Electrical Work We Do in San Marcos
From a dead outlet to a whole-home rewire, here is the residential electrical we handle across San Marcos.
Panels, Circuits, and Wiring
Panel upgrades, Federal Pacific and Zinsco replacement, new dedicated circuits, and rewiring older San Marcos homes with aluminum or cloth-wrapped wiring. All to NEC 2023 code, all permitted.
EV Chargers and Big Loads
Level 2 EV charger installs on a proper dedicated circuit, plus the panel capacity to support a pool, a shop, or a hot tub. We check the load instead of just landing a breaker.
Surge Protection and Safety
Whole-home surge protection — genuinely worth it on the ERCOT grid — plus hardwired, interconnected smoke and CO detectors and the GFCI and AFCI corrections that bring older homes up to current code.
The Crossover Advantage
A failing AC tied into old wiring, a charger that needs a panel upgrade, a generator that has to carry the condenser — these are the jobs where one company licensed for both trades saves you a second visit and a second invoice.
Why San Marcos Homes in Particular
The San Marcos and Blanco rivers keep the humidity up, and a tight house and a leaky house both struggle with it in their own way. Whole-house dehumidifiers, duct sealing, and UV lights in the air handler keep the mugginess and the mold pressure down. The river is the reason people move here. It does not have to live in your hallway closet.
