About us

Marcus Rivera

Owner & master electrician · Austin Electric Pros

I started Austin Electric Pros after 10 years working for a large electrical contractor — the kind of company where you're a truck number, not a name. I wanted to build something different: a small operation where every customer gets my direct number, I show up when I say I will, and I never recommend work that doesn't need doing. We handle everything from panel upgrades and EV chargers to ceiling fans and troubleshooting calls. Licensed in Texas, bonded, and insured. Free estimates on every job.

"Called at 7am with a tripped breaker that wouldn't reset. Tech was there by 9, diagnosed a faulty breaker in 20 minutes, fixed and gone by 10:30. Exactly what you want."

"Did all the electrical for our kitchen remodel — new circuits, recessed lighting, under-cabinet lights, and a dedicated outlet for the range. Zero issues on inspection."

Common questions

Electrician FAQ

Answers to the questions Austin homeowners ask most.

Call with a question
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?

A 200-amp panel upgrade typically costs $1,200–$2,500, including parts, labor, and permit fees. A 400-amp service for larger homes runs $2,500–$4,000. Prices vary by local permit costs, how far the service entrance is from the meter, and whether the wiring needs updating. We provide free on-site estimates before any work begins.

Do I need a permit to replace an electrical panel?

Yes. Every state requires a permit for electrical panel replacement, and the work must be inspected by the local building department before your power is restored. A licensed electrician will pull the permit on your behalf, schedule the inspection, and ensure the installation passes — all as part of the job.

How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?

Key signs: breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, flickering lights when appliances run, a panel still using fuses, or a Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand panel (known fire risks). If your home is over 25 years old and you're adding EV charging or solar, an upgrade is almost always needed.

How long does a panel replacement take?

A standard panel replacement takes 4–8 hours. The power will be off during the swap, but restored the same day before we leave. If the utility needs to pull and reset the meter, there may be a brief additional wait — we coordinate that for you.

Is it safe to upgrade my own electrical panel?

No — panel work should never be DIY. The service entrance wires coming into your panel from the utility are always live, even when the breaker is off. Working on them without proper training and equipment can cause electrocution or fire. Most states require a licensed electrician for panel work.
