If you need a simple fix, replacement, or just a few minor things installed or tidied up. We're also experts at diagnosing and tracking down electrical issues and handling safety concerns.
New fixtures (ceiling fans, lights, outlets, switches), LED upgrades, GFCI protection, smoke detectors, new circuits, new interior panels
We offer a more straightforward electrical inspection than a typical home inspection report, and we take into consideration the age of your home and what is/isn't considered safe and to-code. We'll be honest with you: we'll tell you "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," or if you need to take action quickly.
If you want to change the look of your home, refresh your old wiring, or your need more power to our home, we got you covered.
Whether you're building a new home or business, we are there from the ground-up to make sure everything is safe and to-code.
All of our estimates are free of charge* (see pricing below). If you have a major project, or maybe just a lot of little things, we can give you an all-in-one price.

We currently have 3 master electricians, 2 journeymen, and 1 apprentice, with a combined experience of over 80 years.
All are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), which covers National Electric Code requirements.
We carry liability insurance.
We are licensed and independent contractors registered in the State of Texas.
Yes, the basics like wire, boxes, connectors, some stock plugs,
switches, etc. We don’t have enough room for a wide range selection, since
fixtures come in so many styles and colors. If you have a
fixture that you’d like to use, you can get it ahead of
time, or you can tell us what color plug/switch you need, and we can pick it up.
No, we do not repair small or large appliances, data, or communications. You will need to contact
the appropriate contractor and/or handyman. The only thing we
deal with is the electrical power sources. Check if your fan/light has a manufacturer’s warranty, and send it for repair or replacement. If your light is beyond its warranty, you can bring it to a
specialty lighting store for assessment.
It depends. Most service calls you don't, but many larger projects you do. We will pull a permit if necessary, but we will charge for the cost of
the permit and our time to procure it. The price depends on the nature
of the job and what city the work is being done in, and we will let you
know beforehand what the cost will be if it is available. Typically if we bid a big project, we will include permits in our total cost.
Don't panic. Contact your utility company to see if there’s an outage. If you are in Austin, it's Austin Energy. If not, it will be Oncor, PEC, or Bluebonnet.
If the outage is on their end, they are responsible to repair it. If they determine if the problem is after their wires connect to your electric meter, that’s where we come in.
This also applies if “half” or a section of your home has lost power,
or only the larger appliances have stopped working – this is called a
“lost leg,” and it’s a loss of your 240v supply.
Absolutely! Send us the inspection via email and let us know your situation. However there are 2 things to keep in mind:
If the report is not as detailed as we need it to be, we may need to see things in-person.
National Electric Code is updated every 3 years, and inspectors usually reference the
most recent code. So an item that was installed 5 years ago,
but isn’t part of new code, may false-flag as a violation. In many
cases, it’s not, and the installation is “grandfathered.” We know code, so we can tell you.
There are some areas outside of Austin that we will service, such as Round Rock, Pflugerville, Westlake, and Manchaca. Further out areas like Georgetown, Wimberley, Spicewood, Lakeway, Manor, Elgin, Hutto, Taylor, and Cedar Creek/Bastrop, we reserve the right to charge an additional travel charge, which we will disclose before scheduling.
Let us know what you want to add, change, and/or remove. Your price will adjust accordingly. All changes must be in-writing and approved by both us and you before making any changes.
