DC Electric gives you a firm price before we start, shows up exactly when we say, and leaves your home safer, up to code, and ready for whatever you plug in.
At DC Electric, we treat your home like our own — from a single warm outlet to a full 200-amp service upgrade, our licensed team across Greater Austin handles it with care.
We replace aging, overloaded, or hazard-flagged breaker boxes with clean 200-amp service built for the next 30 years.
Explore 200A panel upgradesWe install Certified SPAN Smart Panels so you can see and control every circuit in your home right from your phone.
Explore SPAN Smart PanelsWe install Certified Tesla Wall Connectors and Level 2 home EV chargers — properly load-calculated, permitted, and built to last.

Explore recessed & chandelier lightingPlumbing tells on itself. Electrical work doesn't. The loose connection, the skipped ground, the thin wire — sealed in the wall, looking just like work done right.
The connection, the grounding, the wire gauge — the things that decide if your home is safe are sealed behind drywall the moment the job is finished.
A bad job and a perfect job look identical from your side of the wall. Nothing flickers. Nothing warns you. It simply works — until the day it doesn't.
Shock hazards don't smoke or spark. A reversed wire, an ungrounded outdoor box, a GFCI installed wrong — they behave exactly like safe work, and give their one warning far too late to use it.
Three things we treat as non-negotiable — and too much of the trade treats as optional.
We believe our people are the friendliest and best trained in the business, and we put them first — because happy employees make happy customers. You'll feel it the moment they arrive.
We believe low-quality equipment or poor workmanship are NEVER a good value. What goes into your walls today is still working in twenty years.
We believe in taking the time to learn exactly what you want, then finishing to the highest standard in the industry. Right the first time — and made right if it ever isn't.
Hiring an electrician isn't a small decision. You're opening your front door and trusting someone with the safety of the place your family lives. So we built DC Electric to earn it the hard way — grounded in rigorous electrical engineering standards and licensed across Texas under TECL #38552. Every job is documented start to finish, photographed behind the cover, and checked against local code — so the work is provable, not just promised.
Every technician we send is background-checked, uniformed, and employed in-house — and every Austin home, couple, and family is unconditionally welcome and respected here (proudly verified LGBTQ+ Friendly & a Transgender Safe Space). Read our 6 Ironclad Guarantees & Home Charter →
Accredited and in good standing with the Better Business Bureau.

These manufacturers stake their reputation on who installs their equipment — so they don't certify lightly. Ours came from passing their standard, and stays only by holding it.
We don't take a rating like this for granted. It's the hard part — the training, the follow-up, the true care and respect for every Austin household — done over and over.
10-year workmanship coverage on every panel upgrade and 5-year coverage on all electrical work — zero loophole-hunting. See written terms.
We're fully licensed and insured — and when a job requires permits, we manage all paperwork and utility coordination and guarantee your work passes inspection.
No drawn-out runaround. Three clear steps from your first call to a home you don't have to think about.
Call or use our online booking system — it takes less than two minutes. We set a clear appointment window that works for your day.
Our lead technician comes out, evaluates the work, and walks you through your options — so you decide with a firm price in front of you, before anything begins.
Once you approve, we assign the crew and take care of the work — done right, documented, and warrantied — so it's one thing you never have to think about again.
Every promise backed in writing — plus a free tool to check urgent hazards vs. $0 utility-side outages.
10-yr panel & 5-yr electrical warranties. If our installation ever falls short, we make it right — no loopholes, no argument.
A firm price, not an estimate. You approve the exact flat-rate cost before any work begins.
On time—or your visit fee is waived. If we miss the agreed arrival window, we waive the visit/evaluation fee. Approved repair or installation work is priced separately.

Homes ask more of their electrical systems every year — more devices, more power, more strain. We don't size your panel for the house you have today. We size it for the one you'll have thirty years from now — so you upgrade once, and never think about it again.

Being invited into your home is a privilege we never take for granted. Every story below comes straight from a Greater Austin homeowner we’ve served — with the work we did and the DC Electric crew who showed up.
“The DC Electric team was phenomenal! They came out and replaced a tricky inset panel in one day. Rodney, Anthony, Andrew, Rico were professional, quick, and filled us with confidence that they could get the job done. They worked with Austin Energy to get permits approved and finish the inspection in record time. We are beyond impressed with their excellent work! This was no easy job.”
“Nick came out for the quote — kind and thorough, and helped me think through all the work. Install day was flawless: the crew put in a car charger, 16 can lights, and two new circuits, and insisted on making it perfect. They are not the cheapest electricians in town, but you absolutely get what you pay for.”
“I purchased a 1951 home with multiple electrical issues on the inspection. Every deficiency was addressed — and they told me which components did not need updating. A storm rolled in while I was away and the techs closed all my windows. I came home to a dry house.”
“I needed to replace my panel, and add outlets to the bathroom and garage. Pete was helpful in getting my estimate. Max and Rico did a great job with the installation. Everyone was very friendly. The pricing was straightforward and fair. They had me scheduled fairly quickly and finished the job quickly.”
“They showed up right on time and worked nonstop in the heat, provided a generator so we had power while they worked, answered every question, explained everything, and cleaned up before leaving. I’ll definitely use them again.”
“Big thank you to Rodney, Max and Pete from DC Electric who helped us install new recessed lights in our kitchen. They were on time, super helpful working out what would work best, did a good quality install and clean up and were very friendly and easy to work with. Will definitely use again!”
“We got multiple bids to restore power to our garage unit, and the team at DC were the easy choice. Scheduling was easy, communication was consistent, and most importantly, they took care of everything thoroughly — complete on time, with no surprises.”
“Fast, efficient, clean, and extremely knowledgeable about the hardware and setup. Ed and the crew walked me through the whole system and I’ve spent hours playing with my new SPAN setup!”
“Andrew and Jonathan did an amazing job installing our EV charger. They walked us through the setup, stayed true to the quote, and left the garage cleaner than they found it.”
“Rico, Rodney and Nathan were professionals with my charger install. Explained every step of the process to me, informed me of every step during the install, and walked me through final install and operation. Left a clean work space, and their final work looked very clean. Highly recommend!”
Real DC Electric installs across Greater Austin — no stock photos, no staging.
At DC Electric, we built our Austin electrical company (TECL #38552) on a few simple, deeply held beliefs: that electrical work should be crafted with pride inside the wall where no one will ever look, that you deserve the honest recommendation your home actually needs — never a sales pitch — and that what we build for your family today should still be safe decades from now. When our trucks roll out each morning from our Central Austin shop at 3906 N Lamar Blvd (78756), we bring that care to every 200-amp electrical panel upgrade, Certified SPAN Smart Panel installation, Level 2 home EV charger installation, Certified Tesla Wall Connector install, urgent electrical troubleshooting and repair, and recessed lighting & chandelier installation we touch.
We love Austin homes in all their seasons — from 1920s Hyde Park and Tarrytown bungalows to growing family neighborhoods across the Hill Country and the North Corridor. Whether we are performing older 1920s–1970s Central Austin home rewiring, installing dynamic EV charger load management on 100-amp panels, tracking down flickering lights or a warm, burning-smell outlet, or serving our neighbors in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, West Lake Hills, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Pflugerville, Buda, and Dripping Springs, we handle every city permit and every utility step with Austin Energy, Oncor, PEC, Georgetown Electric, and Bluebonnet for you.
