Zilker Panel Upgrades

1. Localized, Engaging Introduction
As Austin’s growth shows no signs of slowing, neighborhoods like Zilker—home to charming bungalows and bustling local businesses—face a common challenge: aging electrical panels struggling under modern demands. Between soaring Texas temperatures, power-hungry appliances, and the rise of EV charger installations, outdated service panels can lead to tripped breakers, flickering lights, and even safety hazards. That’s why electrical panel upgrades are more than a luxury; they’re a necessity for homeowners and business owners alike. At Shipley Electric, LLC, we combine 25+ years of local expertise with a commitment to your safety and energy efficiency. When you need reliable panel upgrades in Zilker or anywhere in Austin, trust our licensed electricians to deliver long-term peace of mind.
2. Detailed Overview of Services
From your initial call to our final inspection, Shipley Electric, LLC takes a hands-on, transparent approach:
- Consultation & Assessment
We begin with a thorough on-site evaluation of your existing panel—whether it’s a 60-amp fuse box in a vintage bungalow or a 100-amp breaker panel in a commercial storefront. Our electricians explain exactly what’s outdated, what’s at risk, and how a modern panel upgrade can improve capacity and safety. - Permitting & Project Planning
Navigating Austin’s permitting process is our responsibility. We secure all necessary permits, design the upgrade plan tailored to your property’s load requirements, and provide a clear timeline and estimate—no surprises, just honest communication. - Professional Installation
Whether you’re upgrading to a 200-amp service to support home additions, installing dedicated circuits for EV chargers, or adding surge protection to safeguard sensitive electronics, we use only premium materials—copper bus bars, UL-listed breakers, and high-quality wiring. Every upgrade meets National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and local Austin amendments. - Inspection & Testing
After installation, we perform comprehensive testing with digital multimeters and infrared cameras to verify load balance, proper grounding, and temperature stability. Once you’re satisfied, we coordinate the final city inspection, ensuring your upgraded panel is fully compliant and ready for years of reliable service.
This methodical process—backed by our customer-first philosophy—ensures every panel upgrade is efficient, code-compliant, and built to last.
