Longview, TX Electrician
Oilfield service yards, fab shops on Estes Parkway, postwar neighborhoods in Greggton and Pine Tree, and a grid that takes a beating every storm season. We wire all of it — 35 minutes up US 80, licensed, insured, and priced in writing.
Longview earns its living with its hands. Gregg County grew up on the East Texas Oil Field, and the town still runs on the businesses that followed it — machine shops and fab yards along the Estes Parkway corridor, service companies off Eastman Road, warehouses near the rail line, and the small storefronts that keep downtown working. That kind of town needs an electrician comfortable with three-phase power, motor circuits, and commercial panels, not just light switches. That's the work we built this company on.
The houses tell the same story. Whole neighborhoods — Greggton, Pine Tree, Spring Hill, the streets off Mobberly — went up fast in the boom decades, and a lot of that 1950s-to-1970s wiring is still in the walls: aluminum branch circuits, 60- and 100-amp panels, two-prong outlets, and grounding that was an afterthought. We modernize these houses without tearing them apart, whether that's a full panel changeout, replacing every device and termination, or a whole-home rewire when the copper math says it's time.
And then there's the weather. Longview sits in pine country on the SWEPCO grid, and between spring thunderstorms and the occasional ice storm, outages aren't hypothetical — they're seasonal. We install and service standby generators, add whole-home surge protection against lightning, and when a strike does get through, we run the insurance claim testing that gets your claim documented properly. Our shop in Big Sandy is 35 minutes up US 80 — close enough for same-day calls, and available 24/7 when it can't wait.
Heavy loads.
Old houses.
Hard weather.
That's Longview's electrical reality in six words, and it's the work we do best. Meet the crew on our about page, see how a job runs start-to-finish in our process, or go straight to the full service list.
Built for buildings that earn their keep.
Downtime costs money in a working town. We scope commercial and industrial jobs around your operating hours, put the price in writing before we start, and leave the panel schedule labeled so the next person doesn't have to guess.
- 01
Shop & yard power
Metal buildings, fab shops, and equipment yards — welder circuits, compressor feeds, bus drops, high-bay lighting, and sub-panels that put power where the work happens. If it pulls amps, we've wired for it.
- 02
New services, pole to panel
Raw land, a new building, or a yard that's outgrown its feed. We coordinate with the utility, set the meter loop, and bring in overhead or underground service at the size the load calculation actually calls for.
- 03
Backup power that works
Transfer switches, generator interlocks, and full standby installs for businesses that can't afford a dark Friday night — and maintenance plans so the unit starts when the grid quits, not just the day we leave.
- 04
Eyes on the yard
Security camera systems for equipment yards, shops, and storefronts — wired properly with clean power and coverage planned around how the property is actually used, not where the nearest outlet was.
Good bones.
Tired wiring.
The brick houses in Pine Tree and Greggton were built to last, and they have — it's the wiring that's aged out. Our residential electricians bring these homes up to today's code and today's loads: panel changeouts, grounded circuits, GFCI and AFCI protection, hardwired smoke detectors, and dedicated appliance circuits for the kitchens these houses never planned for. When something misbehaves and nobody can say why, our diagnostic calls trace it to the source instead of guessing at parts.
Updating doesn't have to mean a gut job. Most of what we do in Longview's older neighborhoods happens through existing walls — and every visit ends with a written price before work begins, the same way every job we run does.
Signs your Longview house is due
- Breakers that trip when the AC and dryer run together
- Two-prong outlets and missing grounds throughout the house
- A panel brand your home inspector flagged — or flinched at
- Warm switch plates or outlets that crackle under load
- Lights that dim when anything with a motor kicks on
- An insurance renewal asking pointed questions about your wiring
When the pines meet the power lines.
Every Longview homeowner knows the drill: spring supercells, summer lightning, and the ice storm that takes a limb — and the line under it — every few winters. The houses that ride it out comfortably planned ahead with a properly sized standby generator, surge protection at the panel, and a maintenance plan that keeps the unit ready between outages. And when the storm wins anyway, our 24/7 emergency line answers at 2 a.m. the same as it does at 2 p.m.

Longview, TX emergency electrician.
In a working town, an electrical emergency is rarely just an inconvenience. A shop that loses a phase at 6 a.m. has a crew standing around by 6:15. A restaurant with a dead panel on Friday night is losing its best hours of the week. And at home, a buzzing breaker box or an outlet that's gone warm in one of Longview's older houses isn't something to sleep on. Our 24/7 emergency electricians cover all of it, across Longview and Gregg County, every day of the year.
We're 35 minutes up US 80, and the truck that rolls is stocked to stabilize the problem on arrival — isolate the failed circuit, make the hazard safe, get the essential loads back on — with the permanent repair quoted in writing before we leave. If something is sparking, smoking, or a line is down in the yard, clear the area and call 911 first. Then call us; we answer at 2 a.m. the same as 2 p.m.

Asked across
Gregg County.
The questions Longview homeowners and shop owners actually call with. Yours isn't here? (903) 225-8558 — we answer.
Do you handle three-phase and commercial work in Longview?
Yes — it's a big part of what we do in Gregg County. Three-phase distribution, motor circuits, sub-panels, and machine hookups for commercial buildings, plus heavy single-phase work for shops and metal buildings. If the building doesn't have power yet, we coordinate the new electrical service with the utility from pole to panel.
My Longview house has aluminum branch wiring. Is that a problem?
It can be. A lot of Longview housing went up in the 1960s and 70s when aluminum branch wiring was standard, and the failure point is the connections — outlets, switches, and splices that loosen and overheat over decades. Often the fix is remediating the devices and terminations rather than rewiring the whole house. We'll inspect first and tell you which situation you're in.
What size standby generator do I need for SWEPCO outages?
It comes down to what you want running when the grid drops. Essentials-only — fridge, lights, a window of outlets — sizes very differently than whole-home with central AC. We do the load math during a standby generator site visit and quote the install in writing, transfer switch and gas hookup included. Already own one? We handle generator maintenance too, so it actually starts when the ice storm hits.
Do you cover White Oak, Gladewater, Kilgore, and Hallsville?
All of them. Our shop in Big Sandy sits just up US 80, so White Oak and Gladewater are actually on the way to Longview. Kilgore, Hallsville, Judson, Easton, Lakeport — anywhere in Gregg County and the towns ringing it, same crew, same pricing. If you're unsure, ask us; odds are we were nearby this week.
Lightning hit near my house and now things are acting up. Can you document it for insurance?
Yes. We run insurance claim testing — megohmmeter readings on affected circuits, written findings, and documentation formatted for adjusters. East Texas thunderstorms make this a regular call for us. Afterward, whole-home surge protection is the cheap insurance against the next strike.
Shop, house,
or both.
Tell us what you're running and what keeps tripping. We scope in person and quote in writing — check our reviews or the project gallery to see the standard first. West of the county line? We work Tyler too.
