Electrical Contractor Cedar Park TX | Call Sonora Electric

Many older electrical panels in Cedar Park homes aren't equipped to handle the demands of modern appliances or the sudden surges that can occur during severe storms. An upgrade to a new, higher-capacity panel from Sonora Electric improves safety by reducing the risk of overload and fire. It also provides a stable foundation for adding critical storm preparedness devices, like a generator transfer switch, ensuring your essential circuits stay on when the power goes out.

Connecting a portable generator directly to your home's wiring without a proper transfer switch—a practice called 'backfeeding'—is extremely dangerous and illegal. It poses a serious electrocution risk to utility workers and can damage your home's electrical system. Our licensed electricians at Sonora Electric safely install a transfer switch, which isolates your home from the grid. This allows your generator to power selected circuits safely and automatically, providing reliable backup power during our frequent local outages without risking lives or property.

Absolutely. Older or outdated wiring is a common cause of flickering lights, tripped breakers, and can be a significant fire hazard, especially when strained during storm-related power fluctuations. Sonora Electric's wire installation and replacement services ensure your home's electrical backbone is up to current safety codes and can handle today's electrical loads. This not only improves daily reliability but also fortifies your home against damage from power surges common during Central Texas thunderstorms, protecting your appliances and electronics.
