Electrical Panel Upgrades

From outdated fuse boxes to modern 200‑amp service, we handle the entire upgrade process — permits, installation, and inspection — with minimal disruption.

Does Your Panel Need an Upgrade?

Many older Austin homes still have 60‑100 amp panels or outdated fuse boxes. Today's appliances, electronics, and EV chargers demand more power. Here are clear signs it's time for an upgrade:

  • Frequent breaker trips when using multiple appliances.
  • Flickering or dimming lights when the HVAC system starts.
  • Fuse box instead of modern circuit breakers.
  • Warm or discolored panel cover.
  • Burning smell or scorch marks near the panel.
  • Adding a major appliance (tankless water heater, EV charger, AC unit).
  • Panel is over 25 years old and has never been inspected.
