J And L Electric and construction - Cedar Hill's Qualified Electrical Contractor

This is a common issue in our area, often caused by an older or overloaded electrical panel struggling with the high startup load of a modern AC unit. We can perform an electric inspection to assess your system. The solution typically involves circuit breaker repair, a panel upgrade to a higher amperage, or installing a dedicated circuit to handle the AC's demand, preventing future trips and protecting your appliances.

Absolutely. Power surges are a frequent concern in Cedar Hill. We recommend and install whole-house surge protection devices at your main electric panel. This is a more comprehensive solution than power strips, as it guards your entire electrical system at the point of entry. We can also perform an electric panel installation or upgrade to ensure it can properly integrate this critical protection for all your home's circuits and electronics.

For any new room addition, garage remodeling, or ADU construction in Cedar Hill, it's crucial to plan the electrical system from the start. We provide construction design services to ensure your new space has sufficient, properly placed outlets, dedicated circuits for major appliances, and adequate lighting. We'll also assess if your existing electric panel has the capacity for the added load or if an electric panel installation or upgrade is needed to safely power your expanded home.
