Electrical Panel Upgrades in Stephenville & Central Texas
An outdated or undersized electrical panel is one of the most common — and most overlooked — safety hazards in Central Texas homes and businesses. Pro Mechanical of Texas, LLC (TECL36952) provides licensed panel upgrade services for Stephenville, Comanche, Dublin, De Leon, Hico, Hamilton, and surrounding communities.
When Do You Need a Panel Upgrade?
- Breakers that trip frequently or won't reset
- A fuse box still in use (older homes in Erath and Comanche counties)
- The panel feels warm or emits a burning smell
- You're adding high-draw appliances (EV chargers, hot tubs, HVAC systems)
- Home or business is 20+ years old and hasn't been inspected
- Insurance company or home inspector flagged the panel
Risks of an Outdated Panel
An overloaded or corroded panel can cause arc faults, electrical fires, and damage to appliances. Older Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels — still found in some Stephenville-area homes — have documented failure rates and should be evaluated by a licensed electrician.
What the Upgrade Process Looks Like
- Free on-site estimate — a licensed Pro Mechanical electrician assesses your current panel capacity, load demands, and code compliance.
- Permit and utility coordination — we handle all required permits and coordinate with your utility provider for a safe disconnection window.
- Panel replacement — old panel is safely removed and replaced with a properly sized unit; circuits are labeled and tested.
- Inspection and sign-off — work is inspected by the local authority and you receive documentation for insurance and resale records.
Generator Installation — Stay Powered Through Texas Storms
Texas weather is unpredictable. Ice storms, severe thunderstorms, and summer heat waves regularly knock out power across Erath, Comanche, and Hamilton counties. Pro Mechanical of Texas installs standby and portable generators for homes and businesses — ensuring you're never left without power when it matters most. All installations are performed by a licensed electrician (TECL36952) and meet NEC and local code requirements.
Standby vs. Portable Generators
Standby Generators
- Permanently installed outside the home or business
- Connect directly to your natural gas or propane line
- Start automatically within seconds of an outage
- Ideal for whole-home or whole-business backup power
- Require a licensed electrician for installation and an automatic transfer switch (ATS)
Portable Generators
- Lower upfront cost
- Require manual startup and connection through a proper transfer switch or interlock kit
- Never connected directly to the panel without a licensed install
- Suited for partial-load backup for homeowners on a budget
Safe, Code-Compliant Installation
Generator back-feeding into the utility grid is a serious safety and legal hazard. Pro Mechanical installs code-compliant transfer switches or interlock kits with every generator connection to protect your family, your neighbors, and utility workers. We also coordinate required permits.
Brands We Service and Install
Pro Mechanical has experience with leading generator manufacturers including Generac, Briggs & Stratton, Kohler, and Champion. Whether you need a new installation or service on an existing unit, our licensed electricians know these systems.
Serving Stephenville, Comanche, Dublin, De Leon, Hico, Hamilton, and surrounding Central Texas communities.
Lighting & Ceiling Fan Installation for Homes and Businesses
Good lighting does more than illuminate a room — it affects safety, energy bills, and the way a space feels. Pro Mechanical of Texas provides interior and exterior lighting installation and ceiling fan installation for residential and commercial customers throughout Stephenville and Central Texas.
Interior Lighting Installation
From recessed lighting and pendant lighting to under-cabinet lighting, track lighting, and bathroom/vanity lighting, our licensed electricians handle the complete installation. Proper wiring, junction boxes, and dimmers should always be installed by a licensed electrician for code compliance and safety. We commonly install fixtures from Delta, Lutron, and other leading lighting brands.
Exterior & Security Lighting
We install exterior floodlights, motion-sensor lights, landscape lighting, and porch/entry lighting. Stephenville and rural Central Texas properties benefit from well-placed exterior lighting for both safety and security — deterring unwanted activity and improving visibility after dark.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fan installation involves more than swapping a fixture. It requires confirming the existing box is rated for fan weight, verifying the circuit, running a dedicated switch leg where needed, and ensuring the fan is balanced and properly grounded. We install fans from Minka-Aire, Hunter, and other leading brands in both residential and light-commercial settings — offices, waiting rooms, and retail spaces included.
Pro Mechanical has experience installing and servicing fixtures from Delta, Moen, Kohler, and other leading residential and commercial manufacturers.
Outlet & Switch Installation — GFCI, AFCI & Modern Upgrades
Whether you need a single outlet added for a home office, a full GFCI upgrade in your kitchen and bathrooms, or new switches throughout a commercial space, Pro Mechanical of Texas provides code-compliant outlet and switch installation for Stephenville, Comanche, and surrounding Central Texas.
GFCI Outlets
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are required by the NEC in any area near water — kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoors, and unfinished basements. Many older homes in Erath and Comanche counties still have standard outlets in these locations. A Pro Mechanical electrician can identify every non-compliant outlet and bring your home up to current code — reducing shock and electrocution risk.
AFCI Outlets & Breakers
AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection is now required by the NEC in bedrooms, living rooms, and most habitable rooms in new construction and significant remodels. AFCI technology detects dangerous arcing that standard breakers miss — the leading cause of electrical fires in residential settings. Ask about AFCI upgrades for older Stephenville homes.
USB Outlets & Modern Upgrades
Upgrade standard outlets to combination USB-A/USB-C charging outlets for convenience in kitchens, home offices, and commercial spaces. We also install dimmer switches, smart switches compatible with home automation systems, and three-way switch wiring.
All outlet and switch work is permitted and inspected where required. Pro Mechanical electricians are licensed (TECL36952) and carry up-to-date knowledge of Texas electrical codes.
Commercial Electrical Services in Stephenville & Central Texas
Pro Mechanical of Texas provides commercial electrical services for businesses across Stephenville, Comanche, Dublin, De Leon, Hico, Hamilton, and surrounding Central Texas. From tenant improvements and retail buildouts to industrial panels and new construction wiring, our licensed commercial electricians (TECL36952) deliver the reliability and code compliance that businesses depend on.
Tenant Improvements & Buildouts
When a commercial space changes tenants or undergoes renovation, electrical systems often need to be reconfigured. We handle outlet relocation, lighting redesigns, panel upgrades, dedicated circuit additions, and data/low-voltage rough-in coordination to get your space ready on schedule.
New Construction Wiring
Pro Mechanical works with general contractors, builders, and property developers on commercial new construction projects across Central Texas. Services include rough-in wiring, panel installation, service entry coordination, and final trim-out — fully permitted and code-compliant.
Panel Work & Service Upgrades
Commercial operations often outgrow their electrical service as equipment demands grow. We assess your current load, design a panel upgrade or service entrance upgrade, and coordinate with the utility for a minimal-downtime cutover.
Ongoing Maintenance
Preventive electrical maintenance reduces downtime and liability. Pro Mechanical offers scheduled inspections and maintenance agreements for commercial clients who want to stay ahead of failures rather than react to them.
Serving commercial clients in Stephenville, Erath County, and throughout the surrounding Central Texas region including Comanche, Dublin, De Leon, Hico, and Hamilton.
