Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system. If you live in an older Austin home, your current panel might be struggling to keep up with the demands of modern appliances, HVAC systems, smart home devices, and EV chargers.
Worse yet, outdated panels or obsolete wiring can pose a severe fire hazard. At Light On Electric Contractors LLC, we specialize in safely upgrading electrical services to meet today’s National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, giving you reliable power and ultimate peace of mind.
More power for your modern life. We upgrade older 100-amp panels to robust 200-amp or 400-amp systems.
Eliminate hidden fire hazards. Several panel brands installed in the 1970s and 1980s have been recalled or proven dangerous because their breakers fail to trip during an overload.
Bring historic homes into the 21st century. Older homes in Central Austin often feature outdated and unsafe wiring methods.
