West Lake Hills Panel Upgrades

In upscale West Lake Hills and throughout the Austin area, a dependable electrical system is essential for comfort, safety, and modern living. Blistering Texas summers and historic Hill Country homes put extra demands on outdated panels, leading to tripped breakers, flickering lights, and even fire hazards. Whether you’re powering a high-end EV charger, adding a new kitchen circuit, or replacing an aging fuse box, professional panel upgrades can transform your home’s performance. At Shipley Electric, LLC, we specialize in West Lake Hills panel upgrades, combining local expertise with over 25 years of experience to deliver safe, efficient, and future-ready electrical solutions.

Our West Lake Hills Panel Upgrade Process

1. Personalized Consultation & Assessment

Your upgrade begins with a one-on-one site visit. Our licensed electrician listens to your needs—whether it’s boosting capacity for a spa pump, installing dedicated circuits for smart-home devices, or preventing nuisance breaker trips. We evaluate your existing panel, review load calculations, and discuss your goals, then provide transparent pricing and a detailed plan tailored to your home’s architecture.

2. Permitting & Code Compliance

Austin’s building codes and permit requirements can be complex. Shipley Electric handles every aspect of the permitting process—from pull requests to final inspections—ensuring your panel upgrade meets the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations. This seamless approach protects your investment, simplifies scheduling, and prevents unexpected compliance issues.

3. Premium Panel Installation

Using top-quality materials and industry-best practices, we perform:

• Fuse-to-Breaker Conversions: Replace outdated fuse panels with reliable circuit-breaker systems that are safer and easier to reset.

• Service Capacity Increases: Upgrade from 100A to 200A (or higher) to support EV chargers, HVAC upgrades, hot tubs, or home expansions.

• Subpanel Additions: Install subpanels in detached garages, workshops, or bonus rooms to optimize load distribution and free up space in your main panel.

• Smart Panel Integration: Offer smart load centers that track energy usage, send real-time alerts, and allow remote circuit control via smartphone apps.

Throughout installation, our team labels each breaker clearly, secures wiring neatly, and tests every circuit to guarantee peak performance.

4. Thorough Testing & Customer Walkthrough

After installation, we conduct comprehensive testing—verifying voltage stability, proper grounding, and balanced loads. Our electrician then guides you through the upgraded panel’s features, explains any new safety devices, and shares maintenance tips to maximize longevity. If you ever need adjustments or have questions, our friendly support team is just a call away.
