current. Ground faults happen when hot wires contact ground wires or metal boxes. Both situations are dangerous and require immediate professional repair. If the same breaker keeps tripping repeatedly, don’t just keep resetting it. That’s a fire hazard. Call us to diagnose and fix the underlying problem.
Simple repairs like replacing an outlet or switch typically run $150-$300. Circuit breaker replacement costs $200-$400 depending on the type and amperage. Rewiring a single room ranges from $1,500-$3,000.
Full panel upgrades from 100 to 200 amps cost between $2,000-$4,000 including permits and inspection. Whole-house surge protection installation runs $400-$800. Generator hookups vary widely based on size and fuel type, ranging from $3,000-$10,000.
Emergency service calls cost more than scheduled appointments, but they’re worth it when you’re without power in July. The real cost isn’t the repair itself—it’s what happens if you ignore the problem. Electrical fires cause over $1 billion in property damage annually. Fixing issues early costs far less than rebuilding after a fire or replacing electronics fried by power surges.
We give you exact pricing before starting any work. No estimates that balloon into surprise bills.
Power strips protect individual devices from small surges. They do nothing against the massive voltage spikes that come from lightning strikes, utility company switching, or major grid fluctuations.
Whole-house surge protection installs at your main panel and stops surges before they enter your home’s wiring. This protects everything connected to your electrical system—your HVAC, water heater, refrigerator, built-in appliances, and smart home devices that aren’t plugged into power strips.
Texas sees plenty of thunderstorms and grid instability. One direct or nearby lightning strike can send 100,000+ volts through your electrical system. That’ll blow right past your power strips and destroy everything in its path. Replacing a fried HVAC system alone costs $5,000-$10,000. Whole-house surge protection costs a fraction of that and protects your entire home 24/7.
Most residential panel upgrades take 6-8 hours of actual work. Your power will be off during the installation, so plan accordingly—especially important in Southlake’s summer heat.
The timeline includes pulling permits, which we handle for you. Southlake requires proper permitting and inspection for panel work. We schedule the inspection after installation to ensure everything meets current electrical codes.
If your service entrance or meter base also needs upgrading, add another day for utility company coordination. Oncor controls the meter and service connection, so we work with them to schedule the disconnect and reconnect.
We typically schedule panel upgrades for cooler months when possible, but we’ll do emergency upgrades any time if your panel is dangerous. A failed or damaged panel can’t wait for perfect weather. We work efficiently to minimize your downtime and get your power restored safely.
Texas law requires anyone performing electrical work to hold a current electrical license issued by the state. Handymen legally cannot do electrical work beyond changing light bulbs and basic fixture replacement.
Licensed electricians complete years of apprenticeship training and pass rigorous exams covering electrical theory, code requirements, and safety practices. We carry liability insurance that protects you if something goes wrong. Unlicensed work isn’t covered by insurance and can void your homeowner’s policy.
More importantly, electrical work done wrong kills people and burns down homes. Improper wiring causes 51,000 fires annually in the US. Licensed contractors know how to size circuits correctly, make proper connections, install correct overcurrent protection, and ensure your system won’t fail dangerously.
If you’re selling your home, unpermitted electrical work will show up during inspection and tank your sale. Buyers walk away or demand expensive corrections. Do it right the first time with us—we pull permits and pass inspections.
