Local knowledge
What Fort Worth Homeowners Need to Know About Electrical
Aging Panels Are a Real Risk in Older Fort Worth Homes
Many Fort Worth homes built in the 1960s–1980s still have Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels, both of which have documented failure rates and are considered fire hazards by the electrical industry. If your home has one of these panels, it may also affect your homeowners insurance. Our electricians can inspect and advise — and most insurers will require replacement before renewal.
EV Charger Demand Is Surging in Tarrant County
Fort Worth and the surrounding Keller, Southlake, and Mansfield suburbs have seen rapid EV adoption. A Level 2 home charger (240V, 40–50A circuit) fully charges most EVs overnight and requires a dedicated circuit from your panel. Oncor offers rebates of up to $250 for qualifying EV charger installations — ask your electrician about current eligibility.
Surge Protection After North Texas Storms
Fort Worth averages 50+ thunderstorm days per year. Lightning strikes and grid fluctuations during storms are a leading cause of appliance and electronics damage. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel costs $300–$600 and protects everything in your home — far less than replacing a refrigerator, HVAC system, or smart home equipment after a spike.
