Located in Austin, Granger is on our normal dispatch route.

Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ

5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew

The price you sign is the price you pay

A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.

No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.

No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.

If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.

Cash discount may show up on the invoice.

DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.

A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.

No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.

Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.

If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.

What we see for electrical panel upgrade in Granger

Granger is a small Williamson County town with mostly pre-1980 housing and surrounding farm acreage. electrical panel upgrade jobs here often include older home service upgrades and rural-utility work characteristic of small farming communities.

How electrical panel upgrade typically runs in Granger

Panel upgrades start with a real load calc against actual planned loads, square footage, kitchen and laundry, HVAC, EV charger if applicable, generator if applicable, future expansion. Most older homes (1960s-1970s) have 60A or 100A service that overshoots modern usage the moment you add an EV charger or central AC. The upgrade involves a planned utility cut and reconnect (typically four to six hours of power-down), new main panel and breakers, grounding electrode system updates if needed, surge protection at the service entrance, and a new permit pulled and inspected. Service entrance conductor gets replaced when the existing wire is undersized for the new amperage.

Permits and code in Texas

Austin metro cities pull permits through their own AHJs (the city of Austin uses Austin Energy and the city development services; outlying cities run through the county). The state adopts the National Electrical Code with Texas amendments. We pull the permit when the scope requires it, schedule any inspection, and close out the work in your file. Granger-specific permit notes go on the quote so you know what is required before any work begins.

Calls from this page reach the Austin team directly. Granger is part of our day-to-day coverage, dispatched from our Round Rock shop with the same crew that runs every other Austin-area job. After-hours emergencies are dispatched when capacity allows; routine jobs are usually scheduled within a few business days depending on parts and scope.

Common questions for Electrical Panel Upgrade in Granger

Do I need to upgrade from 100A to 200A?

You need to if your load calc exceeds your current service capacity. Most homes built before 1985 have 100A or 60A service and exceed it the moment you add an EV charger, a hot tub, central AC, or a whole-home generator. We run a real load calc and tell you in writing whether the upgrade is required or recommended.

How much does a panel upgrade cost?

Cost depends on amperage (200A), whether the service entrance conductor needs replacement, the panel brand and breaker count, grounding updates, and the utility coordination required. We quote in writing after the site walk so the number is fixed before work starts.

How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?

Typically four to six hours during the utility cut and reconnect window. We schedule the cut early, complete the panel swap, and call for the utility reconnect once the inspection clears. Some larger upgrades or service-entrance changes run longer.

Do you pull the permit for a panel upgrade?

Yes. Service upgrades require a permit in every jurisdiction we work, and we pull it in the homeowner or property owner name. We schedule any inspection and the utility reconnect, and close the permit when the the work is complete.

Will my existing breakers transfer to the new panel?

Sometimes. If the existing breakers are the same brand and current generation, we can transfer the compatible ones. AFCI and GFCI breakers usually transfer cleanly when the manufacturer is the same. Older, brand-mismatched, or recalled breakers (FPE Stab-Lok, Zinsco) get replaced with new code-compliant breakers.
