Electrical Services for Your Home
Most of our work is planned, not rushed. That means panel upgrades before you add an EV charger, surge protection before storm season, and torque and cleans that catch loose connections before they heat up. We also do electrical repair when something stops working, plus lighting installation, remodel and addition wiring, and code corrections after a failed inspection. For backup power we install and service generators and home battery backup systems.
Panel Upgrades
Replace a worn or undersized electrical panel on your schedule, with the permit, inspection and power shutoff planned ahead of time.
Electrical Repair
Dead outlets, tripping breakers and flickering lights traced to the cause and fixed, with a plain list of anything else worth planning for.
Lighting Installation
Recessed lights, ceiling fans, under-cabinet strips and outdoor fixtures, laid out with you before we cut a single hole in the ceiling.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charger installs in your garage or on an outside wall, with a panel load check first so the job and the cost are clear before work starts.
Whole-Home Rewiring
We replace worn-out wiring room by room, with a written plan you can budget around and the permit and inspections handled for you.
Generator Installation
Standby and portable generator hookups with a load calculation, transfer switch, permit and inspection, planned before you need them.
Generator Service & Repair
Maintenance, testing and repair for standby and portable generator setups, so your backup power starts when the lights go out.
Home Battery Backup
We size and install home battery systems around the circuits you actually need in an outage, with the permit, wiring and setup handled for you.
Remodel & Addition Wiring
Circuits, outlets and lighting for kitchens, baths and new rooms, laid out before framing so the electrical part of your project has a clear scope and price.
Code Corrections & Inspection Fixes
We work through the electrical items on an inspection report or correction notice, fix them to code, and get them ready for a recheck.
Surge Protection
A surge protector mounted at your electrical panel, plus a grounding check, to help shield HVAC boards, appliances and electronics from voltage spikes.
Torque & Cleans
We open your panel, tighten every connection to spec, and clear out dust and debris so small problems get caught early.

What Changes the Cost of an Electrical Job
You won't find a price list here, because jobs that sound alike seldom turn out alike. Swapping a panel in an open garage is not the same day as one behind finished drywall. These are the biggest drivers of the final number.
We see the job in person first, then hand you a written estimate broken out line by line before work begins. Want to do it in stages? We'll price each stage on its own.
- How big the job is
- One new circuit doesn't take long. Rewiring a whole house or putting in a new subpanel takes days and more materials.
- Reaching the wiring
- Garages and open attics go fast. Cramped crawl spaces, low attics and finished walls slow things down and sometimes mean patching drywall.
- Existing conditions
- Undersized or aging wiring, a panel with no free spaces, or earlier work done wrong can add steps before the new work begins.
- The equipment you pick
- EV chargers, standby generators and battery systems come in a range of sizes and brands. More capacity means a higher price, and we'll recommend the size that matches how you really use power.
- Permits and the utility
- Plenty of jobs need a permit and inspection. Service and panel changes can also require the utility to cut and restore power, which shapes the schedule.
- When it happens
- Work you plan can be booked at a time that fits both of us. Waiting for a failure often means paying for the repair on top of the upgrade you'd been delaying.

About Forest Hill Electrician
We're a small electrical company that works on homes. Most of our calls start with a homeowner who has a plan, like adding a car charger, finishing a garage or getting ready for summer, and wants to know what it will take.
Texas summers push a home's wiring hard. Air conditioners run for hours, and panels that were fine years ago start running warm. We'd rather catch that on a calm spring visit than on the hottest week of the year. So we give you an honest list, a written price and the room to plan.

Common Questions From Homeowners
Something not covered here? (682) 399-7544
Will you get the permit for my job?
If the work calls for one, yes. New circuits, panel changes, EV chargers, generators and most remodel wiring typically do. We file it and set up the inspection the way your local jurisdiction asks, and the fee appears on your estimate.
How much time does a panel swap need?
We finish most panel swaps in a single workday, and the power stays off for a good part of it. When a new meter base or work with the utility is involved, scheduling can stretch out, and we let you know that before anything is booked.
Can my garage get an EV charger?
In most homes, yes. We start by seeing if the panel has the space and capacity for a new 240-volt circuit. When it does, the job is pretty straightforward. When it doesn't, we lay out the choices, such as upgrading the panel or going with a lower-amp charger.
Why won't my breaker stay on?
The usual suspects are load, damage and age. A circuit may be carrying more than it was meant to, say a microwave and a space heater on the same line. Wire that is nicked or burned somewhere along the run will trip it too, and breakers wear out after enough years. We test the circuit to find which one it is before recommending anything, so you only pay for parts you need.
Can a large project be done in stages?
In many cases, yes. Take a panel upgrade, an EV charger and surge protection. We can typically put in the panel now and add the other two later without undoing anything. Each stage gets its own lines on the estimate, so you can pay for one part at a time.
What's worth a look before summer heat sets in?
The panel comes first. We check for breakers running warm, connections that have worked loose and marks from past overheating, and a torque and clean handles most of it. We also look at the air conditioner circuits and go over surge protection with you. The visit is short and shows you what to budget for.
What does a torque and clean involve?
As metal in your panel warms and cools over the years, connections can work loose, and loose connections get hot. In a torque and clean we tighten each connection to its rated spec and clear out dust and debris. It's an easy way to stop trouble before it starts.
Is your work under warranty?
Yes, we back our work with a 1-year workmanship warranty. If anything we put in or fixed acts up during that first year because of the way we did it, call and we'll come back and make it right. Hang on to your job paperwork so the dates are simple to confirm.
