Electrical Services for Your Home
Our Master Electrical License and our licensed electrical contractor number, TECL 36609, mean the person planning your job is qualified to design it and answers for it. We cover everything from the meter base and main panel to each branch circuit: panel upgrades, electrical repair, lighting installation, EV charger installation, whole-home rewiring, remodel and addition wiring, generator installation, generator service and repair, home battery backup systems, surge protection, code corrections and inspection fixes, and torque and cleans for the equipment you already have. Every completed job comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty.
Panel Upgrades
We replace worn, undersized or recalled electrical panels after a load calculation, with permits, inspection and your floors covered the whole time.
Electrical Repair
Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flicker and warm switch plates traced with test equipment, repaired at the source, and explained before we leave.
Lighting Installation
New recessed lights, fixtures, fans, dimmers and outdoor lighting, with the right boxes, ratings and controls for each spot.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charger circuits sized to your panel's real capacity, run along a planned route, inspected as required, and tested with your car plugged in.
Whole-Home Rewiring
New copper circuits, grounded outlets and code-required protection throughout your home, installed through small openings with floors covered and daily updates.
Generator Installation
Standby generators and portable generator inlets, sized to your loads and wired through a proper transfer switch so power never backfeeds the utility line.
Generator Service & Repair
Maintenance and repair for standby and portable generators, from dead starting batteries to transfer switches that won't move to generator power.
Home Battery Backup
Wall-mounted battery systems that keep your fridge, lights, internet and other chosen circuits running through an outage, switching over automatically.
Remodel & Addition Wiring
New circuits, outlets, lighting and feeders for kitchens, baths and additions, sized to your panel and roughed in before the walls close.
Code Corrections
We work through the electrical items on an inspection report, from missing GFCI protection to double-tapped breakers, and explain each correction.
Surge Protection
A surge protective device at your panel, backed by a grounding check, so spikes are clamped before they reach appliances and electronics.
Torque & Cleans
We de-energize your panel, retighten every lug and breaker terminal to its rated torque, and clean out the dust and debris that trap heat.

A Forest Hill Electrician That Treats Your House Like an Occupied Home
People live in the houses we work on. Kids nap, dogs need to stay inside, and someone may be working from the kitchen table. We plan around that: we let you know how long the power will be off, which rooms we need, and when we will be done for the day.
We also think the reasoning behind a repair matters as much as the repair. If your bedroom outlets went dead, you should know whether it was a failed backstab connection, a tripped GFCI two rooms away or a loose neutral in the panel. Knowing the cause helps you decide what else to check and keeps you from paying twice.
North Texas summers push air conditioners hard and spring storms bring surges, so much of our work is making sure your panel, connections and surge protection can carry that load safely for years.

Why Electrical Jobs Cost What They Do
Jobs that share a name can land at very different prices. Swapping a panel on an open garage wall is not the same day as one behind finished drywall fed by an undersized service drop. We quote once we've seen the work and walk you through each line of the price.
Once the service visit is done, you get a written scope covering the work, materials and permit steps. If opening a wall changes things, we discuss it with you before the price changes.
- Panel capacity and service size
- Stepping up from a smaller service to 200 amps may call for a new meter base, heavier service conductors and work with the utility, not only a new breaker box. New loads such as an EV charger or a heat pump can push a job into the bigger category.
- How easy the wiring is to reach
- An open attic and an unfinished garage let us route wire quickly. Slab foundations, vaulted ceilings or walls finished on both sides mean more time and more patching, which adds labor.
- Shape of the existing system
- Crumbling insulation, loose aluminum connections or a panel brand known for problems can grow a small repair into a bigger correction. We point out what is sound and what is not.
- The equipment you pick
- A 40-amp charger and a 60-amp charger call for different wire and breakers. The size of a standby generator, the type of transfer switch and the battery capacity each change the materials list.
- Permit and inspection costs
- Plenty of jobs need a permit and one or more inspections set by the local jurisdiction. The fees and the time spent meeting the inspector count toward the cost, and our estimate includes them.
How We Work Inside Your Home
Electrical work touches the whole house, from the attic to the flower bed where a conduit runs. We plan for that, and we keep you informed while it happens.
Floors and landscaping protected
We lay runners from the door to the panel and wear shoe covers indoors. Ladders sit on pads, not bare hardwood or tile. When a job needs a trench for a generator feed or an outdoor circuit, we cut the sod carefully, set it aside and put it back when the conduit is buried.
Master-level license on every job
Our Master Electrical License and our contractor license, TECL 36609, mean the work is designed, permitted and installed by people the state has qualified to do it. You are not handing your service panel to an unlicensed helper.
We stop and show you before we change the plan
Opening a wall sometimes turns up a scorched splice, an overloaded junction box or a buried connection with no box at all. When that happens we pause, show you a photo, explain why it matters and give you the options before we continue. Nothing gets added to your job without your say.
Testing before parts
A tripping breaker can be a worn breaker, a shared neutral, a failing appliance or moisture in an outdoor box. We test with a meter and isolate circuits until we know which, so you pay for the fix that actually solves it.
A warranty you can hold us to
Our work carries a 1-year workmanship warranty. Should a splice, termination or device we installed fail because of our workmanship during that year, we schedule a return trip and correct it.
How a Job Runs From First Call to Final Walkthrough
Most homeowners want to know who will be in the house, for how long and when the power goes off. Here is the order we follow.
- 1
You call and describe the problem
Describe the symptom, like a dead outlet or a breaker that won't reset, or the project you have in mind. We ask about your panel, the age of the house and any recent changes, then book a service visit at a time that suits you.
- 2
We inspect and test
We look at the panel, the affected circuits and the areas where new wire would run. For repairs, we trace the fault until we can name the cause.
- 3
You get a written scope
We explain what we found in plain terms and give you the scope in writing, including any permit and inspection steps. You decide whether and when to go ahead.
- 4
Work day, with your home protected
We cover floors, tell you before the main breaker is shut off and keep the work area contained. If a wall has to be opened, we tell you where and why before cutting.
- 5
Inspection, cleanup and walkthrough
We meet the inspector when one is required, vacuum up drywall dust and wire scraps, and walk you through what changed, including any new breakers labeled in the panel.
What Homeowners Want to Know
Will you get the permit?
We will. If the job needs a permit, we obtain it and book the inspections the local jurisdiction requires. That usually covers panel upgrades, new circuits, generators and EV chargers. The permit fee appears in your written scope.
How much time does a panel replacement take?
A simple replacement normally fills most of a workday, with the power off for a good part of it. When the service size goes up, the utility must disconnect and reconnect it, and fitting that into their schedule can put days between the visit and the work. You hear the expected outage window before we begin.
Can my garage get an EV charger?
In most homes it can. We start by checking how much spare capacity the panel has, because a 240-volt charger on a 40- or 50-amp circuit pulls heavy current for hours. If there is room, we run a dedicated circuit to your parking spot. If there isn't, we explain the options, like a load management device or a panel upgrade.
What makes a breaker keep tripping?
A breaker opens when it detects current above its rating, a short, or, on GFCI and AFCI breakers, a ground fault or arcing. Typical causes include several heavy loads on one circuit, an appliance motor going bad, damaged wire in a wall, or water in an outdoor outlet. Breakers also wear out. We test the circuit to pin down the cause rather than simply replacing the breaker.
Do you stand behind the work once you're gone?
We do. Every installation comes with a 1-year workmanship warranty covering the splices, terminations and devices we put in. If one comes loose or fails during that year because of our installation, call us and we will book a return visit to fix it.
What do you do to keep my floors and yard clean?
Runners and drop cloths cover the path we use, we wear shoe covers inside and ladders stand on pads. Outdoors, sod is lifted and saved before we dig and laid back once the conduit is buried. Each day ends with dust and scraps cleaned out of the work area.
Does someone have to be home while you work?
We'd like an adult there when we arrive to go over the plan and again at the end for the walkthrough. Most people carry on with their day in between. We give notice before the power goes off so you can save your work or plan for the fridge and freezer.
