Can you install an EV charger in my Belton home garage?
Yes. We install Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations for all makes of electric vehicles. Most homeowners choose a Level 2 charger because it charges much faster overnight. We take care of the wiring, outlet, and installation from start to finish.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Look for these warning signs: flickering lights, outlets that don’t work, breakers that trip often, burning smells, or discolored outlet covers. Also, if your home was built before 1980, the wiring may be outdated. Call us and we will inspect your home and tell you exactly what it needs.

What is the difference between a GFCI and an AFCI outlet?
A GFCI outlet protects you from electric shock near water like in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. An AFCI breaker protects against electrical fires caused by damaged or loose wiring inside your walls. Both are required by Texas electrical code in different parts of your home. We install and upgrade both types.
