Spicewood Panel Upgrades

In the serene hills of Spicewood and throughout greater Austin, a reliable electrical panel is more than convenience—it’s a cornerstone of safety and comfort. Blistering Texas summers tax aging systems, while older homes in hill country subdivisions may struggle to meet modern power demands. Whether you’re installing a high-capacity EV charger, adding circuits for a home office, or replacing an outdated fuse box, professional panel upgrades are essential to prevent breaker trips, reduce fire risk, and ensure long-term reliability. Shipley Electric, LLC brings over 25 years of experience and local insight to every Spicewood panel upgrade, keeping your home or business powered and protected.

Our Panel Upgrade Process

1. Personalized Consultation & Assessment

Every project begins with a thorough on-site evaluation. We take time to understand your needs—whether that’s supporting a spa pump, adding dedicated kitchen circuits, or future-proofing for solar integration. During our consultation, our licensed electrician inspects your existing panel, gauges overall load capacity, and identifies any code violations or safety hazards. We then present clear options and transparent pricing, so you know exactly what to expect.

2. Permit Procurement & Code Compliance

Navigating Travis County’s permit requirements and the National Electrical Code (NEC) can be daunting. Shipley Electric handles every step—from pulling permits and scheduling city inspections to ensuring full compliance with local regulations. Our proactive approach minimizes project delays, protects your property value, and guarantees that your upgraded panel meets or exceeds all safety standards.

3. Premium Panel Installation

Using only top-tier materials and industry-leading practices, our team executes each upgrade with precision:

• Fuse-to-Breaker Conversions: Swap out obsolete fuse boxes for modern circuit-breaker panels that are safer, easier to reset, and offer greater protection.

• Service Capacity Increases: Boost your service from 100A to 200A or higher to accommodate EV chargers, HVAC upgrades, pool pumps, or planned home additions.

• Subpanel Additions: Install subpanels in workshops, detached garages, or bonus rooms to balance loads and free up space in the main panel.

• Smart Load Centers: Integrate smart panels that monitor energy usage in real time, send alerts, and let you control circuits remotely via smartphone.

Throughout installation, our electricians label breakers clearly, secure wiring neatly, and meticulously test each circuit for voltage balance, proper grounding, and reliable operation.

4. Final Inspection & Customer Walkthrough

Once the upgrade is complete, we conduct a comprehensive testing phase and finalize any city-required inspections. Our electrician then walks you through the new panel, explaining its features, safety devices, and recommended maintenance practices. Should you have questions or require future adjustments, our friendly support team remains just a phone call away.
