What to expect from our electricians
We begin with a load calculation and site walk, then size your new panel—often 200A for modern homes. Our team handles permits, Austin Energy coordination, safe removal of the old gear, and neat installation with torqued connections, updated grounding and bonding, and clearly labeled circuits. If you’re adding EV charging, we’ll coordinate placement and discuss ev charger installation. During the visit, many homeowners choose to add surge protection for whole-home defense. If your panel issues started with trips or flicker, our electrical troubleshooting service can pinpoint problems upstream or downstream of the panel.

Can you replace my fuse box with breakers?
Yes. We convert older fuse systems to modern breaker panels with proper grounding and labeling.
Will a new panel give me more spaces for circuits?
Yes. New panels provide added capacity and room for future circuits like EV chargers or kitchen upgrades.
