Electrician in Leander, TX
New construction defines Leander. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, it is full of recently closed homes in communities like Crystal Falls, Travisso, Bryson and Mason Hills, and those builder-wired houses almost always need a few things the builder left out. Magnify Electric is a licensed, family-owned team that serves Leander from our Spicewood base.
A brand-new home still arrives with builder-grade choices: a panel sized tight for the day it was inspected, an empty garage wall where your EV charger should go, and no whole-home surge protection on a street where the grid is still being built out around you. Those are the calls we take in Leander every week.
For troubleshooting we charge a diagnostic fee to find the real cause, then explain your options with optional, flat-rate repair pricing. For a planned install you asked for, we give you flat-rate pricing up front.

Wiring built for Leander
Most Leander homes are new or nearly new, built to recent code with modern breaker panels, yet the panel and circuit count were sized to pass inspection, not to carry an EV, a hot tub, a shop and a home office all at once. That means the most common work here is not fixing old wiring, it is adding capacity: new circuits, a Type 2 surge protective device, and often a panel upgrade when the load calculation comes up short.
Electrical permits and inspections for work inside the city run through the City of Leander, and we pull the permit and handle the inspection so your additions are properly closed out. Much of Leander is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, though some areas are served by other providers, so we confirm your utility before any work that involves the meter or service entrance.
Leander also reaches the Hill Country edge on its western side, where a few properties sit on longer service drops and larger lots, so grounding and voltage drop on long runs still deserve attention even on a new build.

Signs it is time to call an electrician
Your new panel is already full
If there is no open breaker space left for an EV charger or a new circuit, the builder sized the panel tight. A load calculation tells us whether you need a subpanel or a service upgrade.
No surge protection at the panel
Most new Leander homes ship without a whole-home surge device. On a grid still being built out around new communities, that leaves your electronics and HVAC boards exposed.
Breakers trip when the big loads run
A breaker that trips when the microwave, hair dryer or shop tools run usually means a circuit is carrying more than it was designed for, not a bad appliance.

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 Leander: common questions
I just closed on a new build in Leander. What should I add first?
The three most common first calls are a Level 2 EV charger, a whole-home surge protector and any outlets or circuits the builder left out. We start with a load calculation on your panel so anything we add has the capacity to run safely.
Can you install an EV charger in a new Leander home?
Yes. We install NEMA 14-50 outlets and hardwired Level 2 chargers on dedicated circuits, and we check your panel load first. If a builder-grade panel is full, we will tell you whether a subpanel or a service upgrade is the better fix before we quote the work.
Who is my electric utility in Leander?
Much of Leander is served by Pedernales Electric Cooperative, though some areas are served by other providers. We coordinate any required meter, disconnect or reconnect work with your provider as part of a service change.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Leander?
For work inside the city, permits and inspections run through the City of Leander. When a job calls for it, like a panel change or new circuits for your EV and surge gear, we pull the permit and handle the inspection so it is properly closed out.
My brand-new home has no surge protection. Is that normal?
It is common. Many builders skip whole-home surge protection, so we install a Type 2 surge protective device at the panel to guard HVAC control boards, appliances and the smart-home gear a new house is full of. It is a small addition that protects a lot of expensive electronics.
Can you add recessed and smart lighting after move-in?
Yes. We add recessed lighting to finished ceilings and set up automated lighting with dimmers and schedules without tearing up your new drywall. It is some of the most popular work we do for owners settling into Crystal Falls and Travisso.
How does your pricing work?
When a repair has an unknown cause, a troubleshooting fee covers diagnosing it, and then the optional repair pricing you approve is flat-rate so the call stays yours. A scoped install is quoted flat-rate up front, and financing is available on larger work.
Do you serve the areas around Leander too?
Yes. We serve Leander and the surrounding Williamson County area from our Spicewood base, including Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, Georgetown, Lago Vista and Jonestown.
