Your home in Highland Village runs on electricity. Every outlet, every light switch, every appliance plugged into the wall. When something’s not working right—breakers tripping, lights flickering, outlets that don’t hold a charge—it’s more than inconvenient. It’s a safety issue.
Modern homes need about 50% more electrical capacity than homes built just 15 years ago. You’re charging phones, running smart thermostats, powering home offices, maybe even charging an electric vehicle. If your electrical panel is over 25 years old, it wasn’t designed for this load.
That’s where home electrical repair and upgrades come in. Not just fixing what’s broken, but making sure your system can handle what you’re asking it to do. Proper home wiring installation means fewer outages, no more resetting breakers in the middle of summer, and knowing your family’s safe. You get a system that works quietly in the background, the way it should.
We’ve been handling residential electrical services in Highland Village and across the Mid-Cities for over 25 years. We’re family-owned, which means when you call, you’re working with electricians who understand the housing stock here—the older homes with aluminum wiring, the newer builds with smart home infrastructure, and everything in between.
We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. Every technician on our team is fully licensed and insured. We’ve served over 100,000 homes, and we’re still here because we do the work right the first time. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no cutting corners to save a few minutes.
Highland Village homeowners have high standards. So do we.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s going on—whether it’s electrical troubleshooting for a specific problem or a bigger project like a panel upgrade or home wiring installation. We ask questions to understand the full picture.
Then we schedule a time that works for you. If it’s an emergency, we offer same-day service. Our electrician shows up on time, walks through the issue with you, and explains what needs to happen. Before any work starts, you get clear pricing. No guessing, no “we’ll see when we get in there” nonsense.
Once you approve, we get to work. We use commercial-grade materials and follow current NEC codes so the job passes inspection the first time. When we’re done, we test everything, clean up, and walk you through what we did. You’re left with an electrical system that works the way it’s supposed to—and documentation for your records if you ever need it.

Residential electrical services in Highland Village cover a wide range of work. Panel upgrades are common here—many homes still have 100-amp panels when they really need 200 amps to handle modern loads. We also handle circuit breaker replacements, especially if you’re seeing rust, corrosion, or frequent trips.
Home wiring installation includes everything from adding new circuits for home offices to installing dedicated lines for EV chargers. Highland Village has seen a big uptick in EV ownership, and charging a vehicle on a standard outlet isn’t practical. A Level 2 charger needs a 240-volt circuit, and we install those to code.
Safety upgrades matter too. GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens, arc-fault breakers that detect dangerous electrical arcs, whole-house surge protection to guard against Texas storms. We also update older aluminum wiring to copper, which is safer and more reliable. If you’re integrating smart home devices—smart thermostats, USB outlets, automated lighting—we make sure the wiring and circuits support it. Highland Village homes average over $493,000 in value. Protecting that investment means keeping the electrical system current, safe, and ready for whatever technology comes next.
If your panel is over 25 years old, you’re probably due. Older panels weren’t built to handle the electrical load modern homes require. Look for signs like breakers that trip frequently, even when you’re not running anything unusual. Lights that dim when the AC kicks on. Outlets that feel warm to the touch or don’t hold a plug securely.
Another red flag is if you see rust, corrosion, or a burning smell near the panel. That’s not something to wait on. Panels with Federal Pacific or Zinsco labels are known to have safety issues and should be replaced. If you’re adding new appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition, your current panel might not have the capacity. Most Highland Village homes built before 2000 have 100-amp or 150-amp panels. Today’s standard is 200 amps.
We can do a full assessment and tell you exactly where you stand. If an upgrade makes sense, we’ll explain why and what it involves. If your panel is fine, we’ll tell you that too.
A repair fixes a specific problem—a faulty outlet, a tripped breaker that won’t reset, a light fixture that stopped working. It’s targeted work that gets one thing back to normal. Full rewiring means replacing most or all of the electrical wiring in your home. That’s a bigger job, and it’s usually necessary in older homes where the wiring has degraded or doesn’t meet current safety codes.
If your home was built before 1970, there’s a good chance it has aluminum wiring or outdated cloth-insulated wiring. Both can be fire hazards. Aluminum wiring expands and contracts with temperature changes, which loosens connections over time. Cloth insulation deteriorates and exposes live wires. Rewiring brings everything up to code with modern copper wiring and proper insulation.
You’ll know you might need rewiring if you’re constantly dealing with electrical issues—multiple outlets not working, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights in different rooms. If you’re doing a major renovation, it’s often the right time to rewire. We’ll inspect your current wiring and give you an honest assessment of what’s needed.
Yes. EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing requests we get in Highland Village. Most EVs come with a Level 1 charger that plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet, but that’s slow—it can take 24 hours to fully charge. A Level 2 charger runs on 240 volts and cuts that time down to 4-8 hours depending on your vehicle.
Installing a Level 2 charger means running a dedicated circuit from your electrical panel to your garage or driveway. We’ll assess your panel’s capacity first. If you’re already close to maxing out your amps, we might recommend a panel upgrade before adding the charger. We also make sure the installation meets local codes and manufacturer specs so your warranty stays intact.
Location matters too. If your charger is going in a garage, the wiring path is usually straightforward. If it’s outside or far from the panel, that affects the scope of work. We’ll walk through your property, explain the options, and give you a clear price before we start. Once it’s installed, you’ll have a reliable charging setup that’s safe and built to last.
Most residential electrical panel upgrades in Highland Village take 6-8 hours. That includes disconnecting the old panel, installing the new one, reconnecting circuits, labeling everything, and testing the system. If your home needs a meter base upgrade or if we’re increasing the service from 100 amps to 200 amps, it might take longer—sometimes a full day.
Your power will be off during the work. We coordinate with Oncor (the utility company serving Highland Village) to disconnect and reconnect service safely. Plan for a day without electricity. That means no HVAC, no refrigerator, no Wi-Fi. If you work from home, you might want to make other arrangements for the day.
We also handle the permit and inspection process. Highland Village requires permits for panel upgrades, and the work has to pass inspection before it’s considered complete. We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector, and make sure everything’s approved. You don’t have to deal with any of that. Once the new panel is in and inspected, you’ll have a system that’s safer, more reliable, and ready to handle your home’s electrical needs for decades.
Turn off the breaker to that area immediately if you can do it safely. Don’t use the outlet or touch anything near the panel. A burning smell means something’s overheating—wires, connections, or components inside the panel. That’s a fire hazard, and it needs attention right away.
Call us for same-day emergency service. We’ll send a licensed residential electrician to your Highland Village home to diagnose the problem. Common causes include loose connections, overloaded circuits, or faulty breakers. Sometimes it’s a bigger issue like damaged wiring inside the walls. We’ll find the source, explain what’s happening, and fix it so it’s safe.
Don’t wait on this. Electrical fires can start fast, and they’re one of the leading causes of house fires in Texas. If you see sparks, hear buzzing, or notice scorch marks near outlets or the panel, that’s an emergency. We’re available when you need us, and we’ll make sure your home is safe before we leave.
Yes. Whole-house surge protection installs directly at your electrical panel and protects every device and appliance in your home from power surges. Texas storms are notorious for causing surges, and even small surges from the grid can damage electronics over time. Highland Village sees its share of severe weather, so surge protection is a smart investment.
A whole-house surge protector works differently than the power strips you plug into outlets. Those only protect what’s plugged into them. A whole-house system stops surges before they enter your home’s wiring. That means your HVAC system, refrigerator, washer, dryer, computers, TVs—everything—is protected.
Installation takes a few hours. We mount the surge protector at your panel and wire it into your system. It’s a one-time installation that protects your home for years. Given that the average Highland Village home is worth nearly half a million dollars and filled with expensive electronics, the cost of surge protection is minimal compared to replacing damaged equipment. We’ll explain how it works, what level of protection you’re getting, and answer any questions you have.
