Everything we claim is stencilled on the door.

This is a real Lightning Electrical truck on a real parking lot pole. Hover the marks and you get the licence, the lift and the year, all of it legible in the photograph rather than asserted underneath it.

Federal Pacific and Zinsco

Your insurance company is not bluffing about the panel.

The letter usually says the same thing: coverage will not be renewed until the electrical is brought up to standard. It lands because Federal Pacific and Zinsco breakers have a documented habit of not tripping when they should, and carriers stopped taking the risk.

Replacing that equipment is work we specialise in, fast and compliant, and we have taken enough of it through City of Austin permitting and Austin Energy that the paperwork is not the part that slows it down. Residential panel replacements, full commercial service rebuilds, multifamily property upgrades.

What we get called for

Nine services, and three of them are most of the phone calls.

Service upgrades and rebuilds

The panel your insurer wants gone

Federal Pacific and Zinsco equipment is why a lot of Williamson County homeowners find us: the carrier writes to say it will not renew until the panel is replaced. We do residential panel replacements, full commercial service rebuilds and multifamily upgrades, and we have run enough of them through City of Austin permitting and Austin Energy to know what the inspector will ask for before he asks.

Residential

The circuit that has been dead for three years

Ceiling fans, recessed cans, chandeliers, soffit outlets for Christmas lights, whole house surge protection, 220V for the dryer, GFCI where the code now wants it. It also covers the awkward ones: the aluminium wire connection, the tripping AFCI nobody can pin down, the wiring inspection before you buy.

Residential

We own the lift, so you are not waiting on one

Ten fully stocked trucks and our own 35 foot boom lift. That is the whole reason we can quote a dark lot on a Tuesday and be up the pole on it rather than booking equipment and calling you back. Install, repair, retrofit, any size lot, estimate inside 24 business hours.

Two Lightning Electrical staff bending conduit with a hand bender in the stocked parts shop

Behind the shop door

Rated 4.9 from 44 reviews, and the office is the part people mention.

Conduit gets bent by hand in our own stocked shop. It is not a photogenic detail, but it is the reason a truck usually leaves with the part already on it.

I recently hired Lightning Electrical to rebuild the service connection at my rural Travis County home. The crew was very professional. They arrived early - beginning the work even before the power company cut the power - reducing the power-out time for the...

They responded quickly and thoroughly diagnosed an issue where my lights were cutting off even though the breaker hadn't tripped. Robert (Who I will call "Super E" for Super Electrician!) and Luis found several loose wires in my main electrical panel, inclu...

Free Estimates and Second Opinions

Both, always, and we will tell you when the fix is small enough to not need us. On lighting and retrofit work we aim to have a number back inside 24 business hours.

10 Fully Stocked Trucks

Plus our own 35' boom lift, so a pole job or a dark parking lot is not waiting on hire equipment. The part is usually already on the truck when it leaves the shop.

Highly Competitive Pricing

Quoted against the drawing or the walk, not against what we think you will pay. Commercial clients get competitive quotes specifically for price comparison.

Locally Owned and Locally Trusted

Woman-owned, family-run, working out of Hutto since 1987 under TECL - 24811, and carrying a 1-year material and labor warranty on the work.

Before you call

The questions the office actually gets.

Yes. Replacing outdated Federal Pacific and Zinsco equipment is work we specialise in, and it is the reason a lot of people in Williamson County call us. We handle residential panel replacements, full commercial service rebuilds and multifamily property upgrades, and we have extensive experience with City of Austin permitting, Austin Energy requirements and the national electrical codes the inspection will be held to.

Every job carries a one year warranty on both material and labor.

Yes. We run 10 fully stocked trucks and own a 35 foot boom lift, so we install, repair and retrofit pole and parking lot lighting on lots of any size without waiting on rented equipment.

We are based at 102 Axis Deer Trail in Hutto and work across Austin, Williamson County and the surrounding areas. Recent commercial work has run from Round Rock and Leander out to Elgin, Kyle, Bee Cave and Waco.
