Point Venture Panel Upgrades

Why a Panel Upgrade Is Crucial for Point Venture Homes

Perched on the north shore of Lake Travis, Point Venture is prized for its waterfront views, vacation rentals, and year-round residences. Yet many homes here still depend on 60- or 100-amp breakers—panels designed for far fewer appliances and devices than today’s families and smart-home systems require. With Texas summers driving air conditioners into overdrive, plus the rise of EV chargers, home offices, and solar installations, outdated panels can lead to nuisance breaker trips, overheating, and even fire risks.

That’s why Shipley Electric, LLC offers professional panel upgrades in Point Venture. As a locally owned Austin, TX electrical contractor with over 25 years of experience, we ensure your home’s electrical service meets modern demands safely and reliably. A properly sized, code-compliant panel upgrade not only eliminates daily inconveniences but also lays the foundation for future home improvements.

Our Proven Panel Upgrade Process

At Shipley Electric, LLC, we manage every step of your Point Venture panel upgrade—from initial planning through final inspection—to deliver a seamless, worry-free experience:

1. On-Site Consultation & Load Calculation
   We begin with a thorough inspection of your existing service entrance and breaker panel. By reviewing your usage patterns (AC, EV charger, appliances, and planned solar), we determine the right amperage upgrade—typically from 100-amp to 200-amp service or higher.

2. Custom System Design
   Based on the load analysis, we design a panel upgrade package that may include adding sub-panels, integrating surge protection, and accommodating renewable energy connections (solar inverters or battery storage).

3. Permitting & Regulatory Compliance
   Navigating Travis County and City of Austin permitting requirements can be complex. We handle all permit applications, schedule inspections, and ensure full compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local ordinances.

4. Professional Installation
   Our licensed electricians perform a safe power shutdown, remove the old panel, and install premium, UL-listed breakers and bus bars. We verify proper grounding and bonding, label each circuit clearly, and tidy all wiring for long-term reliability.

5. Final Inspection & Walkthrough
   After the upgrade, we coordinate with municipal inspectors and conduct a comprehensive walkthrough—explaining panel operation, load-management tips, and simple breaker reset procedures so you feel confident using your new system.

6. Ongoing Support & Maintenance
   Your investment is backed by Shipley Electric’s commitment to customer care. We’re available for future expansions, routine safety checks, and any questions that arise as you enjoy your enhanced electrical capacity.
