San Marcos's trusted source for licensed electrical services — from outlet repairs to full panel upgrades, done right the first time.
Whether it's a simple outlet repair or a complex commercial build-out, our electricians deliver professional results every time.
Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, causing loose connections that overheat and arc. Insurance companies increasingly refuse to cover aluminum-wired homes. Our licensed electricians eliminate the risk permanently.
CO detector placement matters as much as having one. Installed too high, too low, or too far from sources, they may not alarm in time. Our electricians follow manufacturer and code guidelines precisely.
We handle tenant improvements, lighting retrofits, panel upgrades, dedicated equipment circuits, emergency power systems, and code compliance upgrades for commercial and industrial spaces.
EV chargers draw significant power and require proper circuit protection. Our licensed electricians ensure your installation meets NEC code, manufacturer specs, and local requirements.

See who is at your door from anywhere with a professionally installed Ring doorbell. Get reliable motion alerts and crystal-clear video without the DIY frustration.
We plan the new circuit layout, pull permits, run code-compliant copper wiring through your walls and attic, install a new panel if needed, and restore your walls with minimal disruption.
We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.
A properly installed standby generator protects your family, your food supply, and your medical equipment. We pull all permits and ensure code-compliant connections every time.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.
Wireless cameras lose signal and batteries die at the worst time. Hardwired security camera systems installed by our licensed team provide continuous, tamper-resistant surveillance you can rely on day and night.
Power surges destroy electronics, damage appliance control boards, and can even start fires. Our electricians install UL-listed surge protectors with proper grounding to defend your entire electrical system.
Electrical problems often hide behind walls where they quietly worsen. Our licensed electricians follow a systematic diagnostic process to find issues before they become fire hazards or safety threats.
We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.
We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.
We design a custom layout, install a weatherproof transformer, run buried low-voltage cable to each fixture location, and program timers or photocells for effortless automated operation.
Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.
We map out fixture placement for optimal light coverage, cut precise ceiling openings, run new circuits as needed, and install IC-rated housings that are safe for insulated ceilings.
Improve airflow and cut energy costs year-round with a new ceiling fan. Proper installation ensures wobble-free operation and maximum efficiency in every room.
Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.
Smart devices need proper wiring to function reliably. Many older homes lack neutral wires in switch boxes, causing flickering or device failure. Our electricians verify and upgrade wiring so your smart home works right.
We install a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel to the equipment pad, wire the GFCI disconnect within sight of the unit, bond all metal components, and verify ground fault protection.
