What Austin Homeowners Should Know

Texas requires electricians to be licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation — Austin Energy also requires permits for all electrical work beyond minor repairs. Austin's solar energy adoption is among the highest of any Texas city, making solar panel installation, battery backup, and grid-tie work a major growth area for local electricians. Travis County saw widespread electrical damage during Winter Storm Uri, and many Austin homeowners have since invested in whole-home generators and transfer switches — now among the most-requested electrical projects in the area.
