Bryan Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work across Bryan and Brazos County, from a single dead outlet to a full-building wiring project. Whether you own a home, manage rental properties, or run a business, we bring the same attention to the work and the same clarity to the call. Safe wiring. Solid workmanship. Straight answers.
We keep electrical service scheduled without the runaround. Call us with what you are seeing, and we will tell you exactly what it takes to fix it. Give us a call and we will get the power back on.
A flickering light and a full rewire start the same way, with a look at what is actually happening in the circuit. A flickering fixture might be a loose connection at the switch. A dead outlet could be a tripped GFCI upstream. A breaker that keeps tripping may be carrying more load than it was designed for, or it may be failing on its own. We look at the symptom, trace the cause, and explain what we found before any work is scheduled.
Common calls we handle include outlets that have stopped working, breakers that trip under normal loads, burning smells near a panel or outlet, sparking receptacles, and sections of the house with no power. We also install and test GFCI and AFCI protection where it is required by code or where older wiring has left a home without it. Arc-fault and ground-fault breakers add a layer of protection that standard breakers do not provide, and we can assess whether your current setup covers the areas it should.
The fault traced before anything is replaced. We will make your wiring safe again.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that starts with using the correct materials and wiring every outlet and switch to code. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI outlets in bedrooms and living spaces, and USB outlets where convenient charging matters. Every installation is wired to current code requirements for the location.
Switch work covers the full range: dimmer switches, three-way switch replacements, smart switch wiring, and straightforward replacements when a switch stops responding. We also handle the wiring behind the switch, not just the device itself, so the repair is complete rather than cosmetic.
The work area is left as it was found. Call now and we'll set the appointment.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and good lighting is one of the most visible ways that shows. We install recessed lighting, replace dated fixtures with new ones, run under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, and handle outdoor lighting for both function and security. Motion sensor lights, security lights, and landscape lighting all require proper wiring and weatherproof installation, and we handle each of those from the circuit out.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement is one of the most common calls we get, especially heading into a Texas summer. A fan that is wired incorrectly or hung without a rated box is a hazard. We install the box, run the wiring if it is not already there, and hang the fan so it operates the way it should. If you are adding a fan to a room that does not currently have a ceiling box or a switched circuit, we handle that part too.
We keep your home powered and safe.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that matters when a wiring project is holding up a renovation or a new appliance installation. We run dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, refrigerators, and other appliances that need their own breaker. A dryer outlet or a range outlet that is not wired to a proper 240-volt dedicated circuit is a load problem waiting to become a safety problem.
For older homes in Bryan and across Brazos County, rewiring is sometimes the right answer. Knob-and-tube wiring and aluminum wiring each carry risks that patching around does not fix. We assess what is in the walls, explain the scope honestly, and carry out the rewiring in a way that minimizes disruption to the home. Garage wiring, workshop circuits, basement and sump-pump circuits, and addition or renovation wiring all follow the same approach: scope the job on the call, confirm the plan before work starts, and wire it to code.
Bryan and Brazos County see real weather. Hot summers push air conditioning loads hard, and storm season brings lightning, power surges, and the occasional extended outage. The area is also growing, which means older homes are being updated and new construction is adding electrical demand across the region. The three services below come up regularly here for exactly those reasons. When you call us, you get a straight answer about the work.
A panel upgrade involves calculating the total load the home or building needs to carry, assessing whether the service entrance has the capacity to support it, and replacing or expanding the breaker panel to match. Older homes in Bryan often have 100-amp panels that were sized for a different era of electrical demand. Running central air conditioning, electric appliances, EV chargers, and modern electronics on an undersized panel puts stress on every circuit in the system. We handle 200-amp service upgrades, main panel replacements, fuse box replacements, and commercial panel upgrades, and we confirm the scope and price before any work begins.
A generator hookup involves installing a transfer switch that safely disconnects your home from the utility grid before the generator takes over. Without a proper transfer switch, a generator connected directly to the panel is a hazard to anyone working on the lines outside. We wire the transfer switch, connect the generator to the panel, and test the system so it is ready when the next storm rolls through Brazos County. Standby generator wiring and portable generator connection service are both available.
A plug-in surge strip protects the device it is plugged into. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel protects every circuit in the building at once. Summer lightning activity in this part of Texas and fluctuations from the utility grid can send voltage spikes through your wiring that damage appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment before you notice anything is wrong. Panel-level surge protection is a single installation that covers the whole house, and it is one of the more straightforward upgrades we do.
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel with enough available capacity to carry the load. When you call about an EV charger installation, we start by checking what your panel can support and whether any upgrades are needed before the circuit is run. The visit covers running the circuit to the garage or parking area, installing the outlet or hardwired charger, and confirming the installation is working correctly before we leave. You end up with a charging setup that is wired to code and ready for daily use. Call now and we'll set the appointment.
Property managers, business owners, and contractors working in Bryan call us for the same reason homeowners do: they need the work done correctly and they need to know what it will cost before anything starts. We handle commercial electrical repair, office and retail wiring, new construction electrical work, and electrical work for additions and tenant improvements. Commercial panel upgrades and dedicated circuits for commercial equipment are a regular part of what we do. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
Code-compliant wiring and subpanel installation for larger commercial spaces are handled the same way as any other job: the scope is confirmed on the call, the price is given before scheduling, and the work is completed to the standard the local inspectors enforce. We'll make your wiring safe again.
An electrical inspection covers the condition of the panel, the age and type of wiring throughout the home, the condition of outlets and switches, grounding and bonding, and whether GFCI and AFCI protection is present where it is required. This is useful for home buyers who want to know what they are taking on, for owners of older properties where the wiring has not been reviewed in years, and for anyone whose home has been through a storm or an electrical event that may have caused damage that is not visible.
We walk through what we find and explain it before any repair work is proposed. No-pressure estimates, priced up front. Call now and we'll set the appointment.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and the pricing conversation should be just as straightforward. Electrical work is priced by the job, and the scope of the job determines the cost. A GFCI outlet replacement costs less than a panel upgrade, and a panel upgrade on a home with an existing 200-amp service entrance costs less than one that requires a full service upgrade from the utility connection down.
When you call, we ask what you are dealing with, scope the job on the call, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. You know what it covers and you decide whether to move forward. No-pressure estimates, priced up front. We keep your home powered and safe.
We serve Bryan and the communities around it, including College Station, Hearne, Calvert, Navasota, Madisonville, and Huntsville. If you are in Brazos County or a neighboring area and need an electrician, give us a call to confirm we cover your address. We are open every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM.
You call, describe what you are seeing, and we scope the job on the phone. We give you the price before anything is scheduled, and you decide whether to move forward. When the visit happens, we trace the fault, explain what we found, and carry out the work that was agreed on.
Pricing is confirmed on the call before the visit is booked, so you know the cost before anyone arrives. Payment is handled once the work is complete. There are no charges added after the fact that were not discussed when you called.
The price given on the call reflects what we understood the job to involve at the time. If the visit reveals that the job is more involved than the initial description suggested, that conversation happens before the work expands, not after. You are told what it covers and you decide whether to proceed.
A single visit can cover a range of work depending on what is needed: tracing a fault, replacing an outlet or switch, installing a fixture, or diagnosing a panel issue. We scope the job on the call so the visit is focused from the start. For larger projects like panel upgrades or rewiring, the scope and timeline are discussed before scheduling.
We are available every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM, including weekends, which gives most customers a window that fits their schedule. When you call, we confirm what is available and find a time that works. We also take short-notice work when the schedule allows.
Yes. Property managers and landlords call us regularly for outlet and switch work, panel inspections, code compliance jobs, and electrical safety inspections before a unit changes hands. We scope each job on the call and confirm pricing before scheduling, which keeps the process straightforward across multiple units or properties.
That is worth discussing when you book. If access to the property requires someone to be present, we confirm that on the call so the visit is not wasted. For properties where access can be arranged another way, we work through those details at scheduling.
The price reflects the scope of the specific job, not the square footage of the home. A panel upgrade on a home with an existing 200-amp service entrance costs less than one that requires a full service upgrade from the utility connection down. We go through what the job involves and give you a price that reflects the actual work.
Have a description of what you are seeing ready: which outlets or lights are affected, whether a breaker has tripped, and whether the problem started suddenly or has been building. That information helps us scope the job on the call and give you an accurate price. You do not need to know the cause, just what you are noticing.
A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal loads is telling you something about the circuit, the panel, or both. Resetting it without finding the cause does not fix the underlying problem and can create a safety issue over time. Call us and we will trace the fault before recommending any repair.
If a follow-up visit is needed because the original fault was not fully resolved, that is a conversation we have directly. Any additional work is scoped and priced the same way as the original job: explained on the call before anything is scheduled. We do not add charges without telling you what they cover.
A straightforward outlet replacement or switch swap can be done in under an hour. Fault tracing, panel inspections, and circuit installations take longer depending on what the system turns up. Larger projects like panel upgrades or whole-home rewiring are scoped in detail before scheduling so you know what the timeline looks like.
Quick response. Code-correct work. Tidy finish.
When you are ready to schedule, call (979) 356-2994.
We are available every day from 7:30 AM to 8:30 PM. The price is discussed on the call before anything is booked, so you know what the work involves and what it costs before we show up. Whether it is a single outlet or a full panel replacement, the process starts the same way: you call, we scope it, you get a straight answer.
Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle for homes, rentals, and commercial properties in Bryan and across Brazos County. Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and one practical note worth knowing before you call. If a job you need is not listed, call us and we will talk through it.
| Service Type | What the Job Involves | Common Situations | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel and Service Upgrades | Panel replacement and sizing, 100 to 200 amp service upgrade, Subpanel installation, Load calculation before upgrade | Older homes in Bryan adding AC, appliances, or new circuits that the existing panel cannot support | In Bryan, homes built before central air conditioning was standard often carry 100-amp service that no longer matches the load on the system. A load calculation on the call helps confirm whether an upgrade is the right next step. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | Fan wiring and mounting, Switch and remote wiring, Fan replacement on existing boxes, New ceiling box installation | Homeowners adding or replacing ceiling fans in any room | Fans require a ceiling box rated for fan weight and motion. If the existing box is not rated, we replace it as part of the installation. |
| EV Charger Installation | Level 2 charger circuit wiring, 240-volt outlet installation, Panel capacity check before install, Panel upgrade coordination if needed | Homeowners adding an electric vehicle and needing a reliable home charging setup | We confirm panel capacity on the call before scheduling. If the panel needs work to support the new circuit, we cover that as part of the same project. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | Panel and grounding check, GFCI and AFCI coverage review, Outlet and wiring condition assessment, Pre-sale and pre-purchase inspections | Homeowners, buyers, landlords, and property managers who need a clear picture of the electrical condition before a transaction or occupancy | An inspection covers the panel, grounding and bonding, protection device placement, and visible wiring throughout the home. The findings are explained on site. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | Dryer and oven circuit runs, Refrigerator and washer circuits, Workshop and garage circuits, Load sizing before install | Homeowners adding a major appliance or a high-draw workspace that needs its own circuit | Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit is one of the more common causes of nuisance tripping. A dedicated circuit sized to the load solves it at the source. |
| Backup Generator Installation | Transfer switch installation, Generator circuit wiring, Panel connection and testing, Essential circuit hookup | Bryan and Brazos County homeowners who need reliable power through storm-season outages | The transfer switch is what isolates your home from the utility line during an outage. Getting that installation done correctly is the part that matters most for safety and code compliance. |
| Wiring and Circuit Installation | New circuit runs, Rough-in and finish wiring, Older wiring replacement, Whole-home rewiring | Homes with outdated wiring, properties undergoing renovation, or any space that needs new circuits added | Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch-circuit wiring both carry specific risks that come up in older Bryan homes. We address both and walk through the scope before any work begins. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed and LED fixture install, Indoor and outdoor lighting, Exterior and landscape circuit wiring, Commercial fixture installation | Homeowners upgrading interior lighting or adding exterior coverage, and commercial properties needing code-compliant fixture work | Exterior lighting wiring in Bryan needs to account for heat and humidity. Conduit, fittings, and outlet covers rated for outdoor exposure are standard on any exterior installation we do. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-level surge device installation, Full-home circuit coverage, Standalone or combined with panel work, Protection for appliances and electronics | Bryan homeowners in areas with frequent lightning or storm-related power surges | A panel-level surge protection device covers every circuit in the home. A power strip only protects the outlets plugged into it, leaving everything else on the system exposed. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation | Outlet replacement and upgrade, GFCI and AFCI outlet installation, Dimmer switch wiring, Switch replacement | Homeowners, landlords, and property managers updating or repairing outlets and switches | GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas are a code requirement in most installations. We confirm placement meets current requirements. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | Knob-and-tube removal and replacement, Aluminum branch-circuit remediation, Grounding updates, Full or partial rewire scoping | Owners of older Bryan homes whose wiring no longer meets current standards or shows signs of deterioration | A whole-home rewire is a larger project and we walk through the full scope with you before anything is scheduled, so you understand what is involved and what it covers. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting | Dead outlets traced to source, Flickering light diagnosis, GFCI and AFCI fault finding, Circuit testing and confirmation | Any home or property with an unexplained electrical fault | The fault is traced before anything is replaced, so you are not paying to swap parts that were not the problem. |
| Breaker and Fuse Repair | Breaker testing and replacement, Fuse box diagnosis, Panel connection checks, Repeated-trip investigation | Homeowners dealing with breakers that will not hold or a fuse box that keeps causing problems | A breaker that trips immediately after reset often points to a fault in the circuit, not just the breaker itself. We check both. |
| Wiring for Additions and Remodels | Kitchen and bathroom remodel wiring, Room addition rough-in, Code-compliant finish wiring, Circuit updates for new layouts | Homeowners remodeling or adding space who need electrical brought up to current code | Remodel wiring often uncovers conditions in the existing circuits that need attention. We explain what we find before the scope expands. |
Call (979) 356-2994 and we will go through the work with you, give you a straight answer on what it involves, and confirm the price before anything is set.
