Electrical questions, answered
What does electrical work cost in San Antonio?
Service calls $75–$150. Panel upgrades $1,800–$4,000. Outlet/switch work $100–$250 per point. EV charger install $500–$1,500 depending on panel capacity and run length.
Does my older SA home need a panel upgrade?
Homes built before ~1990 often run 100-amp panels and can't safely support modern loads (EV chargers, big HVAC, pools). Signs: frequent trips, warm panel, fuses, or Federal Pacific/Zinsco brands — those should be replaced regardless.
Is electrical work permitted in San Antonio?
Yes — most work beyond replacing devices requires permits and a licensed electrician (TDLR). Panel changes always need one. Unpermitted work creates insurance and resale problems.
How much does an EV charger install cost?
Level-2 charger installs run $500–$1,500 if the panel has capacity; add $1,500–$3,500 if a panel upgrade is needed. CPS Energy territory rates make overnight charging cheap.
Are older SA homes wired safely?
Pre-1970 homes may have ungrounded two-prong circuits or aluminum branch wiring — both worth an inspection. GFCI protection in kitchens/baths is the first fix any electrician should check.
