“Had to upgrade my electrical panel and I figured it would be a headache. But Garrett showed up on time and handled everything. The team was respectful of my home, cleaned up afterward, and finished earlier than expected. The new panel looks great and I feel much safer running ...”

Permits

Permits and inspections

Not every job requires a permit. When the local AHJ requires one, we pull it, schedule the inspection, and stay with the job until it passes. No paperwork on you.

Warranty

What's covered

Written warranty: 5-year on outlets, fixtures, and EV chargers; 10-year on wire and breakers; lifetime on panelboxes and surge protection. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.

05 - WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

For home electrical rewiring, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.

Keil Electric

A licensed electrician

Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.

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.

Across West Lake Hills, TX, Keil Electric runs home electrical rewiring as part of our regular Austin service area coverage.

What we see for home electrical rewiring in West Lake Hills

West Lake Hills is an upscale Travis County enclave west of Austin with mostly mid-century to post-2000 custom homes on larger lots. home electrical rewiring jobs lean high-end: multi-structure wiring, smart-home integration, and complex renovations on aging mid-century properties with original electrical infrastructure.

How home electrical rewiring typically runs in West Lake Hills

A rewire scope starts with documenting existing conditions, accessible runs in attics, crawlspaces, and basements; a sample of outlet and switch box pulls to identify the wiring vintage; photo-documentation of conditions for the file. Pre-1950 knob-and-tube, 1965-1973 aluminum branch, and aged Romex with brittle insulation are the three vintages that warrant remediation. The work phases room-by-room with new circuits energized before old ones de-energize, so the home stays livable. Permits get pulled, the rough-in inspection has to pass before drywall closes, and the final inspection closes the work in your file.

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. West Lake Hills-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. West Lake Hills 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 Home Electrical Rewiring in West Lake Hills

How much does a whole-home rewire cost?

Cost is driven by square footage, accessibility (slab vs basement vs crawl), wall finish (drywall vs plaster), the number of circuits and devices, and panel work. Whole-home rewires on older homes typically run a meaningful project, and we quote in writing per room before any work begins.

How long does a rewire take?

Rough-in for a typical 2,000 sq ft home with reasonable access is one to two weeks. Trim, drywall coordination, and inspections add another one to two weeks. Larger or harder-access homes run longer. We give you a real schedule before we start.

Do I need to move out during a rewire?

Usually no. We phase the work so power stays on in occupied rooms and outages are scheduled. Larger homes can be rewired while the homeowner stays in place.

Will my insurance require this?

Many insurance carriers will not write or renew a homeowner policy on a house with active knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring. If your carrier flagged your wiring, we provide a remediation report after the rewire so the policy can be renewed.

Do you have to open every wall?

Not necessarily. Where access is available from above (attic) or below (crawlspace, basement), we can fish new cable without opening drywall. In modern slab-on-grade homes with insulated attics, more wall openings are usually required. We map the access path during the site walk.
