electrical contractor Austin
Our Texas electrical contractor license is statewide, and we travel for commercial and industrial work. In Austin that means tenant build-outs, repairs, industrial power, service upgrades and commercial standby generators, bid in writing and scheduled around your hours.
Working in Austin
Austin Energy, the city-owned utility, supplies power in its service area and is not part of the competitive retail market, so service changes are coordinated with it. Electrical permits come from the Development Services Department through Austin Build + Connect, and trade contractors register with Building and Trade Contractor Services before they are assigned to one.
Austin work includes offices, labs, restaurants and retail in a city where new buildings and renovations run side by side, and service work starts with Austin Energy's own requirements. We take on commercial, industrial and commercial standby generator work in Austin.
For production and custom home builders in the Austin area, we wire new homes: whole-house rough-in and trim-out, service entrances and temporary power. Service calls, repairs and remodels on existing homes stay in the San Antonio area only.
Austin Energy, the city-owned utility, serves Austin and is not part of the competitive retail market, so a business in its service area buys its power from Austin Energy and coordinates service changes with it. Its service area is mostly in Travis County, with the rest in Williamson County.
Electrical permits in Austin come from the Development Services Department, through the Austin Build + Connect portal. We pull the electrical permit, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector.
Austin requires trade contractors to hold their state license, open an Austin Build + Connect account and register with Building and Trade Contractor Services before they can be assigned to an electrical permit. The registration is in place before the permit is pulled, so it never holds up a start date.
Austin's building technical codes list the 2023 National Electrical Code, with the 2026 edition effective September 1, 2026. TDLR adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code as the state electrical code effective September 1, 2026, and cities adopt their own editions and amendments, so the edition that applies is the one the permit office reviews your permit under.
Every job starts with a written bid: the scope, the permit, the inspections and how changes are priced. The schedule is set with you before we travel, outages are planned around your hours, and every change gets a written price and your approval before the work is done.
