If you live in Cedar Park and your home was built before 2005, there’s a good chance your electrical panel is struggling. Older panels weren’t built for today’s life — EV chargers, home offices, smart devices, and two HVAC units all running at once.
We’ve worked on panels all across Cedar Park — from Buttercup Creek to Twin Creeks to neighborhoods off Lakeline. We know what these homes need, and we know how to fix it right.
Here’s what we handle:
- Electrical panel replacements
- Breaker upgrades
- Fuse box swaps
- Service upgrades
- Panel inspections
Every job is permitted, inspected, and done by a licensed electrician. You’ll know what to expect before we start — no surprises.
Electrical Panel Replacement in Cedar Park, TX
We’ve opened a lot of panels in Cedar Park. Some had burn marks. Some had breakers that hadn’t tripped properly in years — they just let too much power through. That’s the kind of thing that causes house fires.
You probably need a panel replacement if:
- Your panel is more than 20 years old
- A home inspector or insurance company flagged it
- You’re selling or remodeling your home
- Your breakers trip often under normal use
Here’s what the job looks like:
| Step | What Happens |
| Old panel removed | We take out every breaker and connection |
| New panel installed | Sized and rated for your home’s actual needs |
| Everything updated to code | No shortcuts, no skipped steps |
| Permitted and inspected | City signs off before we call it done |
A lot of Cedar Park homes — especially in Buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks — were built in the 1990s and early 2000s. Those panels are now 20 to 30 years old. In our experience, that’s right around the time things start to go wrong.
Electrical Service Upgrade (100 to 200 Amp) in Cedar Park, TX
Cedar Park has changed a lot. More people work from home. More families have EVs. More homes have two HVAC zones. A 100-amp service just can’t keep up.
You likely need a service upgrade if:
- You’re installing an EV charger
- You’re adding a pool or hot tub
- You’re building out a home office
- You’re adding a second HVAC unit
- Your panel trips under normal everyday use
Here’s what a 200-amp upgrade involves:
| Component | What We Upgrade |
| Utility feed | The line coming from the street |
| Meter base | Updated to match new service size |
| Main panel | Replaced with a 200-amp rated panel |
| Breakers | All updated to match new capacity |
Cedar Park has one of the highest EV ownership rates in all of Williamson County. We’ve done a lot of these upgrades specifically because someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian and realized their garage outlet wasn’t going to cut it. A 200-amp upgrade is almost always the first step before installing a Level 2 charger. We can assess both in one visit and get it done together.
Circuit Breaker Replacement in Cedar Park, TX
We hear this a lot from Cedar Park homeowners: “The breaker in my garage keeps tripping every time I plug in the air compressor.” Or: “The breaker in my master bedroom is warm when I touch it.” Those are real warning signs.
Signs you need a breaker replaced:
- It trips over and over and won’t stay reset
- It feels warm or hot to the touch
- It’s making a buzzing or crackling sound
- You’re adding a new appliance or circuit and need proper capacity
What we do:
- Pull the bad breaker out
- Install a properly rated replacement
- Check the surrounding breakers while we’re in there
- Flag anything else that looks off before we leave
In north Cedar Park near Lakeline, a lot of homes were built around the same time with the same builder-grade panels. After 15 to 20 years, those breakers start failing. If one goes, others are usually not far behind. We’ll always give you an honest read on what we see.
Main Breaker Replacement in Cedar Park, TX
We’ve shown up to Cedar Park homes where the main breaker had visible burn marks on it. The homeowner had no idea. They just thought the lights were flickering because of the storm.
Signs your main breaker may need replacement:
- It trips under normal load — not just when something big kicks on
- You see burn marks, scorch marks, or black discoloration
- It feels hot to the touch even when nothing unusual is running
- It won’t hold reset after tripping
The main breaker is the gateway for all power entering your home. When it’s failing, your whole electrical system is at risk — not just one room or one circuit.
Texas summers are hard on main breakers. Cedar Park’s AC season runs hard from May through September. That sustained heat and heavy load is exactly when main breakers give out. Texas has also seen growing pressure on the power grid during extreme weather — another reason your home’s electrical foundation needs to be solid.

If your main breaker is struggling, call us before it fails completely. This is not a wait-and-see situation.
Fuse Box Replacement in Cedar Park, TX
Fuse boxes were standard in homes built before 1975. They worked fine for the electrical loads of that era. But they were never designed for today’s appliances, and most insurance carriers now view them as a liability.
You likely need a fuse box replacement if:
- Your home was built before 1975
- Your insurance company flagged it during a review
- You’re buying or selling a home, and it came up in the inspection
- You keep blowing fuses instead of just resetting a breaker
Here’s what changes when we replace a fuse box:
| Old System | New System |
| Fuse box with screw-in fuses | Modern breaker panel |
| Ungrounded circuits | Grounded circuits throughout |
| No GFCI protection | Code-compliant connections |
| Insurance liability | Insurer-approved setup |
Some homes in the Liberty Hill and Leander corridors just outside Cedar Park still have original fuse-based systems. If you’re in one of those homes — whether you’ve lived there 20 years or just moved in — we can replace the whole thing and bring it up to current code.
Breaker Box Upgrade in Cedar Park, TX
Cedar Park has been one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas for years. Homeowners are adding rooms, finishing garages, building out backyard structures, and upgrading kitchens. All of that takes circuits. And a lot of older boxes simply don’t have room.
You need a breaker box upgrade if:
- Your box is full — no open slots for new circuits
- A home inspector found double-tapped breakers
- You’re adding a room, garage, or accessory dwelling unit
- You’re planning any kind of remodel that adds new appliances
What “double-tapped” means in plain terms: two wires are connected to one breaker that was only designed for one. It’s a code violation and a fire risk. We see it often in Cedar Park homes that have had work done over the years without a full panel upgrade.
Here’s what an upgrade gives you:
- More slots for new circuits
- All double-taps corrected
- A panel sized for what your home actually needs now
- Permitted and inspected by the city
Cedar Park’s growth isn’t slowing down. If your home has plans, your breaker box needs to keep up.
Electrical Panel Inspection in Cedar Park, TX
We recommend a panel inspection any time one of these applies to you:
- You’re buying or selling a home in Cedar Park
- You just moved in and don’t know the history of the electrical system
- Your panel hasn’t been looked at in more than 10 years
- Your home took storm damage — even if the lights came back on fine
Here’s what we check during an inspection:
| What We Look At | What We’re Looking For |
| Every breaker | Tripping issues, age, proper rating |
| Bus bars and connections | Corrosion, loose connections |
| Panel interior | Burn marks, heat damage, moisture |
| Wiring | Double-taps, improper gauge, code violations |
| Overall condition | End-of-life signs, manufacturer recalls |
After the inspection, you get a written summary of everything we found — in plain language, not electrical jargon. If something needs to be fixed, we’ll tell you what it is, why it matters, and what your options are. No pressure. Just the facts.
Cedar Park’s real estate market moves fast. We’ve had homeowners call us the week before closing because the buyer’s inspector flagged the panel. A pre-listing inspection puts you ahead of that. It’s one of the lowest-cost steps you can take to protect a transaction worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
