Find the problem, then flat-rate pricing
Magnify Electric covers residential and light commercial electrical work across Central Texas, from a single flickering circuit to a full service upgrade.
When the cause of a problem is unknown, a licensed electrician troubleshoots to find it for a diagnostic fee and runs a complimentary 54-point safety inspection. From there you get clear, flat-rate pricing for any repairs so you can decide. For known installs and upgrades, you get the flat-rate price before the work begins.
Everything we install, repair and upgrade

Service upgrades to 200 amps, replacements for obsolete Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, and repairs for double-tapped breakers and burned bus bars. We size the panel to your home with a load calculation first.

The systems behind your power, and what fails in each
Most electrical problems trace back to one of five places. Knowing which one is half the job, and it is why we diagnose before we quote.
The service panel
Breakers that will not reset, double-tapped circuits, corroded lugs and obsolete Federal Pacific or Zinsco equipment. This is where overloads and heat damage show up first.
The service entrance and meter
The mast, meter base and conductors that bring power into the home. Storm damage, undersized 60 or 100 amp services and loose connections live here.
Branch wiring
The circuits running through your walls. Aluminum branch wiring, backstabbed devices and open neutrals cause flicker, warm outlets and intermittent power.
Devices and outlets
Switches, receptacles and GFCI and AFCI protection. Worn devices, ungrounded two-prong outlets and missing protection in kitchens and baths are common finds.
Lighting and controls
Fixtures, recessed cans, dimmers and smart or Lutron controls. Incompatible dimmers, flicker and failed drivers are the usual culprits.

Real reviews from our Google Business Profile, in our customers' own words.
Chris and Caden did an amazing job installing my EV charger and helped assist me with other electrical questions I had around my house!! Very professional and kind. I highly recommend them!
Chris and Caden did a great job of installing a dedicated circuit and outlet for us. They were very thorough in checking out the existing circuit outlets and also patient with explaining everything before starting. I appreciated especially the quality of their work, their professionalism, and their willingness to throw in extra work where they saw fit at no charge. In short, I couldn’t be happier about the job they did.
Chris and Caden were awesome - they installed an entire new main panel and a new subpanel very effectively. We knew exactly what to expect at every step in the process, and now everything is up to code! If we need any additional electrical work, we will absolutely call Magnify Electric.
Trayvon is such a professional. He answers any and all questions. Does an amazing job in whatever is needed, and you’d never even know he had been here as he tidies up impeccably. He is our family’s electrician. I’d give 10 stars if able!
Felt lucky to have found Magnify Electric. Christian fixed the issue we were having with our hardwired smoke alarms, installed a whole-house surge protector, and fixed a longstanding light switch issue. He did everything with excellence and efficiency. He did a great job of communicating throughout the process. Thanks so much!
Showed as scheduled. Had to coordinate with PEC and everything went very smoothly. Christian was very professional and completed the job quickly. Very satisfied with the results. I would recommend them to do any electrical work in my home.
Electrical service questions, answered

How do you decide between a repair and a replacement?
We troubleshoot to find the cause, then show you the options. If the equipment is sound and only a part has failed, a repair is usually enough. If it is obsolete, undersized or unsafe, we explain why a replacement is the better value. You get clear, flat-rate pricing for each path so you can decide.
Do you work on both homes and businesses?
Yes. Most of our work is residential, and we also serve light commercial clients such as offices, retail spaces, and medical and dental offices with service and repair, equipment installs and LED retrofits.

Do you charge for a service call, and do you offer financing?
For a problem of unknown cause there is a troubleshooting fee to diagnose it, then we give you optional, flat-rate pricing for any repairs. Financing is available on qualifying jobs, so a larger upgrade does not have to wait.
Do you pull permits and handle inspections?
Yes, for work that requires it, such as service changes and new circuits. Depending on your address that may be a City of Austin or a county permit, and we coordinate the inspection and any utility work with Austin Energy, Pedernales Electric Co-op or Oncor.
