About Munger Electric and Jordan Turner

An electrician who started the company to stay on the job himself, and the way we work through a problem before anything is replaced.

Owner and manager. Jordan Turner started Munger Electric in 2015 because he wanted to be on the job himself rather than passing work along to someone else. That choice still shapes the company: the person who looks at the problem is the person who explains it.

His first job was pulling wire through the attic of a Dallas duplex, and he learned more that hot afternoon than from any manual. Anyone who has worked in a North Texas attic in summer knows the kind of lesson that is.

The jobs he likes best are older homes where the wiring hides surprises. Tracing a circuit through old walls to learn why a breaker keeps tripping is a puzzle, and solving it makes the house safer. It is careful, unglamorous detail, and he likes it that way.

Working Through the Problem Before the Work

Electrical trouble rarely shows up where it starts. A breaker that trips in the kitchen may be answering a loose connection two rooms away; lights that dim in one bedroom may be telling you about a shared neutral or a tired connection at the panel. Replacing the part in front of you can make the symptom go quiet for a while without touching the cause.

So the work starts with the circuit itself, not with a box of new parts. Once the cause is clear, the choices come in plain terms, along with what each one changes in the house, and the decision stays with you.

That approach suits the housing across Dallas, Highland Park, University Park, Richardson, Garland and Irving: older homes rewired in stages over the decades, mid-century ranches carrying far more appliances than they were built for, and newer houses where a single circuit was asked to do too much. The steps of a visit, from the first call to the finished job, are part of how we work.

Where to Start, Depending on What Brought You Here

A situation usually points to one kind of work, even before anyone opens the panel.

Your situationPage to open
A breaker trips, an outlet died or a switch runs warm Electrical Repairs
The panel is old, or a new air conditioner or addition is planned Panel Upgrades
An electric car will be parked in the garage EV Charger Installation
The house still has two-prong outlets or cloth-covered wire Rewiring
A storm, hail or a freeze left part of the house dark Storm Damage Repair

Questions Worth Asking Any Electrician

Whoever you call, these questions tell you a good deal about how the job will go. They are the same ones we expect to answer.

  • What do you think is causing the problem, and how did you find it?
  • Does the fix put back what was there, or change what the circuit can carry?
  • Will the work need a permit and an inspection where I live?
  • Which circuits will be off while you work, and for roughly how long?
  • Is there anything I should watch for afterward?

An electrician who can answer the first question clearly, before reaching for a part, has usually traced the circuit rather than guessed at it.

Before the First Visit

What happens when I first get in touch?

We ask a few questions about what the house is doing, then set a day for a visit. The steps from there are part of how we work.

Can I send photos before the visit?

Yes. Photos of the panel label, a scorched plate or a storm-damaged mast can be emailed to office@mungerelectric.com, along with a line on what you have noticed.

Does it help to write down what I have noticed?

Very much. Which breaker trips, what was running at the time, whether there was a smell or a sound and when it started: those few notes often point straight at the circuit involved.

Describe the Trouble and We Will Set a Day

Call or send a short note on what the house is doing, and we will ask a few questions and arrange the visit.
