Richardson's older homes often have 100-amp panels that can't handle modern electrical demands. We upgrade to 200-amp service, install new breaker panels, and ensure your home meets current electrical codes. If your breakers trip frequently or you're adding major appliances, an upgrade may be necessary for safety and functionality.

Learn MoreThese symptoms indicate serious electrical hazards that require immediate professional attention. Never ignore warning signs—electrical fires can start in walls where you can't see them. If you experience any of these issues, call LEX immediately at (972) 466-1917.
EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY and call 911. A burning plastic or fishy odor near outlets, switches, or your electrical panel indicates overheating wires or melting insulation. This is a fire emergency. Do not attempt to investigate—leave the home and call emergency services, then call us for repairs once safe.
If breakers trip constantly, your electrical panel is doing its job protecting you from overloaded circuits—but the underlying problem needs fixing. This often means your home's electrical system can't handle your current demands. Panel upgrades, dedicated circuits, or rewiring may be necessary for safety.
Lights that flicker when appliances turn on, dim unexpectedly, or buzz indicate loose wiring connections, overloaded circuits, or failing fixtures. While not always an immediate emergency, these symptoms can escalate to dangerous arcing or fire if left unaddressed. Schedule an inspection promptly.
Outlets or switches that feel warm, show scorch marks, or have discolored plastic are overheating—a precursor to electrical fires. Stop using the outlet immediately and call a licensed electrician. Never cover or ignore damaged outlets, especially in Richardson's older homes with original wiring.
Visible sparks from outlets when plugging in devices, or buzzing/sizzling sounds from walls, panels, or fixtures indicate dangerous electrical arcing. Arcing generates extreme heat and can ignite surrounding materials. Turn off power at the breaker if safe to do so, and call for emergency electrical service immediately.
Homes built before 1960 often lack grounded electrical systems, creating shock and fire risks. If your Richardson home has two-prong outlets everywhere, it's time for an electrical safety inspection and potential rewiring. Modern electronics and appliances require proper grounding for safety and optimal performance.
"Our 1970s home in Canyon Creek had constant breaker issues and outlets that barely held plugs anymore. LEX upgraded our panel to 200 amps, replaced all the outlets, and installed GFCI protection in the bathrooms and kitchen. The technician explained everything clearly, the price was fair, and they finished in one day. Finally feel safe with our electrical system!"

If your home was built before 1990, has a 100-amp panel or smaller, experiences frequent breaker trips, or you're adding major appliances (like electric vehicle chargers or hot tubs), you likely need an upgrade. Many Richardson homes in neighborhoods like Canyon Creek and Northrich were built in the 1960s-70s with insufficient electrical capacity for modern demands. We'll inspect your panel and provide honest recommendations—we never upsell unnecessary work.
Evacuate immediately and call 911. A burning smell indicates overheating wires or electrical arcing—both fire hazards. Do not touch the outlet or attempt to unplug devices. Once emergency services clear your home as safe, call LEX at (972) 466-1917 for emergency electrical repairs. We'll identify the source, repair damaged wiring, and ensure your electrical system is safe before you return.
Yes. We install both portable generator connections (transfer switches) and permanent standby generators that automatically activate during power outages. Texas storms and grid issues make backup power increasingly important for Richardson families. We'll assess your home's electrical needs, recommend the right generator size, handle all permitting, and ensure safe installation with proper grounding and transfer switching.
Flickering lights when major appliances start usually indicate an overloaded circuit, undersized wiring, or loose connections. Your HVAC system draws significant power on startup—if your electrical system wasn't designed to handle that load, you'll notice dimming or flickering. This isn't just annoying; it can damage electronics and indicates your system needs professional evaluation. We'll diagnose the cause and recommend solutions, whether that's dedicated circuits, panel upgrades, or wiring repairs.
