You flip a switch and the lights come on. You plug in your phone and it charges. Your breaker doesn’t trip when you run the AC and the dishwasher at the same time.
That’s what properly functioning electrical work looks like. No flickering lights when the HVAC kicks on. No warm outlets that make you nervous. No breakers that trip every time you use more than two appliances.
Most homes in Southlake were built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Back then, builders installed 100-amp panels that handled the electrical load just fine. Today, with multiple large-screen TVs, home offices, EV chargers, and modern HVAC systems pulling serious power, those same panels are maxed out. You’re not imagining it when your lights dim or your breaker trips—your system is telling you it can’t handle what you’re asking it to do.
Upgrading your electrical panel, installing whole-house surge protection, or rewiring problem circuits means your home can handle modern electrical demands without constant interruptions. You get consistent power delivery, protected electronics, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your electrical system isn’t a safety risk.
We’ve been handling electrical work across the Dallas-Fort Worth area since before Southlake became one of the wealthiest zip codes in Texas. We’re a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth, fully licensed and insured, with a Master Electrician on staff full-time.
We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. Those aren’t participation trophies—they reflect consistent work done right over decades. When you’re in a community where the median home value tops $800,000 and the average household income exceeds $380,000, homeowners expect more than basic competence. They expect electrical work that protects significant investments.
We know Southlake’s building codes, permit requirements, and inspection processes inside and out. We’ve upgraded panels in neighborhoods from Timarron to Carillon, installed generators after major storms knocked out power for days, and handled everything from simple outlet repairs to complete home rewires. The work we do today in your home is the same quality we’d demand in our own.
You call or submit a request online. We schedule a time that works for you—usually within 24 hours for non-emergencies, and within 60-90 minutes for electrical emergencies that can’t wait.
Our electrician shows up on time, listens to what’s happening, and inspects your electrical system to find the actual problem. Not just the symptom you’re seeing, but the underlying issue causing it. A tripping breaker might be a bad breaker, or it might be an overloaded circuit, or it might be a short somewhere in your wiring. We figure out which one it is.
Before we do any work, you get upfront pricing. You know exactly what the job costs before we start. No surprises when we’re done. If you approve the work, we complete it using commercial-grade materials and UL-listed components that last decades longer than standard residential parts.
After we finish, we test everything to make sure it works correctly. You get a warranty covering both parts and labor—two to five years depending on the work. If something goes wrong with what we installed during that warranty period, we come back and fix it at no charge.

We handle electrical repairs when something stops working—outlets that don’t work, lights that won’t turn on, breakers that keep tripping. We also handle electrical upgrades that prevent problems before they start: panel upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service, whole-house surge protection that guards against voltage spikes, and backup generator installations that keep your power on during outages.
Southlake sits in an area where severe weather is common. Hurricane Beryl left over 2 million customers without power in 2024. Winter storms have knocked out electricity for days at a time. If you’ve got a home office, medical equipment, or a refrigerator full of food, losing power for 48 hours isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. A properly installed backup generator switches on automatically within seconds of an outage, keeping your essential systems running.
Texas requires electrical inspections when properties change ownership, and 86% of home inspections find electrical issues. If you’re buying or selling in Southlake, we conduct thorough safety inspections that identify problems before they become deal-breakers. We also install EV charging stations for homeowners with electric vehicles—Southlake has one of the highest concentrations of luxury EV owners in the DFW area, and charging at home is far more convenient than hunting for public charging stations.
We use commercial-grade components because they last longer and perform better under heavy loads. Your electrical system isn’t something you want to replace every few years. Done right with quality materials, it should last decades without major issues.
Panel upgrades in Southlake typically run between $2,500 and $4,500 depending on the complexity of the job. That includes the new panel, all necessary permits, the actual installation work, and the final inspection.
If you’re upgrading from a 100-amp panel to a 200-amp panel—which is what most older Southlake homes need—you’re looking at the higher end of that range. The work involves installing the new panel, upgrading the main service line if needed, relocating circuits, and ensuring everything meets current code requirements. If your meter base also needs upgrading or if we need to trench new lines, that adds to the cost.
The price includes pulling permits through the Town of Southlake and scheduling inspections. Texas law requires permits for panel upgrades, and you want that done correctly. An unpermitted panel upgrade can cause serious problems when you try to sell your home or file an insurance claim after electrical damage.
If you’ve got more than $10,000 worth of electronics and appliances in your home, yes. Most Southlake homes have significantly more than that—multiple large TVs, computers, smart home systems, high-end kitchen appliances, HVAC systems with electronic controls.
A single major surge can destroy all of that simultaneously. Whole-house surge protection installs at your electrical panel and stops surges before they reach your devices. It costs between $400 and $800 installed, which is a fraction of what you’d pay to replace a fried TV, computer, refrigerator, and HVAC control board all at once.
Southlake gets severe thunderstorms regularly. Lightning doesn’t have to strike your house directly to cause a surge—it can hit a transformer down the street and send a spike through the power lines into your home. Power companies switching large loads on and off also create smaller surges that degrade electronics over time. Surge protection handles both the catastrophic hits and the gradual wear that shortens the life of expensive equipment.
Most residential generator installations take two to three days from start to finish. Day one involves site preparation, pouring the concrete pad, and running the gas line. Day two covers the electrical connections, installing the transfer switch, and connecting everything to your panel. Day three handles testing, final adjustments, and the inspection.
The timeline can stretch longer if we’re waiting on permits, if the gas company needs extra time to run a new line, or if we hit complications with your existing electrical setup. Southlake requires permits for generator installations, and inspection scheduling depends on the town’s availability.
You’ll need to decide what you want the generator to power. A whole-house generator that runs everything costs significantly more than a generator that covers essentials like HVAC, refrigerator, lights, and a few outlets. Most Southlake homeowners choose the whole-house option because they want full functionality during outages, not just survival mode. We walk through your electrical panel with you and map out exactly what gets covered based on your priorities and budget.
Stop resetting it and call us. A breaker that trips once might just be a temporary overload. A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something is wrong, and ignoring it can lead to electrical fires.
The most common cause in Southlake homes is an overloaded circuit. Older homes have circuits designed for lower electrical loads than what modern appliances draw. If you’re running a space heater, a hair dryer, and a curling iron all on the same bathroom circuit, you’re probably exceeding what that circuit can handle. The breaker trips to prevent the wiring from overheating.
The second most common cause is a short circuit somewhere in your wiring. This happens when hot and neutral wires touch, creating a sudden surge of current that trips the breaker immediately. Short circuits can occur inside outlets, light fixtures, or anywhere along the wiring run. They’re more serious than simple overloads because they indicate damaged wiring that could start a fire. We trace the circuit, find where the short is happening, and fix it properly—not with a bandaid solution that fails again in six months.
Every five to ten years for routine maintenance, and immediately if you’re buying a home, selling a home, or noticing any electrical problems. Texas requires electrical inspections when property ownership changes, so if you’re in the middle of a real estate transaction, you don’t have a choice—you need one.
An electrical inspection catches problems before they become dangerous or expensive. We check your panel for signs of overheating, corrosion, or outdated components. We test outlets and switches throughout the house. We look for improper wiring, missing ground connections, and code violations that could cause issues down the road.
Southlake homes built before 2000 often have aluminum wiring, Federal Pacific panels, or other components that are now considered safety hazards. An inspection identifies these issues so you can address them on your timeline instead of during an emergency. If you’re selling, an inspection report gives buyers confidence that your electrical system is sound. If you’re buying, it tells you exactly what you’re getting into and gives you negotiating leverage if major problems turn up.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you’ve got sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss, or any situation that poses an immediate safety risk, call us and we’ll get someone to your Southlake home as quickly as possible—usually within 60 to 90 minutes.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled work because we’re pulling an electrician away from other jobs or calling someone in after hours. But some situations can’t wait until tomorrow. A sparking outlet can start a fire. A burning smell from your panel means something is overheating right now. Complete power loss in summer heat or winter cold isn’t just uncomfortable—it can be dangerous for young children, elderly family members, or anyone with medical conditions.
We handle the emergency first—make your home safe, restore power if possible, and prevent immediate danger. Then we explain what happened, what needs to be fixed permanently, and what it’s going to cost. You’re never pressured to do more work than what’s necessary to make your home safe. If a temporary fix gets you through the night and you want to schedule the permanent repair during normal business hours to save money, we’ll tell you that’s an option.
