Hyde Park Panel Upgrades

In the heart of Hyde Park and across Austin’s eclectic neighborhoods, reliable electrical service isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Sweltering Texas summers put heavy strain on aging electrical panels, while rapid growth and historic homes demand systems built for modern life. Whether you’re installing a high-capacity EV charger, adding a new kitchen circuit, or simply replacing an outdated fuse box, professional panel upgrades can improve safety, boost efficiency, and prevent costly outages. At Shipley Electric, LLC, our licensed electricians bring over 25 years of experience to every Hyde Park panel upgrade, ensuring your home or business runs smoothly and securely.

Our Panel Upgrade Process

1. Consultation & Assessment

Your project begins with a detailed on-site evaluation. We listen to your goals—whether that’s adding dedicated circuits for new appliances, preventing breaker trips, or future-proofing for smart-home technology. Our team inspects your existing electrical panel, wiring, and load requirements, then provides clear recommendations tailored to your budget and lifestyle.

2. Permitting & Compliance

Navigating Austin’s electrical codes can be overwhelming. Shipley Electric handles all permit applications, scheduling, and city inspections on your behalf. We ensure full compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations, protecting your property value and giving you peace of mind.

3. Quality Panel Installation

We partner with top-tier manufacturers and use premium components for every upgrade. Our services include:

• Fuse-to-Breaker Conversions: Replace obsolete fuse boxes with modern circuit-breaker panels for improved reliability and easier troubleshooting.

• Capacity Increases: Upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp (or higher) service panels to accommodate EV chargers, HVAC upgrades, or home additions.

• Subpanel Additions: Install subpanels in garages, workshops, or finished basements to distribute power where you need it most.

• Smart Panel Solutions: Integrate smart load centers that monitor energy use, send alerts, and allow remote control of circuits.

Our electricians work efficiently to minimize disruption, carefully labeling each breaker and testing every circuit before completion.

4. Final Inspection & Follow-Up

After installation, we conduct a comprehensive testing phase—verifying voltage balance, grounding integrity, and proper breaker operation. You’ll receive a walkthrough of your new panel’s features, along with maintenance tips to extend its lifespan. If you ever have questions or need future adjustments, our team is just a call away.
