Electrical Services in Austin
Every service line in one place, grouped the way most calls start: something to fix, something to add, or light to improve.
Most homeowners arrive with one of three needs. Something stopped working and has to be found and fixed. The house needs more capacity or protection than it has, usually because of a new car, a bigger air conditioner or a storm that took the power out. Or a room needs better light. The services below are grouped that way, and each one has its own page with the detail.
Repairs
For outlets, switches, circuits and wiring that are not doing their job.
Upgrades
For panels and services that are full or dated, cars that need charging, and homes that need surge protection or backup power.
Lighting & Fans
For new fixtures and fans, recessed lighting, dimmers and outdoor lights, from one room to a whole remodel.

Small Commercial and Property Management Work
Besides homes, the company takes on light commercial work: lighting for a tenant space before it opens, panel and circuit additions when an office adds equipment, and repair calls for small multi-unit buildings, where one dead circuit can affect a whole row of units. Property managers can send several units’ issues in one request, with the unit numbers and what each tenant reported.
For this kind of work, send a request with the building type, how many units or suites are involved, and when the space can be worked in.
When the Utility Has to Act
Some jobs need the electric utility as well as an electrician. A panel or service change usually means the meter is pulled and the power cut at the service, then reconnected after the work passes inspection. Inside the City of Austin that is Austin Energy; outside the city it may be Pedernales Electric Cooperative, Oncor, Bluebonnet or a city utility, depending on where you live. Your electric bill names your utility. Scheduling that disconnect and reconnect is part of planning the job, and it is one reason a panel change is booked ahead rather than done the same day.

Questions About Services
What kinds of jobs do you take on?
Most calls are outlet and switch replacements, ceiling fans and light fixtures, recessed lighting, custom lighting layouts, and new circuits for kitchens, garages and home offices. Dead outlets and flickering lights are common too. Because the company began as a handyman service, the demolition, patching and remodeling around electrical work can be handled on the same job.
Can one visit cover several tasks?
Often, yes. A fan, two dead outlets and a new garage circuit can share one visit when they are listed up front, so the right parts and enough time come along. Larger items, such as a panel change, usually get their own day because the power is off for part of it.
How should I describe the job in the request form?
Say what you see and where: “the outlets on the kitchen island stopped working after a breaker tripped” tells more than “electrical problem.” Add the panel brand or amperage if you know it, when the problem started, and whether anything smells hot or looks scorched. Photos can follow by email.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
Light commercial work, yes: tenant-space lighting, panel and circuit additions, and repair calls for small offices and multi-unit buildings. Large new commercial construction is outside what the company takes on.
How do I request service?
Call (737) 348-0227 during business hours, or use the request form any time with a short description of the job.
