You stop worrying every time you plug something in. Your breaker box handles your AC, appliances, and EV charger without constantly tripping. The lights stay steady when the dishwasher runs.
Your home can actually support how you live now—not how homes were wired in 1985. If you’ve been dealing with outlets that don’t work, switches that spark, or a panel that can’t keep up, you know the frustration. You also know it’s not getting better on its own.
Most homes in Westover Hills built before 1990 are running on 100-amp panels that were never designed for multiple AC units, electric vehicles, and modern appliances. That’s not a failure—it’s just outdated infrastructure. Upgrading to 200-amp service means your electrical system can handle your actual life without constantly fighting you.
We’re a family-owned home electrician serving Westover Hills, TX and the surrounding Fort Worth area since the late 1990s. We’re fully licensed, insured, and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau along with multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List.
We’re not new to your neighborhood. We know the common electrical issues in older Westover Hills homes—undersized panels, missing GFCI outlets, outdated wiring that doesn’t meet current Fort Worth code. We also know what permits you need and how to handle inspections without surprises.
You’re not hiring a contractor who’s learning on your house. You’re hiring electricians who’ve seen your exact problem dozens of times and know how to fix it right the first time.
You call or contact us online. We schedule a time that works for you—often same-day if it’s urgent. A licensed electrician shows up on time, listens to what’s going on, and does a full assessment of your electrical system.
We explain what we find in plain language. No jargon, no upselling. If your panel needs an upgrade, we tell you why, what it costs, and what happens if you don’t do it. If it’s a simple repair, we handle it right then if you approve the work.
Once you’re clear on the scope and price, we pull the necessary permits, complete the work using commercial-grade components, and schedule the city inspection. Everything gets done to current Fort Worth code, and you get a comprehensive warranty covering parts and labor. Most home electrical repair and installation services are completed the same day, and larger projects like panel upgrades typically wrap up within a few days depending on inspection schedules.

We handle everything from electrical troubleshooting for homes in Westover Hills to full panel replacements and new circuit installations. That includes upgrading your 100-amp service to 200-amp, installing GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens where Fort Worth code requires them, and adding dedicated circuits for EV chargers or large appliances.
We also install whole-house surge protection—critical in Texas where power surges from summer storms can fry electronics. Recessed lighting, backup generators, safety inspections before you sell your home—it’s all part of what we do.
Fort Worth adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code, which means AFCI breakers and surge protectors are now required on most panel upgrades. We factor that into every estimate so there are no surprise costs when the inspector shows up. For a standard 200-amp panel replacement in Westover Hills, expect between $2,750 and $5,150 depending on how many circuits need upgrading and what brand of panel you choose. We break down every line item so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
If your breakers trip frequently—especially when running the AC or multiple appliances—that’s the clearest sign your panel can’t handle the load. Other red flags include flickering lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, or a panel that’s over 25 years old.
Most Westover Hills homes built in the 1980s or earlier have 100-amp panels. That was fine when homes had one AC unit and fewer electronics. Now, with dual HVAC systems, EV chargers, and modern kitchens, 100 amps isn’t enough. Upgrading to 200-amp service gives you the capacity to run everything safely without constantly resetting breakers.
If you’re planning any major renovations or adding an EV charger, the city will likely require a panel upgrade to meet current code anyway. It’s worth getting an assessment now so you’re not surprised later.
Yes. Fort Worth requires permits for almost any electrical work that changes your system—panel upgrades, new circuits, outlet additions, anything beyond replacing a light fixture. Skipping permits might save time upfront, but it creates serious problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Unpermitted work can kill a home sale. Buyers’ inspectors will flag it, and you’ll either have to bring everything up to code or lose the deal. Insurance companies can also deny claims if they discover unpermitted electrical work contributed to a fire or other damage.
We handle all permits and inspections as part of our service. It’s built into the timeline and cost, so you don’t have to worry about it. The city inspector comes out, verifies everything meets the 2023 NEC requirements, and you get documentation that the work was done legally and safely.
The licensing is the same in Texas, but the day-to-day work is different. Residential electricians focus on home electrical systems—panels, outlets, lighting, troubleshooting problems in older houses. Commercial electricians work on larger buildings with three-phase power, complex systems, and different code requirements.
Some electricians do both. We’ve been doing residential and commercial work in the DFW area for over 25 years, so we’re comfortable in both environments. But for your home in Westover Hills, you want someone who’s dealt with the specific quirks of residential wiring—knob-and-tube in older homes, undersized panels, GFCI requirements in kitchens and bathrooms.
Experience matters. A residential electrician who’s worked in your neighborhood knows what to expect when they open your panel or start troubleshooting. They’ve seen the common problems and know how to fix them without running into surprises that blow up the timeline or budget.
For a standard 200-amp panel replacement in Westover Hills, you’re looking at $2,750 to $5,150 in 2025. The range depends on the panel brand, how many circuits need AFCI breakers under the new code, and whether you’re adding a whole-house surge protector—which is now required by the 2023 NEC.
If your home needs a service upgrade from the meter to the panel, that adds to the cost because it involves coordination with your utility company. Same if we’re relocating the panel or dealing with outdated wiring that needs to be brought up to code.
We give you a detailed estimate upfront that breaks down materials, labor, permit fees, and timeline. No surprises. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we start, and the price doesn’t change unless you approve additional work.
Yes. Most EV chargers need a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which means running new wiring from your panel to the garage or wherever you’re parking. If your panel is already at capacity, you’ll need an upgrade first—but that’s often the case in older Westover Hills homes anyway.
We handle the entire installation: assessing your panel capacity, pulling permits, running the circuit, mounting the charger, and scheduling the city inspection. A typical Level 2 charger installation takes a day, assuming your panel can support it. If you need a panel upgrade, that adds a few more days depending on inspection schedules.
Charging overnight at home is way more convenient than relying on public chargers, and a Level 2 setup fully charges most EVs in 4-6 hours. We’ll walk you through the options and help you pick a charger that fits your vehicle and budget.
Turn off the breaker to that circuit immediately and don’t use the outlet or switch until an electrician checks it. A burning smell usually means a loose connection, damaged wiring, or an overloaded circuit—all of which can cause a fire if ignored.
Don’t wait on this. Electrical fires often start small and smolder for hours before anyone notices. If you see scorch marks, feel heat, or smell burning plastic, that’s an emergency. We offer same-day service for urgent electrical issues in Westover Hills, and we’ll get someone out fast.
Once we’re there, we’ll identify the source, make the repair, and check the rest of your system to make sure there aren’t other problems waiting to happen. Electrical issues don’t fix themselves, and they don’t get better over time—they get worse.
