Modern 200A panel upgrades for Lake Travis & Lago Vista homes.
From 1970s–1990s all-electric homes in Highland Lake Estates, Bar-K Ranches, Country Club Estates, and Point Venture retiring weathered 125A–150A boxes to newer Tessera on Lake Travis homes adding spas and EVs, we manage City of Lago Vista permits and PEC disconnects with a 10-year warranty.
Built for all-electric 78645 homes where every BTU runs through your main panel
Unlike central-city neighborhoods piped for natural gas, most residences across Highland Lake Estates, Bar-K Ranches, Country Club Estates, Lago Vista Estates, and the Point Venture area are 100% all-electric — meaning heat-pump auxiliary strips, electric water heaters, ranges, dryers, and pool equipment all pull simultaneously from the main breaker box. Many 1970s–1990s North Shore homes still rely on sun-baked 100A–150A panels, corroded aluminum busbars, or high-failure Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco equipment, while newer Tessera on Lake Travis builds hit 200A limits once spas and EVs are added. We upgrade tired panels to copper-bus 200A systems or Certified SPAN Smart Panels that avoid costly limestone FM-1431 trenching.
City of Lago Vista permits, PEC meter coordination, and Lake Travis storm readiness
Exposed Lake Travis ridgelines and winding FM-1431 PEC feeders see heavy summer lightning surges and occasional storm outages. Every panel replacement is installed by licensed Texas electricians (TECL #38552) and includes Type 2 whole-home surge protection, updated copper-clad grounding electrodes, and optional 50A mechanical generator interlock inlets so you can safely back up refrigeration and HVAC during North Shore outages. Our office handles City of Lago Vista Development Services (or Village of Point Venture) electrical permitting, coordinates PEC’s morning disconnect and same-day reconnect, and backs your panel with a 10-year workmanship warranty.
30-Second Austin Capacity & Rebate Check
Can your current panel handle an EV charger, generator, or upgrade?

Recommended NEC Path
Direct 60A Hardwired EV Circuit (Load Calc Verified)
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.
Typical 2026 Austin Range$889 – $2,400 Varies by conduit distance & wall routing (up to $4,400 for 100–200 ft detached runs)
Utility & Rebate NotesAustin Energy Permit & EV Rebate Ready Eligible for Austin Energy Plug-In Austin Level 2 rebate when permitted and installed by a licensed TECL contractor. We provide all required invoice & permit paperwork.

⚡ 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!”
Questions Lago Vista homeowners ask before booking
Why do Lago Vista homes overload 125A and 150A panels faster than Austin homes?
Because most 78645 subdivisions lack municipal natural gas lines, heating, water heaters, ovens, clothes dryers, spas, and EV chargers all share your electrical service. Upgrading to a modern 200A copper-bus panel (or SPAN Smart Panel) eliminates main-breaker overheating and frees capacity safely.
Do you pull City of Lago Vista or Point Venture permits and coordinate with PEC?
Yes. Neither City of Lago Vista Development Services nor Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) allows an unpermitted meter-base or main-panel swap to be re-energized. DC Electric pulls the permit, schedules PEC, and meets the municipal inspector for you.
Can you add a portable generator interlock during my Lago Vista panel upgrade?
Yes. Installing a UL-listed mechanical generator interlock kit and weatherproof 50A exterior inlet box alongside a 200A upgrade is very popular along FM-1431 and Lake Travis coves for storm backup.
Do your licensed electricians handle panel upgrades near me across all Lago Vista neighborhoods?
Yes. DC Electric dispatches licensed, background-checked electricians (TECL #38552) near you across Lago Vista, TX, coordinating Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) utility requirements, municipal permits, and firm upfront flat-rate pricing.
