"Danny was absolutely wonderful in explaining the work to be done to the house, as well as what I needed (and didn't need). Even with a few snags along the way that were not his fault, he was adaptive and ensured the work was completed, even staying late/coming an extra day to ensure everything was done correctly and with high quality. As an added service, he even rewired our Ring doorbell to be wired more efficiently than our old setup, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Danny for any electrical work you need, and will absolutely hire him again in the future."

"FIVE STARS!! EMPWR is awesome please bring them your business. Eugene The owner just saved us so much money! Single mom here on a budget. My electricity went out and I tried to do my do diligence by checking the breaker but I missed something. The owner was kind enough to face time with me and saw the issue. He explained what I missed and then we had lights. Please call them for all your electrical needs. This was the most helpful honest company I've ever encountered."

"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.

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

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
