Longview is the Gregg County seat and the largest city in this part of East Texas. It is home to LeTourneau University and the Eastman Chemical Texas Operations plant, and it pulls in workers and families from all over the region.
The city grew in waves, and you can see it in the housing. The older central neighborhoods have homes with panels and wiring that were sized for a time before air conditioning, much less EV chargers. Out toward the newer parts of town, the work is different. We handle both.
Panel upgrades for older Longview homes
In the older neighborhoods near downtown, a 100 amp panel is common and it is often full. Breakers trip when the AC and the kitchen run at the same time. A 100 amp to 200 amp upgrade gives the house room to breathe.
We also see older panel brands here that home inspectors and insurers flag. If you are selling or buying one of these homes, we can look at the panel and tell you whether it needs to go.
Rewiring central Longview
Two-prong outlets, cloth-covered wiring, and aluminum branch wiring show up in the older parts of Longview. These get flagged on home sale inspections and by insurers. We rewire in part or as a whole home and keep wall damage to a minimum.
We plan the route with you so you know what gets opened and what stays closed before we start.
Commercial work for Longview businesses
Longview has a real business base, from shops and offices near the main corridors to small commercial buildings. We do lighting retrofits, equipment circuits, service upgrades, and tenant buildouts, scheduled around your hours when we can.
If you are opening or remodeling a space, we work with your builder and your inspector so the electrical does not hold up the schedule.
