You stop worrying every time you plug something in. Your breakers stay on when you’re running multiple appliances. The lights don’t dim when the AC kicks on.
If your home was built in the 60s or 70s, there’s a good chance you’re dealing with aluminum wiring, a 100-amp panel that can’t handle modern loads, or Federal Pacific breakers that should’ve been replaced years ago. Most Hurst homes from that era weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands—smart TVs, home offices, EV chargers, multiple devices charging at once.
You’re not imagining it when your system struggles. And you’re definitely not getting talked into a $15,000 rewiring job you don’t need. What you get is an honest assessment, a clear explanation of what’s actually wrong, and electrical troubleshooting for homes that solves the real problem without the upsell.
Your monthly electric bill might even drop once everything’s running efficiently. Whole-house surge protection alone can cut your usage by up to 15%. But more than that, you’ll have a system that works the way it should—and the peace of mind that comes with it.
We’re a family-owned electrical contractor that’s been serving Hurst and the Mid-Cities for over 25 years. We’re fully licensed, insured, and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We’ve also earned multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List, which matters because it means real customers kept recommending us year after year.
We’re not the biggest operation in DFW, and that’s intentional. You’re not getting a different crew every time or a call center when you need help. You’re working with experienced electricians who know Hurst homes—the common issues, the outdated panels, the wiring that needs attention.
We’ve seen what happens when storms roll through and knock out power for days. We know how many homes in this area are still running on electrical systems that weren’t built for 2025. And we know the difference between a repair that’ll last and one that’s just buying time.
First, we show up when we say we will. That’s not a given in this industry, but it should be. You’ll get a licensed electrician who listens to what’s going on, asks the right questions, and actually looks at your system before throwing out a number.
We diagnose the issue—whether it’s a tripped breaker that keeps happening, an outlet that’s running hot, or lights that flicker every time the HVAC cycles. Then we explain what’s wrong in plain terms. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just the truth about what needs fixing and why.
You’ll get upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises when the job’s done. If it’s something we can handle that day, we do it—most of our trucks are stocked for same-day completion. If it’s a bigger project like a panel upgrade or whole-home rewiring, we map out a timeline and stick to it.
Once the work’s finished, we test everything to make sure it’s safe and up to code. Then we walk you through what we did and answer any questions. You’ll also get a warranty that covers parts and labor—2 to 5 years depending on the scope of work.

We handle the full range of home wiring installation, from adding new circuits for a home office to running dedicated lines for EV chargers or backup generators. If your panel’s maxed out or you’re still running a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel from the 70s, we’ll upgrade it to a modern 200-amp system that can actually support your household.
Hurst homeowners are dealing with more power outages than they used to. Between summer storms and grid strain, backup power isn’t a luxury anymore—it’s a necessity. We install whole-home generators that kick on automatically when the power drops, so your fridge stays cold and your AC keeps running even when the neighborhood goes dark.
We also install whole-house surge protection, which is critical in Texas where lightning strikes and voltage spikes are common. One surge can fry your HVAC system, your appliances, and every device plugged into your walls. Surge protection stops that before it happens.
For older homes, we replace outdated outlets with GFCI and AFCI protection where required by code. We install recessed lighting that actually looks good and doesn’t create heat problems in your attic. And if you’re dealing with constant electrical issues, we’ll troubleshoot the root cause instead of just resetting breakers and hoping for the best.
If your breakers trip regularly, your lights dim when appliances turn on, or you’re running a 100-amp panel in a home built before 1990, you probably need an upgrade. Most older Hurst homes weren’t designed for the electrical load we put on them today—multiple computers, smart home devices, electric vehicle chargers, high-efficiency HVAC systems.
Another red flag: if you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, it should be replaced regardless of how it’s performing. These panels were installed in thousands of homes during the 60s and 70s, and they’re known fire hazards. The breakers often fail to trip when they’re supposed to, which means wires can overheat without any warning.
A panel upgrade typically takes one day and brings your home up to current electrical code. You’ll have the capacity to add circuits, plug in what you need without worrying, and most importantly, you’ll have a system that’s actually safe.
Turn off the breaker to that outlet or switch and call us right away. Heat means something’s wrong—loose wiring, a failing connection, or an overloaded circuit. It’s not something that fixes itself, and it’s not something you wait on.
Warm outlets are one of the most common warning signs before an electrical fire. If you also smell burning plastic or see discoloration around the outlet, that’s even more urgent. Don’t plug anything else into it, and don’t try to “test” it to see if it’s still working.
We’ve seen this issue dozens of times in older Hurst homes where the original outlets have been in place for 40+ years. The internal connections wear out. The wiring degrades. Sometimes it’s a simple fix—replacing the outlet and tightening connections. Other times it means there’s a bigger issue with the circuit that needs attention. Either way, it’s worth a service call to know for sure.
It depends on the size of your home, how accessible the wiring is, and how much actually needs replacing. A full rewire for a 1,500-square-foot home typically runs between $6,000 and $12,000. Larger homes or homes with finished basements and limited attic access cost more because the labor is more intensive.
But here’s the thing: most homes don’t need a complete rewire. If you’ve been told you need $15,000 worth of electrical work just because your house was built in 1974, get a second opinion. A lot of times, the issue is isolated to one area—a kitchen that needs updated circuits, a panel that’s undersized, or a few rooms with aluminum wiring that should be replaced.
We’ll tell you what actually needs fixing and what can wait. If your wiring is cloth-wrapped or you’ve got active knob-and-tube, yeah, that needs to be addressed. But if your home’s been maintained and the wiring is copper, you might just need targeted upgrades instead of ripping out every wire in the house.
Yes. We install both portable and whole-home standby generators, and we’ll help you figure out which one makes sense based on what you want to keep running during an outage. A whole-home generator connects directly to your electrical panel and your natural gas line or propane tank. When the power goes out, it kicks on automatically within seconds.
Texas has had more than its share of power outages in the last few years—Hurricane Beryl, the 2021 freeze, summer storms that knock out entire neighborhoods. A backup generator means your fridge, your AC, your medical equipment, and your home office stay powered no matter what’s happening with the grid.
Installation usually takes one to two days depending on the size of the unit and how your home is set up. We handle the permits, the gas line connection, the transfer switch, and the final inspection. Once it’s in, we test it to make sure it’s running correctly, and then we walk you through how to monitor it and when to schedule maintenance.
Yes. If you’ve got a dangerous electrical situation—sparking outlets, burning smells, a panel that’s hot to the touch, or a complete loss of power in part of your home—we can get someone out fast. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
That said, not every issue is an emergency. If your breaker tripped and you just need it reset, that’s something you can handle yourself. But if it trips again immediately, or if you’re not sure why it happened, that’s when you call. Same goes for flickering lights that suddenly get worse, outlets that stop working in multiple rooms, or any situation where you’re uncomfortable touching your electrical system.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference between “this can wait until tomorrow” and “this needs attention now.” If you’re not sure, call anyway. We’d rather talk you through it and give you peace of mind than have you sitting in the dark wondering if your house is safe.
Most electrical repairs—replacing an outlet, fixing a tripped breaker, troubleshooting a circuit issue—take one to three hours. If we’re installing new wiring, upgrading a panel, or adding a subpanel, that’s a longer job. Panel upgrades usually take a full day. Whole-home rewiring or generator installations can take two to three days depending on the scope.
We don’t drag jobs out. Our trucks are stocked with the parts and materials we need for common repairs, so we’re not making multiple trips to the supply house while you wait. If it’s something we can finish the same day, we do.
For bigger projects, we’ll give you a timeline upfront and stick to it. We also clean up after ourselves, which shouldn’t be noteworthy but apparently it is in this industry. You’re not left with drywall dust all over your floors or wire scraps in your yard. We finish the job, test everything, and leave your home the way we found it—just with electrical systems that actually work.
