Q&A
My AC keeps tripping the breaker in my Austin home. What's usually the cause, and how can you fix it?
This is a very common issue in Austin, especially in older homes. Central air conditioners place a heavy load on your electrical panel. Often, the existing panel or circuit is simply not rated for the modern AC's power demand, leading to overloads and tripped breakers. We can diagnose the specific cause and provide solutions ranging from circuit breaker repair or a dedicated circuit installation to a full electric panel upgrade, ensuring your home stays cool and safe all summer.
My ceiling fan stopped working, and I've checked the pull chain and remote. Could it be a wiring issue?
Absolutely. Ceiling fan wiring failures are a frequent repair call we get in Austin. Over time, the constant vibration from the fan can loosen wire connections in the ceiling box, or the internal switch wiring can fail. Our electricians will safely inspect the fixture and junction box, perform any necessary wire repair or re-termination, and get your fan—and your room's airflow—back in working order efficiently.
I'm considering an EV and a generator for storm season. Can my current electrical panel handle these additions?
It's smart to plan ahead! Adding an electric vehicle charging station and a backup generator are significant electrical upgrades. Most older Austin home panels are not equipped for this combined load. We offer comprehensive electric inspections and panel assessments to evaluate your system's capacity. We can then recommend and perform the necessary electric panel installation or upgrade to safely integrate these new technologies, future-proofing your home's electrical system.
