Electrical Panel Services in Longview TX in Tyler, Longview & East Texas
Your panel is the one piece of equipment every circuit in the building depends on — and in East Texas, a lot of panels are overdue. Homes around Tyler and Longview built in the 60s through the 80s often still run 100-amp services, and some carry brands with documented failure histories, like Federal Pacific and Zinsco, whose breakers can fail to trip under fault. If that's what's in your garage, it isn't a someday problem.
A modern household pulls far more load than those panels were designed for: central HVAC, electric ranges, a shop out back, maybe an EV charger on the way. We handle 100-to-200-amp service upgrades, full panel replacements with brand-name gear (Square D, Eaton), sub-panels for garages and additions, and the meter bases and weatherheads on the utility side of the equation. Every panel we set leaves with labeled circuits — no more guessing which breaker kills the kitchen.
Panel work is also the natural moment to fix the things that hang off the panel. Whole-home surge protection mounts at the panel and protects everything downstream — worth having in a region with our lightning seasons. A generator interlock lets a portable generator backfeed your panel safely during an outage. We pull the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect, and in most cases have your power back the same day.
Signs it's time
- A Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-style panel
- Breakers that trip repeatedly or feel hot to the touch
- A panel with no open spaces left for new circuits
- Buzzing, crackling, or a burning smell near the panel
- Lights that dim when large appliances start
- Plans for an EV charger, shop, addition, or pool

Questions we
hear a lot.
Straight answers about electrical panel services in longview tx — and if yours isn't here, call and ask. A real person picks up.
How do I know if my panel actually needs replacing?
Age alone isn't the test — condition and capacity are. If your panel is a known-problem brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco), shows heat damage, or has no room left for the way you actually live, replacement is the right call. If you're not sure, we'll tell you honestly when we walk the job; an electrical inspection is a low-cost way to get a documented answer.
Will I lose power during a panel replacement?
Yes, for the duration of the work — the utility disconnects service while we swap the equipment. We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with the utility ahead of time, and in most cases power is restored the same day, subject to utility lineman availability.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Tyler or Longview?
Yes — panel replacements and service upgrades require a permit and inspection in East Texas municipalities, and rural co-op territories have their own utility requirements. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and coordinate with the utility as part of the job. It's included, not an upsell.
What's the difference between a panel replacement and a service upgrade?
A panel replacement swaps the breaker box itself. A service upgrade increases the amperage coming into the building — typically 100A to 200A — which usually means a new meter base, service entrance conductors, and panel together. If you're adding major load like an EV charger or a shop sub-panel, the upgrade is usually what you actually need.
Is whole-home surge protection worth adding during panel work?
It's the cheapest time to do it — the panel is already open and the work is incremental. A panel-mounted surge protector shields everything in the house from utility-side surges and nearby lightning, which East Texas sees plenty of. Details on our grounding and surge protection page.

5 days agoHighly recommend Chosen 1 Electric! Mark Reyes, the owner and a Master Electrician, was the only electrician I contacted who actually responded and followed through. I even had to cancel our original appointment the same day because of a family emergency, and he was incredibly understanding. When I rescheduled and explained I needed the work sooner, Mark fit me in. He and his assistant Abel didn’t just replace an outlet—they evaluated the existing setup, explained why we were having problems, identified what needed to be brought up to code, and gave us a practical solution so we could safely charge our car and connect our RV. Responsive, knowledgeable, professional, and dependable. Chosen 1 Electric is a newer local business, but Mark’s experience as a Master Electrician shows. I’ll absolutely call them again and highly recommend giving this local business an opportunity.

1 month agoI needed to have an RV plug installed in my garage and to also have a couple of ground fault outlets replaced. I was not sure who to call but after doing some online research I reached out to Chosen 1! Mark showed up exactly when he said he would and he completed the job quickly and professionally! I will definitely call him again with my electrical needs.

1 month agoI highly recommend this electrical company! It is so refreshing to find a company that is not only knowledgeable and reliable but also honest. Mark took the time to explain the issue, provided straightforward information, and did not try to pressure me into unnecessary repairs. The work was completly professionally, and I felt confident that I was being treated fairly. If you are looking for an electrician you can trust, I would definitely recommend them!
