Z Tex Electrical Services - Austin's Local Electricians

In Austin, this often points to an issue with your main electrical panel or grounding system. We'll first inspect your circuit breakers and whole-house surge protector (if installed) to ensure they're functioning properly. Many older Austin homes have panels that can't handle modern energy demands, leading to surges. We can repair or upgrade your panel and install whole-house surge protection to safeguard your home against future Central Texas storms and grid fluctuations.

Flickering lights are a common warning sign of faulty wiring, especially in hot Austin attics where insulation can degrade wire coatings. Our thorough electrical inspection includes safely examining accessible attic wiring for damage, checking all connections in your panel for overheating, and testing outlets for proper grounding. We'll identify any shorts, overloaded circuits, or outdated wiring (like aluminum) and provide a clear repair plan, which may include wire repair or replacement to prevent a potential fire hazard.

Absolutely. With Austin's severe weather, a standby generator is a smart investment for continuous power. We handle the full installation, which includes assessing your home's electrical load, securing permits, installing a proper transfer switch that safely isolates your home from the grid, and connecting the generator to your main electrical panel. This ensures essential systems like refrigeration, security, and medical equipment stay on during an outage, providing peace of mind for your family.
