Emergency Electrician Services Austin

You have complete power loss, sparking outlets, or burning electrical smells. Your family is experiencing electrical hazards at night or on weekends. You have tripped breakers that won't reset or exposed wiring.

Licensed electricians arrive within 1-2 hours for electrical emergencies. We're available 24/7 including holidays and weekends. We're fully equipped to handle power outages, electrical fires, and safety hazards. You get immediate problem resolution to restore safe electrical function.

Austin's summer storms frequently cause electrical issues. We responded to hundreds of emergency calls during 2021 winter storm power outages. We serve all areas from Mueller to Bee Cave when electrical emergencies strike.

Electrical Panel Upgrade Austin

You have a 100-amp panel trying to run modern electrical loads. Your older Austin home from the 60s-90s has an outdated fuse box or panel. You're adding major appliances like an EV charger, pool equipment, or home addition.

We upgrade electrical panels from 100-amp to 200-amp service for modern electrical needs. We replace Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other unsafe panel brands. We add circuits for new appliances without overloading your system. Our work passes Austin Energy and city electrical inspections.

Many Brentwood and Allandale homes still have original 100-amp panels. Austin's housing boom means older homes need capacity upgrades. Panel upgrades are required for most EV charger and solar panel installations.

EV Charger Installation Austin

You own a Tesla, Rivian, Ford Lightning, or other EV and need home charging. You're switching to an electric vehicle. Your property needs EV charging for tenant amenities.

We install Level 2 chargers (240V) for fast overnight charging. We handle electrical panel capacity assessment and upgrades if needed. We pull permits and pass inspections required by the City of Austin. We work with all major charger brands including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, and JuiceBox.

Austin has one of the highest EV adoption rates in Texas. Many garages in Hyde Park and Tarrytown need panel upgrades for EV charging. Austin Energy offers rebates up to $1,200 for qualified EV charger installations.

Electrical Repair Austin

You have flickering lights, dead outlets, or switches that don't work. Tripping breakers are disrupting your daily life. You discovered electrical issues during a home inspection.

We diagnose the root cause of electrical problems, not just symptoms. We repair faulty wiring, damaged circuits, and failing components. We bring older electrical systems up to current code standards. Same-day repairs handle most common electrical issues.

Austin's clay soil causes foundation shifts that damage electrical wiring. Older East Austin homes often have outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. We repair damage from Austin's occasional hard freezes and summer storms.

Ceiling Fan Installation Austin

You want to reduce AC costs during long Austin summers. You're replacing broken or outdated ceiling fans. Your new construction or room addition needs fan installation.

We install fans on existing electrical boxes or add new support if needed. We balance fans properly for quiet, wobble-free operation. We add wall controls, remote controls, or smart home integration. We verify electrical boxes are rated for fan weight and motion.

Ceiling fans reduce AC costs significantly during Austin's 100+ degree summers. We install hundreds of fans annually in Pflugerville and Round Rock. Proper fan direction matters—counterclockwise in summer, clockwise in winter.

Outlet Installation Austin

Your rooms lack enough outlets for modern electronics. Your kitchens and bathrooms need GFCI outlets for code compliance. Your home office requires dedicated circuits for equipment.

We add outlets where you need them without running extension cords. We install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. We add USB outlets for device charging convenience. We ensure proper grounding for safety and electronics protection.

Austin building code requires GFCI protection within 6 feet of water sources. Many older Travis Heights homes lack adequate outlet spacing. Home offices in converted garages often need additional circuits.

Lighting Installation Austin

You're upgrading to LED fixtures for energy savings. You're installing recessed lighting, chandeliers, or pendant lights. You're adding under-cabinet lighting in your kitchen.

We install indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures safely. We add dimmer switches and smart lighting controls. We ensure proper electrical box support for heavy fixtures. LED upgrades reduce your energy bills and heat output.

LED lighting stays cooler—important when Austin attics reach 150+ degrees. Recessed lighting is popular in Westlake Hills kitchen remodels. Smart lighting systems integrate with Austin Energy time-of-use rates.

Circuit Breaker Replacement Austin

Your breakers trip frequently or won't reset. Your breakers feel hot to touch or show burn marks. You're adding circuits for new appliances or room additions.

We replace worn or damaged breakers before they cause fires. We add AFCI and GFCI breakers where code requires. We upgrade breaker capacity for high-draw appliances. We identify and fix the causes of frequent tripping.

Austin summer AC loads stress older breakers beyond their design life. Federal Pacific and Zinsco breakers common in older Austin homes are fire hazards. Modern AFCI breakers are required in most rooms per current electrical code.

Whole House Surge Protector Austin

You're protecting expensive electronics, appliances, and smart home equipment. Your home is in an area with frequent lightning storms or power fluctuations. You want to prevent damage from Austin Energy grid surges.

We install surge protection at your main electrical panel. We protect your entire home from lightning and power surges. We safeguard HVAC systems, appliances, and electronics worth thousands. We provide backup protection beyond plug-in surge strips.

Austin summer thunderstorms cause power surges that damage electronics. Texas grid fluctuations during high demand periods create voltage spikes. Whole-home protection costs less than replacing one damaged HVAC system.

Home Rewiring Austin

Your home was built in the 60s-80s with outdated or unsafe wiring. Your property has aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube systems. Your home renovation requires electrical system upgrades.

We replace outdated wiring with modern, code-compliant systems. We eliminate fire hazards from deteriorating insulation. We increase home value and help you pass inspection for insurance and sales. We complete rewiring with minimal damage to walls and ceilings.

Many Tarrytown and Clarksville homes have original 1960s wiring. Austin's housing market requires updated electrical for home sales. Rewiring is often combined with insulation upgrades in older homes.

Whole Home Backup Generator Austin

You experienced 2021 winter storm power outages. Your family needs reliable power for medical equipment. You're a remote worker who can't afford extended outages.

We install automatic standby generators that start within seconds of an outage. We size generators properly for your home's electrical load. We connect to natural gas or propane for extended runtime. We handle permits, inspections, and utility coordination.

The 2021 winter storm left Austin without power for days. Texas grid reliability concerns drive generator demand. Generators protect against both summer peak demand outages and winter events.

Landscape Lighting Installation Austin

You're enhancing curb appeal and outdoor living spaces. You need security lighting for driveways, walkways, and dark yard areas. You want to highlight landscaping, trees, and architectural features.

We design and install low-voltage LED landscape lighting systems. We illuminate pathways, patios, and outdoor entertainment areas. We add timers and smart controls for automatic operation. We use weather-resistant fixtures built for Texas heat and storms.

Austin's outdoor living culture makes landscape lighting popular. Lighting oak trees and native landscaping is common in Westlake and Bee Cave. Low-voltage systems handle Austin's clay soil shifts better than line-voltage systems.
