Smarter whole-home power for Dripping Springs acreage & estates.
Across Rim Rock, Sawyer Ranch, Highpointe, Belterra, Caliterra, and Headwaters, Certified SPAN Smart Panels balance well pumps, workshops, pools, and dual EVs on 200A PEC services — while stretching solar battery backup when Hill Country storms roll through.
Balance wells, workshops, pools, and dual EVs without 400A PEC rock trenching
Homes across 78620 and 78737 carry uniquely heavy electrical profiles: acreage estates in Rim Rock, Sawyer Ranch, and rural Hays County run deep submersible well pumps, aerobic septic systems, detached workshops, and pool heaters alongside daily-commuter EVs, while master-planned residences in Caliterra, Belterra, Headwaters, and Highpointe pack dual HVAC units and outdoor kitchens onto a single 200A Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) underground lateral. Trenching hundreds of feet of caliche and limestone for a 320A/400A PEC service upgrade is slow and expensive. A Certified SPAN Panel MAIN 32 or MAIN 40 dynamically throttles deferrable EV and pool loads so your existing 200A feeder runs effortlessly.
Keep well water & essentials online during PEC outages — backed for 10 years
When ice storms or severe Hill Country thunderstorms knock out rural PEC distribution lines along US-290 and RR-12, losing power on an acreage property also means losing well water pressure and septic alarms. Paired with Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, or FranklinWH batteries, SPAN lets you prioritize your well pump, refrigerators, internet, and bedroom mini-splits live from the SPAN Home App while automatically shedding high-draw shop and spa breakers. Performed by our licensed Texas electrical team (TECL #38552), we handle City of Dripping Springs permitting (where applicable), PEC meter disconnect/reconnect, Type 2 surge protection, and a 10-year panel workmanship warranty.

Most modern 200-amp panels can support a dedicated 60A hardwired Level 2 charger directly. If all-electric HVAC, double ovens, or a pool push your NEC Article 220 load calculation near 80%, dynamic EV power management lets you charge at full speed without upgrading to 400A service.

⚡ 200A Panel Replacement & Austin Energy Permit · Austin, TX
“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!”
