Common Electrical Panel Problems We Solve in Austin
After five decades of serving the Austin community, we've seen every type of electrical issue imaginable. The symptoms you notice are often clues pointing to a specific problem within your electrical panel. We listen to your concerns and know exactly where to look to find the source of the trouble.
Constantly Tripping Circuit Breakers
A breaker that trips occasionally is doing its job. But if it happens constantly, your panel is signaling an overload or a wiring fault. We can expertly determine the cause, ensuring your circuits are safe and capable of handling your home's daily electrical demands without interruption.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Flickering lights are more than just an annoyance; they often indicate a loose connection or a failing component inside your breaker box. Our licensed electricians can carefully inspect your system, tighten connections, and perform the necessary electrical panel repair to restore stable, consistent power to your home.
Overheating Panels and Burning Odors
Any sign of heat or a burning smell from your electrical panel is a serious red flag that requires immediate professional attention. These symptoms can point to a dangerous wiring failure. We treat these calls with the urgency they deserve, quickly diagnosing the hazard to protect your home and family.
Issues with Outdated Fuse Boxes
Many older homes in Austin still rely on fuse boxes that were not built for modern life. If your home still has one, you may experience blown fuses or lack the power you need. We can assess its condition and provide the right service to ensure your electrical system is both safe and sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need electrical panel repair?
Your home's electrical panel will often give clear warning signs when it needs professional attention. Frequently tripping circuit breakers are a primary indicator, signaling that your system is overloaded or has a persistent fault. You might also notice your lights flickering or dimming when you turn on a major appliance, which can point to loose wiring or a failing connection—a potential fire hazard. Any unusual sounds, such as a buzzing or crackling from the panel, or a burning smell, are urgent red flags that require an immediate call to an electrician, as they suggest overheating components. Finally, any visible rust or corrosion on the panel indicates moisture intrusion, which can compromise the entire system's safety and functionality. A professional assessment is the only way to safely diagnose the root cause of these issues and determine the right course of action.
Can I use my appliances during a panel repair?
For your safety and the safety of our electricians, the main power to your home will almost always need to be shut off before we begin working inside the panel. This means that for the duration of the repair, you will not have electricity and will be unable to use your appliances. We highly recommend unplugging sensitive electronics like computers and televisions beforehand to protect them from any potential surge when power is restored. Our team will always communicate with you clearly, providing a reliable estimate for how long the outage will last so you can plan accordingly and minimize any disruption to your day.
Do I need a permit for electrical panel work in Austin?
Yes, the City of Austin requires a permit for most significant electrical panel work, including full panel replacements and many major repairs. This process is not about bureaucracy; it is a critical safety measure designed to protect you and your property. A permit ensures that all work is performed by a licensed contractor and is inspected by a city official to verify it meets the strict standards of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations. We handle the entire permitting process for you, from filing the application to scheduling the final inspection. This provides you with peace of mind and an official record that the job was done correctly, which is vital for both insurance purposes and your home's future resale value.
How much does electrical panel repair typically cost?
The cost of an electrical panel repair is determined by several key factors, including the specific parts required, the complexity of the problem, and the amount of labor involved. For instance, replacing a standard circuit breaker is a relatively low-cost repair, whereas a full panel upgrade to increase your home's amperage is a much larger investment. The final price will account for the cost of materials, the electrician’s time, and the fees for any required city permits and inspections. We are committed to complete transparency, which is why we provide a detailed, upfront quote after our initial assessment. You will know the full cost before we begin any work, ensuring there are no surprises on your final bill.

“These guys are the real deal.”
Preventative maintenance is the backbone of Lantz Home Services. Once again being part of their PM program I avoided a complete shutdown of our grinder pump. Lantz Master Plumber Justin Barnett arrived and I thought all was well until he requested that I take a “peek” into what I would describe as a total catastrophe about to happen at any moment. The grinder system was a horror of failing pump and sewage accumulation and related nasties. Justin told me my options from doing nothing to fixing it with 3 options, which were clearly defined with costs and various replacement components and when it would be finished. We chose wisely. Justin returned with all of the components and in 4 hours it was stripped completely and reassembled with new components. Justin is organized, articulate, educated and polite. Bravo Lantz Home Services PS. I worked in industrial Preventative Maintenance for 25 years. These guys are the real deal.- Randy L. -
“I truly appreciate their responsiveness and professionalism.”
I had a great experience with Lantz Home Services. We ran into an electrical issue at our lake house late in the day, and I honestly didn’t think we’d be able to get an electrician out that evening. When I called, they reassured me that someone would be available—and they delivered. Nick, their electrician, arrived around 7 PM and had everything resolved by 9 PM. He was prompt, thorough, and very courteous throughout the entire process. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed it efficiently, all at a very fair price. I truly appreciate their responsiveness and professionalism. I highly recommend Lantz Home Services and will definitely be using them again in the future.- Larry W. -
Zachary was beyond helpful! He jumped straight to the problem, made sure everything was properly working, walked me through the fix and was straightforward from the get go about what the potential issues could be and what the estimated repairs were as well! He kept me informed and even shared pictures when I couldn't be there right away. After everything was done he put everything back the way it was. This was a grinder pump drainage pipe repair. The site looked as if he was never there! Five stars.- Simon V.

“Highly recommend if you want accurate diagnostics and fair, trustworthy service.”
I had an excellent experience with this HVAC company and especially with Moses, who came out for a second opinion. After a previous technician tried to convince me that I needed a full system replacement (on a 4-year-old unit), Moses took a completely different and highly professional approach. He performed thorough diagnostics before suggesting anything and took the time to properly assess the system instead of jumping to conclusions. He confirmed that there was no leak, no major component failure, and that the system was actually in good working condition. The issue was likely electrical, not something requiring expensive replacements. This immediately put my mind at ease. What really stood out is their honesty and integrity. Instead of pushing unnecessary work, they were transparent about the fact that no major repairs were needed. They also documented their findings and shared everything clearly, which builds a lot of trust. Huge shoutout to Moses for being knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely looking out for the customer’s best interest. It’s rare to find this level of honesty in the industry. Highly recommend if you want accurate diagnostics and fair, trustworthy service.- Annamaria -
“Would highly recommend to anyone I need of their services.”
Excellent service, fast, and professional team. Willie Krueger was the tech who came through, he solved plumbing issues that had bugged me for almost 10 years in about 20 minutes. Will absolutely use them in the future for anything I can, and would highly recommend to anyone I need of their services.- Jonathan J. -
“I can not speak highly enough about the professionalism we received!”
Zac was very cordial and made sure I was aware of what he diagnosed and what it was going to cost. We had one of our Heat Pumps replaced last week, the Techs were John and Landyn. The response was amazing as was the changeout. I can not speak highly enough about the professionalism we received!- Gerald P. -
The folks at Lantz Home Services installed this Tankless Water Heater for me and were absolutely amazing! They put up new wall paneling to cover some wall defects I had from the old tank water heater. So happy with my new water heater!!- Nichole W.

“They take pride in their service”
Mark and Willie came out to the Christian Brothers Automotive pflugerville location and were able to handle the commercial plumbing issue that 3 other plumbing companies were not able to figure out. We will only be using them form now on the difference was night and day between them and the others. On a side note Willie’s service truck was the cleanest most well organized service truck we all had ever seen!!! They take pride in their service and we appreciate that in our service industry as well!- Ian D.
