What electrical services do you offer in Katy TX?

If it involves wiring in your home, our licensed electricians can handle it.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?
Panel upgrade costs vary based on your home's current amperage, panel age, and whether your wiring meets current code. Most Katy homeowners upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel should expect a range that depends on panel brand, permit fees, and any code-required updates. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after a quick on-site inspection so you know the exact cost before any work begins.
Do you offer same-day or emergency electrical service?
Yes. Electrical emergencies — like a burning smell, sparking outlet, tripped panel that won't reset, or total power loss — don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Katy and surrounding communities.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every electrician on our team is a licensed, insured electrical contractor in the state of Texas. We've been serving Katy homeowners for [X years], and all work is performed to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and passes local inspection.
How do I know if I need an electrical panel upgrade?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights when appliances turn on, a panel still using fuses instead of breakers, or a home under 150 amps running modern AC units, EV chargers, or multiple large appliances. If you're unsure, we offer a free panel inspection to tell you exactly where you stand.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install Level 2 EV home charging stations for all major EV brands, including proper circuit sizing, panel capacity assessment, and permitting. Many older Katy homes need a panel upgrade alongside EV charger installation — we evaluate this during your free estimate so there are no surprises.
What areas do you service besides Katy?
In addition to Katy, we regularly serve Richmond, Brookshire, Fulshear, and surrounding Fort Bend and Harris County communities. Not sure if you're in our service area? Contact us and we'll confirm right away.
Is there a warranty on your electrical work?
Yes. All of our electrical installations and repairs are backed by a workmanship warranty, and parts are covered under manufacturer warranty. We stand behind every job — if something isn't right, we come back and fix it.

What are signs of an electrical emergency?
Call an electrician immediately if you notice: burning smells from outlets or the panel, visible sparks, a breaker that won't reset, warm or discolored outlet covers, or buzzing sounds from your panel. These are signs of a fire risk and shouldn't wait.
Can multiple upgrades be done in one visit?
Often yes. Panel upgrades pair well with surge protection, EV charger prep, and related circuit work when planned together.
