Electrical Panel Upgrades in Austin, TX
Some Austin homes have been around for decades and while some homeowners may focus on refreshing the look of their yard, kitchen or bathrooms, many forget about their electrical panel. In the years your home has been around, your electrical needs have likely changed. When homeowners are looking for electrical panel upgrades in Austin, they know they can turn to the licensed professionals at ABC Home & Commercial Services.
There are a couple of reasons to upgrade your electric panel. Electric panels channel incoming electricity from the meter and distribute it to the circuits in your home. On occasion, panels can develop issues with properly distributing the power resources, and in those cases would need to be replaced.
More commonly though, it has to do with having an older home. Electric panels come in a range of capacities: 100, 150, 200, or 400 amps. All homes require a minimum amperage, and your electric panel must support that minimum. If your home is older and has an older, lower power panel, it may not be able to power all of today’s modern electrical equipment and appliances.
So, if your home needs to be able to handle 200 amps but only has a panel rated to 100, it would need an upgrade to handle the additional power requirements.

“Agustin and his crew with ABC did a fantastic job cleaning up a super overgrown backyard. It looks and feels like a completely different space. They were on time, efficient and did an incredible clean-up job. Highly recommend! (Before & after pics included)”

“Excellent Service with Opportunities for Enhanced Communication I've had several positive experiences with ABC Home & Commercial Services, and I continue to be impressed by their professionalism and the quality of their work across a variety of services. They truly excel at what they do, and I appreciate the broad range of solutions they offer. While my overall impression is overwhelmingly positive, there are a couple of areas where a bit more refinement could elevate the experience to a perfect 5-star level. For instance, when we scheduled the water filtration system installation for our new home, there were some initial communication challenges regarding the technician's arrival time. I received an appreciated call informing me of a delay, but the subsequent arrival time was missed, and I had to follow up after hours. This led to a rescheduling, which, unfortunately, required another follow-up from my end to confirm the new appointment. However, when the technician did arrive for the rescheduled installation, they were prompt and did an absolutely excellent job, demonstrating the high quality of ABC's work. Similarly, with the lawn care services, I initially experienced a last-minute reschedule. While the notification came after I inquired, the team was able to quickly rebook for two days later. On the day the crew arrived, the communication was spot-on – I received a text notification, and Luis and his crew arrived right on time, delivering a really nice job on the yard. A standout experience was with Jason, the lawn care representative, who was incredibly personable and professional. He arrived on time, provided a thorough quote, and efficiently connected me with the office for other services like painting and electrical work – I received a call within minutes! This rapid response truly showcases ABC's commitment to customer service. I'm definitely planning to continue using ABC Home & Commercial Services because their quality of work is consistently impressive. With just a bit more focus on streamlining scheduling and communication to ensure timely updates and proactive confirmations, the experience will only get better.”
