Electrical Panel Upgrades & Repair for Dallas Properties
Dallas summers push electrical demand to its yearly peak, and that sustained load is exactly what exposes an undersized panel or a breaker that's already on its way out. Panels don't announce that they're undersized — they just keep tripping breakers, running warm, or showing corrosion until something forces the issue. A load calculation determines whether a repair, an amperage upgrade, or a full panel replacement actually fixes the problem.
Coverage extends across Dallas, including Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow, and the surrounding area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the whole Dallas metro or just the city core?
Coverage extends across Dallas and into the surrounding North Texas metro — call to confirm coverage for a specific address if you're near the edge of the service area.
Are you used to older Dallas homes with original 1960s-70s panels?
Yes — undersized original panels and aging wiring in Dallas's older housing stock are a routine part of the work here.
Do storm-related outages get priority in Dallas during spring storm season?
Yes — surge damage and outages tied to active severe weather are treated as priority calls, the same as any other electrical emergency.
Do you handle electrical work for new infill construction in Dallas neighborhoods?
Yes — new-build wiring in Dallas's infill and remodel projects is handled alongside service work on older homes.
How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
Warning signs include a panel that's warm to the touch, breakers with no room left for new circuits, visible corrosion, or still running on original 100-amp service in a home that's added AC, an EV charger, or other major loads since. A load calculation gives a definitive answer.
Can a panel be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes — a single failed breaker or a loose connection can often be repaired without replacing the whole panel. A full replacement becomes the right call when the panel itself is outdated, undersized, or shows signs of a larger failure.
Does a panel upgrade require a permit?
In most Texas jurisdictions, yes — panel work typically requires a permit and inspection. That coordination is handled as part of the job rather than left for the homeowner to sort out.
