Spanish Oaks Panel Upgrades

When your home’s electrical panel can’t keep pace with modern demands—thanks to high-powered appliances, EV chargers, and smart home systems—it’s more than an inconvenience; it’s a safety hazard. In Spanish Oaks and across Austin, Texas, aging infrastructure combined with rapid neighborhood growth and intense summer heat can push outdated panels past their limits. Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and limited capacity not only disrupt daily life but also pose fire risks. For homeowners and small businesses in Spanish Oaks, investing in professional panel upgrades is the key to reliable power, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. Shipley Electric, LLC brings over 25 years of residential and commercial expertise to each project, ensuring your panel replacement is seamless, code-compliant, and built for the long haul.

Detailed Overview of Services

At Shipley Electric, LLC, our panel upgrade process is transparent and customer-focused:

1. Thorough Consultation & Load Calculation

• We conduct a detailed on-site evaluation of your existing panel, wiring, and overall electrical load.

• Our licensed electricians calculate your home’s current and future power needs—factoring in additions like EV chargers, home offices, or upgraded HVAC systems—to recommend the right amperage (100A, 200A, or higher).

2. Permitting & Code Compliance

• Navigating Austin’s permitting process can be daunting. We manage all permit applications and inspections with the City of Austin and Travis County, ensuring your upgrade meets the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations.

• You’ll receive a clear, itemized estimate upfront—no surprise fees or hidden costs—so you can budget with confidence.

3. Expert Panel Replacement & Installation

• We remove your outdated breaker box or fuse panel and install high-capacity, UL-listed panels from trusted manufacturers such as Square D, Eaton, and Siemens.

• Upgraded breakers, bus bars, and grounding systems use energy-efficient components designed to perform under Texas heat and high-demand conditions.

4. Comprehensive Testing & Final Inspection

• After installation, we run rigorous safety tests—voltage balance, grounding resistance, and breaker operation—to confirm everything is working flawlessly.

• Shipley Electric schedules and oversees the final municipal inspection, so you don’t have to chase down city approvals.

5. Ongoing Support & Warranty

• We back our workmanship with industry-leading warranties and remain available for future maintenance, troubleshooting, or additional upgrades.
