An electrical panel is the distribution center for your entire property. Older homes and businesses in El Paso often have 100-amp panels or outdated fuse boxes that cannot keep up with modern loads. A panel upgrade replaces the main service panel and breaker assembly with a higher-capacity unit sized to your actual demand.
Why it matters
Undersized or aging panels are a leading cause of tripped breakers, flickering lights, and electrical fires. Upgrading improves capacity, safety, and resale value.
What to know beforehand
Before the job, we calculate your total connected load and future expansion needs so the new panel is sized correctly the first time. Expect a brief power outage while the panel is swapped and inspected.
Wiring carries power from the panel to every outlet, switch, and fixture on the property. Rewiring involves replacing degraded, aluminum, or non-grounded wiring with modern copper NM or conduit runs that meet current code.
Why it matters
Old or damaged wiring is a serious fire hazard and cannot safely support today's appliances and electronics. Rewiring restores reliable, grounded power throughout the building.
What to know beforehand
Rewiring can require opening walls. We will walk you through which circuits are affected, how access will be managed, and what to expect for cleanup so there are no surprises.
Adding a new circuit means running dedicated wiring from the panel to serve a specific load, such as a microwave, air conditioner, EV charger, or workshop equipment. Each circuit is sized with the right wire gauge and breaker for its intended use.
Why it matters
Dedicated circuits prevent overloading shared lines, reduce nuisance trips, and protect sensitive equipment. They are often required by code for high-draw appliances.
What to know beforehand
Tell us what the circuit will power and its amperage needs. We will confirm the panel has available capacity and the correct breaker slot before running any wire.
Lighting work covers recessed can lighting, fixture replacement, ceiling fans, exterior security lighting, and commercial fixture installs. It includes safe mounting, correct box support, and proper switch wiring.
Why it matters
Properly installed lighting improves safety, energy efficiency, and comfort. Poorly supported fixtures or overloaded switches are common sources of failure and hazard.
What to know beforehand
For ceiling fans and heavy fixtures, confirm the existing box is fan-rated. We will check support and wiring condition before installing so the fixture is safe and code-compliant.
An EV charger install adds a dedicated Level 2 charging station wired to your panel, usually on a 40- or 50-amp circuit. It may involve a new breaker, wiring run, and a wall-mounted station.
Why it matters
Level 2 charging is far faster than a standard outlet and requires a properly rated circuit to charge safely without overheating. Dedicated installation protects your vehicle and your electrical system.
What to know beforehand
Have your charger location and panel location ready. If the panel is far from the parking spot, we will explain the wiring route and any trenching or surface conduit involved.
A generator hookup connects a standby or portable generator to your electrical system through a transfer switch, allowing safe backup power during outages without back-feeding the grid.
Why it matters
A transfer switch is essential for safety. It prevents dangerous back-feed onto utility lines and lets you power selected circuits or the whole panel during an outage.
What to know beforehand
Decide whether you want a manual transfer switch for a portable unit or an automatic switch for a standby generator. We will size the connection to the generator output and your essential loads.
Code Compliance Corrections
Code compliance work corrects wiring, panels, or installations that do not meet the current National Electrical Code (NEC) or local El Paso requirements. This often follows an inspection, a sale, or a discovered hazard.
Why it matters
Non-compliant work can fail inspection, void insurance, and create safety risks. Bringing it up to code protects your property and the people in it.
What to know beforehand
Bring any inspection report or violation notice you have. We will explain what does not meet code, what the correction involves, and prioritise any immediate safety hazards first.
This covers adding, replacing, or repairing receptacles and switches, including GFCI and AFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor locations where code requires it.
Why it matters
GFCI and AFCI devices prevent shocks and electrical fires in high-risk areas. Worn outlets and switches also cause flickering, intermittent power, and heat damage over time.
What to know beforehand
Note any outlets that are loose, discoloured, or not holding a plug. We will test for proper grounding and protection and bring receptacles up to current code where required.
