"Dani is one of the best contractors I have utilized. He is knowledgeable in the vast area of electrical, lighting and other electronic products. He installed several digital video and lighting equipment throughout our home. In addition, upgrading light fixtures and outdated electrical wall plugs. What I appreciated the most is he took to the time to educate me on the solutions and repairs he provided. If your looking for a professional and electrician I recommend DC Electrical Services! Would definitely used again in the future!"

"I used Empwr for a mid size remodel project including electrical and HVAC. Eugene and his team worked fast, were very responsive and had competitive pricing. The estimate was detailed so there was no guessing at what was and was not included in the price. Everyone had a positive attitude even when the scope of work changed or was more difficult than we first thought."

"The Pro evaluated the electrical system and determined that it did not need replacing. He manually corrected some wires that were not connected properly. He was very thorough and gave an estimate if the system failed in the future. There was no charge for this visit."

"Ken and his team rewired a studs up remodel in downtown Austin during Covid for us. They were flexible, competent and actually showed when they said they would. They even responded to random texts answering questions and taking on more work we had to force them to take money for...seriously he's amazing. In addition to a new panel, removing all old wiring and installing new wiring for the complete house, Ken ran lines and installed 12 POE cameras, ran fiber to an exterior junction, installed networked smoke/CO2 detectors, and installed about 20 pot lights in the ceilings. The house being from the 1950's and having random "quirks" with pinned down old wiring didn't bother Ken or his apprentice and I found them at the house a couple of Sundays making sure they got the work done. Seriously, it's almost like I want to tell random people at the coffee shop "hey you need an electrician? I know this company 'Morningstar Electric.....""

"I called Mr. Electric about a breaker that kept tripping.  Although it was not a critical situation, they said they'd have someone there by 3:30 PM (it was about 2:55 PM).  Robert arrived at my door at 3:25 PM.  He was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional.  He listened to my description of the problem and quickly noticed that the breaker switch was not working properly and that both that breaker and the one next to it (both double circuit breakers) were VERY hot.  Following his advice, I agreed that he should replace both breakers since he had the parts in the truck. He quickly replaced the breakers, taking care to align two of the circuits that power the two phases of my 220 V pool pump on adjacent switches which he ganged together with a carefully crafted piece of wire. He then checked the voltage on the two pool pump leads to ensure that they got the proper power and then checked that the pump was operating properly.  I also confirmed that the house circuit that was the original problem was now working properly (which it was).  While I was inside doing the check, he was doing a quick check outside and noticed that the power feed from the utility pole had been ripped out of the mount on the house and was hanging there courtesy of the anchor that
also secured the telephone line (not a good thing).  This had probably been the situation for some time, since it was three or four months ago that a tree limb had broken off and must have hit the line on the way down, pulling it out of its moorings. I had cleaned up the fallen branch, but did not notice the damage to the power feed.  It's lucky for me that Robert did.  I had him re-anchor the line to the house, which he did quickly.  He seemed to know just what to do, and that, or course, is why you hire a professional for these things.
All in all Robert finished up all the tasks in a few minutes more than an hour. I was able to pay by credit card which he processed from his cell phone using a plug in device from Square technology. Since I had an Angie's List coupon I got 10% off the bill plus he allowed an additional 10% since I am a Senior citizen.  Yes, I'm glad I don't often have to spend $250 in an hour, but I'm also glad that I called Mr. Electric.  Sometimes it is just worth it.

"I had a few GFIC wiring out at my house while I was remodeling. I can do a few things around the house, but I do not want to mess with electricity. I contacted JGE and he came out and gave me a free estimate and was back within a few days. He replaced the wiring and got him to replace all the outlet covers while he was here. Everything is working fine. JGE is easy to work with, did good clean work. And theyâ re insured."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Austin, TX

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
