Barton Creek Panel Upgrades

In Barton Creek’s beautiful hill country setting, reliable electrical service is the backbone of comfortable living. From powering swamp coolers during scorching Texas summers to supporting energy-hungry EV chargers and smart-home systems, your panel must keep up with modern demands. Yet many Barton Creek homes were built decades ago, with panels nearing capacity or using outdated breakers. Shipley Electric, LLC brings 25+ years of Austin-area expertise to every Barton Creek panel upgrade, delivering safe, code-compliant solutions that stand the test of time.

A Closer Look at Our Panel Upgrade Process

1. Personalized Load Evaluation
   Every project kicks off with a thorough inspection of your existing panel, wiring, and service conductors. Our licensed electricians assess your current and anticipated energy needs—whether it’s adding a workshop, installing solar tie-ins, or charging an electric vehicle. We then recommend the ideal service capacity (100 A to 400 A), helping you plan for today and tomorrow without overspending.
2. Streamlined Permitting & Compliance
   Navigating City of Austin and Travis County permits can stall your project before it even starts. Shipley Electric, LLC handles all applications and scheduling, ensuring full compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local ordinances. We also integrate required arc-fault and ground-fault breakers, surge protection for Barton Creek’s storm-prone environment, and grounding upgrades to protect against voltage spikes.
3. Expert Panel Replacement
   Our skilled team carefully removes your old panel—whether it’s a worn fuse box or an overworked breaker panel—and replaces it with a premium, manufacturer-backed unit. We reroute and neatly label each circuit, upgrade grounding rods if necessary, and install dedicated breakers for high-demand appliances. For commercial properties in Barton Creek, we handle three-phase and higher-amp installations with the same attention to detail.
4. Rigorous Final Inspection & Walkthrough
   After installation, we conduct load tests, voltage checks, and proper trip-function verification under simulated conditions. You’ll receive a full rundown of your new panel’s capabilities, along with documentation of permits, inspection approvals, and maintenance recommendations. Our goal is to leave you fully informed and confident in your home’s electrical safety.

Throughout every phase, we maintain clear communication, respect your property by protecting floors and workspaces, and complete the job on schedule—no surprises, just reliable service.
