Austin electrical repair, panels and safety checks
Central Austin homes from the 1950s through the 1970s were wired for a fraction of today's load. Add a tankless heater, an EV charger and a home office, and the panel becomes the limiting factor - often announced by a warm outlet or a breaker that keeps tripping.
