FAQ
Are Texas electricians licensed?
Yes. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses Electrical Contractors at master and journeyman levels. Any work performed for compensation requires a current TDLR license, and most cities require electrical permits and inspections.
What does a panel upgrade cost in Texas?
$2,500–$5,000 for a typical 100A to 200A residential panel upgrade in 2026. Cost varies with utility coordination time, panel relocation, and city inspection fees.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger install in Texas?
Yes. Most Texas cities require an electrical permit for any new 240V dedicated circuit, including EV chargers. Permitted work also avoids voiding homeowner insurance for any future electrical incident.
