Electrician in Spicewood, TX
Spicewood is our hometown. Our shop sits on State Highway 71, so when you call Magnify Electric you are reaching a licensed, family-owned team that already knows the back roads, the lake coves and the way power behaves out here.
Homes in Spicewood run the full range, from waterfront properties with boat docks on the western arm of Lake Travis, to ranch-style places on acreage, to newer custom builds in Travis Settlement, West Cypress Hills and Barton Creek Lakeside. Each one has its own electrical quirks.
For troubleshooting we charge a diagnostic fee to find the real cause, then explain your options in plain language with optional, flat-rate repair pricing so you can decide what happens next.

Wiring built for Spicewood
Most of Spicewood is unincorporated, which means electrical permits and inspections generally run through Burnet County or Travis County rather than a city office. We handle that coordination so a dock circuit, a panel change or a generator hookup is done to code and signed off.
Much of the area is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, and a lot of properties sit on well pumps and septic, so a power problem is not just an inconvenience, it can take your water with it. Long service drops and outbuildings on acreage also mean voltage drop and grounding deserve real attention out here.

Electrical services in Spicewood
Licensed, local and upfront
Spicewood is home base
Our shop is on SH 71 in Spicewood, so you are not waiting on a crew driving out from the city. This is the community we live and work in.
We know county permitting
Unincorporated Spicewood means Burnet or Travis County jurisdiction, and we handle the permit and inspection so your work is properly closed out.
Diagnostic fee, then flat-rate options
For troubleshooting, a diagnostic fee locates the problem and the optional repair pricing that follows is flat-rate for you to approve. A planned install is quoted flat-rate up front, with no hourly meter on an acreage job.
Licensed and insured
TECL 29321 and TX Master License 269417, with every job done to the current National Electrical Code.
Built for rural and waterfront work
Well pumps, docks, long service runs and outbuildings are everyday work for us, not a special request.
Signs it is time to call an electrician
Lights flicker when storms roll through
Rural lines and lightning make flicker and surge common here. It can point to a loose connection or a service issue worth checking before damage adds up.
A dock or outdoor outlet keeps tripping
Waterfront GFCI circuits trip for a reason. Moisture intrusion and worn fixtures are frequent causes near the lake.
Your well pump drops out with the power
If an outage leaves you without water, a generator hookup keeps the pump and essentials running until power returns.

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.
Electrician in Spicewood: common questions
Do you really cover rural Spicewood and the lake coves?
Yes. We are headquartered in Spicewood on State Highway 71, so acreage off the highway, waterfront homes on Lake Travis and the newer developments like Travis Settlement and West Cypress Hills are all everyday work for us.
Who is my electric utility in Spicewood?
Much of the Spicewood area is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative. We coordinate any required disconnect, reconnect or meter work with your provider as part of a service change.
Do I need a permit for electrical work out here?
Most of Spicewood is unincorporated, so permits and inspections generally go through Burnet County or Travis County rather than a city. For work that requires it, such as a service change or new circuits, we pull the permit and handle the inspection.
Can you add lighting and power to my boat dock?
Yes. We install wet-rated dock and path lighting on GFCI-protected circuits and add power for lifts and equipment, wired to handle sun, moisture and the distance from the house.
What can I do during an outage if I am on a well?
A portable generator with a proper interlock kit or transfer switch can keep your well pump, refrigerator and heat running safely. We never recommend backfeeding through a dryer cord, which is dangerous.
My lights flicker during storms. Is that a problem?
It can be. Flicker can come from a loose connection, an overloaded circuit or a service issue, and lightning-prone rural lines make surge damage more likely. We trace the cause and recommend panel-level surge protection where it makes sense.
How does your pricing work?
For a repair where the cause is unknown, a troubleshooting fee covers diagnosing it, then you get optional, flat-rate repair pricing to approve so you can decide whether to proceed. If the work is a defined install, you get a flat rate before it begins.
