Panel Upgrades & Replacements

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. If you have a panel from before 1990, a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, or you keep tripping breakers — it's time for an upgrade. I install Square D, Siemens, and Eaton panels with 200A service.

All new breakers — arc fault (AFCI) and ground fault (GFCI) where required
Permit pulled and inspection scheduled

Coordination with Austin Energy for disconnect / reconnect

EV Charger Installation

I've installed 150+ Level 2 home chargers in the Austin metro. A Level 2 charger is 5–10x faster than a standard outlet — most cars charge fully overnight. I handle the permit, install a dedicated circuit, mount the charger, and schedule the inspection.

What's Included

Dedicated 240V / 50A circuit from panel to garage
NEMA 14-50 outlet or hardwired installation
Permit pulled and inspection passed — every time
Charger mounting and commissioning
Works with Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Grizzl-E, and all J1772 EVs
Starting at $500–$800 installed (most projects)

›You just bought or ordered an EV
›You are relying on a standard 110V outlet (Level 1) to charge
›Your commute is more than 30 miles/day
›You want to charge overnight and start each morning at 100%

Outlet & Switch Repair

Sparking outlets, dead outlets, outlets that won't hold a plug — these aren't just annoying, they're fire hazards. I diagnose and fix the problem, not just replace the outlet.

Whole-Home Rewiring
