Can you install an EV charger if my panel is full?

Usually. Options include a load-management device, a sub panel, or a full 200 amp panel upgrade. We'll do a load calculation and recommend the most cost-effective path.

Do I need a permit for electrical work?

New circuits, panel work, generators, EV chargers and rewiring generally require a permit in Texas cities. We handle the permit and inspection.

Why do my lights flicker?

Common causes include a loose neutral, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, incompatible LED dimmers or a utility-side issue. Whole-house flicker is a potential safety issue — call us.

What size generator do I need?

Essentials only: 10–14 kW. Essentials plus one AC: 18–22 kW. Whole home with two ACs: 24 kW+. We size it properly with a load calculation.

Is aluminum wiring dangerous?

It can be if connections loosen. Options range from approved pigtailing to full rewiring. We'll inspect and recommend.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most 200 amp upgrades are completed in one day, with power off for 4–8 hours. We coordinate the utility disconnect and inspection.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes — offices, restaurants, retail, warehouses, light industrial, new construction and ongoing maintenance.

Do you install whole house surge protection?

Yes. A panel-mounted surge protector typically costs $350–$750 installed and protects every circuit in the home.
