Inspect first
We look at the system before pricing anything.
Electrical work sized for modern loads.
Panel upgrades, EV chargers, dedicated circuits, lighting, surge protection, and repair work across Dallas-Fort Worth. We review the load, write the scope clearly, complete the work cleanly, and test every circuit we touch.
Panel-first service Scoped, permitted, and labeled
The work your home actually needs.
We keep the scope clear and practical: inspect first, explain what matters, then price the work in writing.
Panel upgrades
100A to 200A upgrades and larger panel replacements with permit coordination, utility scheduling, labeling, grounding review, and final inspection.
specialtyDedicated circuits
New circuits for appliances, workshops, outdoor equipment, mini-splits, and remodels. We check panel capacity before adding load.
commonEV charger installs
Level 2 charger installation sized to the vehicle, charger, panel, and utility service. Load calculation comes before the circuit run.
commonSurge protection
Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel to protect HVAC, appliances, electronics, and connected equipment from utility-side spikes.
specialtyLighting and devices
Recessed lighting, fixture swaps, dimmers, switches, outlets, GFCI protection, ceiling fans, and clean device upgrades.
commonElectrical troubleshooting
Breaker trips, hot devices, dead circuits, flickering lights, buzzing panels, and unsafe symptoms traced by a licensed electrician.
emergencyFrom first look to final walkthrough.
Electrical work should feel exact. You get the load review, written scope, permit path, clean install, and final walkthrough.
01
Panel and load review
A licensed Lantern electrician reviews the service size, panel condition, breaker layout, grounding, visible wiring, and the equipment you want to add.
02
Code path and options
We compare the existing load against the panel capacity, then explain whether the job needs a new circuit, service upgrade, permit, utility coordination, or inspection.
03
Written scope
You get a written scope with equipment, labor, access needs, permit expectations, utility timing if needed, and the price before work begins.
04
Install or repair day
The crew completes the approved work, protects the home, labels circuits, keeps the work area orderly, and coordinates required disconnects or inspections.
05
Testing and labeling
We verify breaker behavior, device operation, voltage, load distribution, labeling, and code items before the job is considered complete.
06
Monitoring handoff
For qualifying panel upgrades, we set up Guardians beta access so the new panel can be watched for circuit load changes over time.
Guardians beta included
Qualifying panel upgrades include Guardians beta access.
Lantern Guardians puts Emporia energy sensors on your new panel and monitors it around the clock. For qualifying 100A to 200A panel upgrades during the beta, sensor setup, 24/7 monitoring, and priority service access are included with the upgrade path.
01 Panel-level sensor install
02 24/7 home health monitoring
03 Priority service during beta
A cleaner way to get trade work done.

Questions before you book.
Clear answers before anyone shows up at your house.
Not always. A 100A panel can support a Level 2 charger if your existing load leaves headroom. We run a load calculation before recommending anything. If your panel is already running hot, we will tell you upfront rather than install a charger that trips breakers every time you plug in.
Most 100A to 200A upgrades close in one day. We schedule the utility disconnect in advance, complete the work while power is off, and pass the inspection before we leave. You are usually back to full power the same afternoon.
Yes, on all work that requires one. Panel upgrades, rewiring, new circuits, and EV charger installs all require permits in DFW municipalities. We handle the filing and coordinate the final inspection. Unpermitted electrical work creates real problems when you sell the home or file an insurance claim.
If your home was built before 1980, it may have aluminum wiring or outdated grounding. Neither is automatically dangerous, but both need evaluation by a licensed electrician. We inspect, document what we find, and give you an honest picture of your actual risk before recommending any work.
A panel-level surge protector clamps voltage spikes that come in through the utility line. It protects your HVAC, refrigerator, washer, dryer, and everything else connected to your home. Point-of-use strips only protect one outlet cluster. For DFW homes with frequent summer storms, panel-level protection is worth it.
Guardians panel monitoring tracks load by circuit, thermal readings, voltage fluctuation, and breaker trip events. A loose connection or overloaded circuit often shows up as a thermal anomaly or a pattern of micro-trips before it becomes a visible problem. That is what catching it early looks like.
