Electrician in Horseshoe Bay, TX
Life on Lake LBJ runs on power at the water's edge: dock lights, boat lifts, lakeside outlets and the equipment that keeps a waterfront home working. We wire and repair all of it, with licensed electricians who understand how circuits behave in the sun, spray and humidity of a Highland Lakes shoreline.
Horseshoe Bay homes range from waterfront properties with docks and lifts, to golf-community custom builds, to second homes that owners visit between longer stretches away. Each one asks different things of its electrical system, and we treat them that way rather than applying one template to every call.
For a lakeside repair we charge a diagnostic fee to trace the problem to its real source, then explain your options in plain language with optional, flat-rate repair pricing so you can decide. Our team serves Horseshoe Bay from our Spicewood base, so you get a licensed electrician who already knows the Highland Lakes, not a crew learning the lake on your dime.

Wiring built for Horseshoe Bay
Many Horseshoe Bay homes are upscale custom builds in a golf and resort community, with larger panels, outdoor kitchens, landscape lighting and automation that put real demand on the service. Waterfront properties add docks, boat lifts and lakeside circuits that live in a wet, corrosive environment and need wet-rated fixtures, GFCI protection and careful grounding to stay safe over time.
Electrical permits in the city run through the City of Horseshoe Bay, and we handle that coordination so a dock circuit, panel change or generator install is done to code and signed off. Much of the area is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, and the open skies over the Highland Lakes bring the kind of lightning and storm activity that makes whole-home surge protection and backup power worth planning for.

Electrical services in Horseshoe Bay
Licensed, local and upfront
We know Lake LBJ, not just lakes in general
Docks, boat lifts and lakeside circuits on the Highland Lakes are everyday work for us. We wire them for the wet, corrosive conditions at the shoreline, not as a one-off special request.
Built for second homes you watch from away
A lot of Horseshoe Bay homes sit empty between visits. We set up automated lighting and controls so you can monitor and run the home remotely, and we send text-message updates so you stay in the loop during a job.
Diagnostic fee, then flat-rate options
A troubleshooting call starts with a diagnostic fee to trace the fault, then you choose from optional flat-rate repair pricing. A planned install is quoted flat-rate up front, with no hourly meter on a circuit-heavy lake home.
Licensed and insured

Signs it is time to call an electrician
A dock light or lakeside outlet keeps tripping
Waterfront GFCI circuits trip for a reason. Moisture intrusion, corroded connections and worn fixtures are frequent causes this close to the water and are worth checking before they get worse.
Electronics took a hit after a storm
Lightning across the Highland Lakes can push a surge through the service and damage HVAC boards, appliances and automation. Panel-level surge protection reduces the risk of the next one.
The panel can't keep up with the home
Added lifts, an outdoor kitchen, EV charging or pool equipment can push an older service past what it was sized for. Frequent breaker trips or a warm panel are signs it is time for a load calculation.

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 Horseshoe Bay: common questions
Can you add lighting and power to my dock on Lake LBJ?
Yes. We install wet-rated dock and path lighting on GFCI-protected circuits and add power for boat lifts and equipment. Everything is wired to handle the sun, moisture and corrosion that come with a Lake LBJ shoreline.
Who is my electric utility in Horseshoe Bay?
Much of the Horseshoe Bay area is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative. On a service change we schedule any disconnect, reconnect or meter work with your provider so your lake home project stays on track.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Horseshoe Bay?
Electrical permits in the city run through the City of Horseshoe Bay. For work that requires it, such as a service change, a generator install or new circuits, we pull the permit and handle the inspection so the job is properly closed out.
I only visit my lake house part of the year. Can you help me run it remotely?
Yes. We install automated lighting and whole-home control, including Lutron systems, so you can monitor and operate lights, docks and landscape fixtures from away. It makes a second home look lived-in and lets you spot an issue before you drive back out.
What backup power options make sense for storm outages out here?
A portable generator with a proper interlock kit or transfer switch can keep refrigeration, a well pump and essentials running safely during an outage. We size the setup to your home and never recommend backfeeding through a dryer cord, which is dangerous.
Is surge protection really worth it near the Highland Lakes?
Often, yes. The open skies over the lakes bring frequent lightning, and a nearby strike can push a surge through your service that damages HVAC boards, pool equipment and automation. A Type 2 whole-home surge protector at the panel is a practical first line of defense.
Do you work on larger custom and golf-community homes?
We do. Larger homes mean bigger panels, more circuits and more automation to trace and maintain, which is routine work for us. For troubleshooting we charge a diagnostic fee to check the whole system, not just the symptom, then give you optional, flat-rate repair pricing so you can decide.
What should I do if I smell burning or see sparking at the panel?
Treat it as an emergency. If you can do so safely, cut power to that circuit or the main at the breaker, keep everyone clear, and call 911 if there is any fire. Once it is safe, call us at 512-731-0868 and we will get a licensed electrician out to find the cause.
