Electrical Panel Upgrades in Katy, TX

A breaker that trips is doing its job. A breaker that trips every time the dryer and the microwave run together is telling you the panel behind it is out of room. We replace and upgrade electrical pan

Breakers tripping, and what it usually means

Most of the calls we take out here fall into three groups.

The panel is full. Every slot is used, somebody has already doubled up on tandems, and the next thing you want to add has nowhere to go.

The service is too small for the house it is now. A lot of Katy houses were wired for the load they had on the day they were finished. Since then somebody added a pool heater, a second AC, a shop out back, a hot tub, and now an EV charger. The panel did not grow.

Something is actually wrong. A breaker that trips with nothing unusual running, a panel that is warm to the touch, a burning smell, scorching at a breaker, or a brand of panel with a known failure history. That one is not a scheduling problem.

A warm panel or a burning smell is not a Monday job

If you can smell burning at the panel, or a breaker is hot, turn off what you can and call us. Our service department runs 24 hours and Katy is inside the area we cover at night.

Three counties, three permit offices

This is the part people outside Katy get wrong. Katy sits across Harris, Fort Bend and Waller counties, and which one your house is in decides where the permit goes and who inspects it. Add the City of Katy itself and the MUD districts, and the address matters more than the zip code.

We pull the permit, we deal with the right office, and we coordinate the CenterPoint disconnect and reconnect when the meter has to come off. A panel swap means the power is out for a chunk of the day — we tell you which day and roughly how long before we start, not after.

Adding a charger, a battery or a pool?

Do the load calculation before you buy the equipment. It is the cheapest step in the whole job and it is the one that decides whether the rest of it is simple.
