Everything we do, from a dead outlet to a new panel, and how to tell which kind of work a problem calls for.
Most calls start with a symptom rather than a service name: a breaker that will not stay on, a room that went dark, lights that dim whenever the air conditioner kicks in. That is the right place to start, because one symptom can come from very different faults. A breaker that trips with the air conditioner may be a worn breaker, a loose connection at the outdoor disconnect or a circuit carrying more than it was built for.
Our work covers panel upgrades, circuit breaker replacement, rewiring, troubleshooting, outlet and switch repair, GFCI outlets, ceiling fan and light fixture installation, recessed lighting, EV charger installation, whole-house surge protection and smoke detector installation. Whatever the job, finding the cause comes before replacing parts, so the repair answers the fault that is really there.
Dead outlets, breakers that trip, switches that run warm, lights that flicker and GFCI outlets that will not reset. We find the cause before anything is replaced, so the repair matches the fault.
Replacing an old fuse box or a worn breaker panel, or making room for an air conditioner, an addition or an EV charger. Panel work covers the breakers, clear labeling and, when the meter has to be pulled, coordination with the utility.
A dedicated circuit for a Level 2 charger, sized from the charger’s rating and the panel’s spare capacity, with the run planned around an attached or detached garage.
Replacing knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, cloth-insulated cable and ungrounded two-prong circuits in older Dallas houses, room by room or all at once.
Match what is happening in the house to the work it usually calls for. If two lines fit, start with the first; a look at one usually turns up the other.

| The house still has a fuse box, or the panel is decades old | Panel Upgrades |
| You are adding a large appliance, an addition or central air | Panel Upgrades |
| An electric car is on the way | EV Charger Installation |
| Two-prong outlets, cloth wire or brittle insulation in the attic | Rewiring |
| The power went out or surged during a storm | Storm Damage Repair |
| You are buying or have just moved into an older home | New Property Electrical |
Some calls are about a situation rather than a single fault. After spring thunderstorms, hail, high wind or a winter freeze, the first questions are different: whether the problem sits on the utility’s side of the meter or yours, and what is safe to touch before anyone arrives. Both questions are part of storm damage repair.
Buying, moving into or remodeling an older bungalow or mid-century house brings its own list: too few outlets, two-prong receptacles, an inspection report full of flagged items. Sorting that list before and after closing is the work of new property electrical visits.
Any one of these points to heat or a loose connection somewhere in the circuit, and neither is a fix for a weekend. Replacing a cover plate will not reach the cause.
A repair puts back something that used to work: an outlet that died, a breaker that wore out, a loose connection behind a switch. An upgrade changes what the system can carry, such as a larger panel, new circuits or new wiring. When a breaker trips because one part failed, it is a repair; when it trips because the house now asks more of the circuit than it was built for, the lasting fix is usually an upgrade.
Call or send a short description of the problem, and we will ask a few questions and set a day for a visit.
