  • Repair an Electrical Panel in Austin

    We repair electrical panel problems in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown and Leander: text us a photo of your panel or call, and we will tell you whether it needs a repair or a replacement.

    What happens when you call us

    Our own electricians, not subcontractors, come out and look at the panel. The troubleshooting visit is $149, and that fee is credited to the repair if you go ahead. Before any work starts, we confirm a fixed price on site, so the invoice holds no surprises.

    Signs your panel needs attention

    • Breakers trip when several appliances run at once
    • Dead outlets or flickering lights
    • You have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel
    • Your home insurance asks for a replacement
    • You are adding an EV charger, heat pump or hot tub and the load calculation shows no room

    Please leave the panel cover on. The inside of a panel stays live even with a breaker off, so this is work for an electrician.

    Repair or replace?

    Sometimes a single breaker or a faulty circuit is the problem and a repair is enough. Other times, such as an old Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, or a panel with no spare capacity, replacement makes more sense. We will say which one applies to your home after the visit, and the price is fixed before we begin.

    What it costs

    Service Typical price
    Troubleshooting visit $149, credited to the repair
