Casiano Electric has been part of this community since 2005. We built this business here, and we stand behind every job. From single-family homes in established Bryan neighborhoods to commercial properties across Brazos County, we handle the full range of electrical work that residents and business owners depend on. One number. One call. One electrician at your door.
We've handled everything from a flickering light to a full rewire, and after 21 years in this area, very little surprises us. When we opened in 2005, Bryan's housing stock already included decades of older construction, and the city has kept growing since. We've worked in homes built in the 1950s with wiring that needed full replacement, and we've wired new builds from the ground up. We know the neighborhoods, the common electrical issues that come up in this region's older homes, and the kind of work that keeps a property safe and up to code.
Licensed electricians perform every job we take on. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means we don't cut corners and we don't leave a job until it's done right. Our work spans residential and commercial properties throughout Bryan and the broader Brazos County area, including customers in College Station and the surrounding communities. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
Homeowners across Bryan call us for everything from a single dead outlet to a complete electrical overhaul. Here's a closer look at what we handle on the residential side.
Electrical problems don't always announce themselves clearly. A breaker that keeps tripping, lights that flicker when you run the dishwasher, or an outlet that stopped working can each point to different underlying issues. We start with a thorough diagnostic so we know exactly what we're dealing with before any work begins.
We handle circuit breaker repair and replacement, outlet troubleshooting, and wiring faults. Where appropriate, we upgrade to AFCI or GFCI protection to bring older circuits in line with current safety standards. Getting to the root cause quickly is what keeps a small problem from becoming a bigger one.
Many Bryan homes were built when 100-amp service was the standard. Today's households run significantly more load, and an undersized or aging panel can create real safety concerns. We perform breaker panel replacements, 200-amp panel upgrades, and service entrance work for homes that need more capacity.
We also handle load calculations and subpanel installation when a property needs circuits added in a detached garage, workshop, or addition. For older Bryan homes with outdated equipment, bringing the panel up to code is often the single most impactful electrical upgrade a homeowner can make.
We install outlets of all types: standard, GFCI, AFCI, USB-integrated, 240-volt, and dedicated dryer outlets. On the switch side, we handle dimmer installation, three-way switches, and smart switch wiring. Ceiling fan installation and wiring is one of our most common residential calls, and we handle it whether there's existing wiring or we're running a new circuit.
For lighting, we install recessed and LED fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, and indoor and outdoor fixtures of all kinds. Security lighting, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting round out the exterior work. If you're updating a kitchen, a bathroom, or an outdoor living area, we can handle the electrical side from start to finish.
Bryan has a significant number of homes built before modern wiring standards were in place. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, and two-prong ungrounded outlets are all common findings in older properties here. We handle whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation.
We also perform electrical safety inspections for homeowners who want to understand the condition of their wiring before buying, selling, or renovating. Grounding and bonding work is part of that process when needed. For a home that's been around for 40 or 50 years, a thorough inspection is a straightforward way to know where things stand.
Modern homes put real demands on their electrical systems. Major appliances like ranges, dryers, and refrigerators each need a dedicated circuit to run safely and efficiently. We run dedicated appliance circuits and 240-volt outlets wherever they're needed, including dryer outlet installation for laundry rooms that weren't originally wired for electric appliances.
EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing requests we handle. A Level 2 EV charging circuit gives you a full charge overnight rather than trickle-charging from a standard outlet, and we handle the panel assessment, circuit run, and charger installation from start to finish.
Whole-home surge protection is something every property in this area should consider. A single power surge, whether from a storm, a grid event, or a utility fluctuation, can damage electronics, appliances, and wiring throughout the house. We install whole-home surge protection devices at the panel to give every circuit in the home a layer of defense.
Backup generator hookup and transfer switch installation round out this section. Texas summers and the region's storm season make grid reliability a real concern, and a properly installed transfer switch lets you run critical circuits safely from a generator without back-feeding the grid. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we approach every one of these jobs. Call today and we'll set the appointment.
If you're a business owner, property manager, or landlord in the Bryan area, we handle the commercial side of electrical work with the same attention we bring to residential jobs. Our commercial scope includes office electrical work, retail electrical contracting, commercial lighting installation, commercial panel upgrades, and tenant improvement wiring for spaces being built out or reconfigured.
We understand that downtime costs money. Where scheduling allows, we work around your business hours to minimize disruption. Experienced electricians who respect the property and the business schedule show up to every commercial job we take on. Whether you're managing a single commercial space or a portfolio of rental properties, we're straightforward to work with and easy to reach. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Scheduling an electrician shouldn't be complicated. We provide a clear estimate before work begins so you know what to expect. If anything changes once we're on the job, we communicate that before we proceed. No surprise charges, no invoices that don't match what was discussed.
We offer same-day service options where scheduling allows, and we're available for urgent calls after hours and on weekends. Quick-turnaround jobs like hardwired smoke detector installation, bathroom fan wiring, and electrical safety inspections are easy to get on the calendar. Larger projects like panel upgrades and rewiring get a proper assessment and a straightforward timeline.
Scheduling a service call is simple. Call us, tell us what's going on, and we'll get someone out to take a look.
One number. One call. One electrician at your door.

Yes, work on every job is performed by licensed electricians. We do not send unqualified workers to handle electrical work, because the stakes are too high for shortcuts. Every job is done to current code by people who know what they are doing.
Very familiar. Bryan has a significant number of homes built before modern wiring standards, and we have worked in properties with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, and outdated fuse panels. We know what to look for in older construction and how to bring it up to current standards safely.
Yes. When a job requires a permit, we pull it. Permitted work is inspected and documented, which protects the homeowner and ensures the work meets code. We do not skip that step to save time or money.
We start every job with a diagnosis, explain what we found, and quote only what the situation actually requires. If we find something else worth knowing about, we will mention it, but we do not pressure customers into work they did not ask for. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we operate.
We explain what we find before we start and walk you through the completed work before we leave. If something changes mid-job, we communicate that before proceeding. You will not be surprised by what is on the invoice because we talk through the work as it happens.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work, from a single dead outlet to a complete service upgrade. Whether you are dealing with a tripping breaker, planning a home addition, or looking to add a whole-home generator, we bring the same care to every job. The table below covers what each service includes, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you decide where to start.
| Type of Work | What It Covers | Best For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | rough-in wiring for new spaces, circuit additions for remodels, wiring through final inspection, code-compliant installation throughout | homeowners finishing a room, adding a garage, or expanding a living space | We handle the wiring from rough-in through final inspection so the addition is ready for occupancy without delays. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | dedicated circuit for sump pump, GFCI protection in damp areas, backup circuit options, wiring for basement finishing | homeowners adding a sump pump or finishing a basement space that needs proper electrical coverage | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at the worst moment. A dedicated circuit keeps it running independently of other loads. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | knob-and-tube wiring replacement, aluminum branch circuit remediation, whole-home or partial rewiring, code-compliant wiring throughout | owners of established homes with aging wiring that raises safety or insurance concerns | Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch circuit wiring are common in older Bryan homes and can affect insurance coverage. We assess what is there and explain the options clearly. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED fixtures, security and motion-sensor lighting, landscape and pathway lighting, pendant and chandelier installation | homeowners upgrading interior lighting or adding outdoor security and accent lighting | Outdoor lighting in Brazos County takes a beating from heat and storm moisture. Weatherproof fixtures and proper grounding matter here. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | fan and wiring installation, new ceiling box where needed, switch and remote wiring, replacement of existing fans | any room where a fan is being added for the first time or an old fan needs replacing | If there is no existing wiring in the ceiling, we run the circuit and install a proper fan-rated box before the fan goes up. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | breaker replacement, fuse box troubleshooting, panel fault diagnosis, breaker that will not hold reset | homes or businesses with a breaker that trips repeatedly or a fuse that keeps blowing | A breaker that trips on the same circuit every time points to an underlying fault, not just an overload. We find the cause before replacing anything. |
| EV Charger Installation | dedicated 240-volt circuit, panel capacity check before install, outlet or hardwired Level 2 connection, wiring from panel to garage | electric vehicle owners who want faster home charging without relying on a standard 120-volt outlet | We check your panel's available capacity first. If an upgrade is needed to support the added load, we explain the options before any work begins. |
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, fuse box to breaker panel conversion, subpanel installation, load calculation before any upgrade | homes with an aging or undersized panel that struggles during peak cooling season or when major appliances run together | Bryan summers push electrical systems hard. We size the new panel to your actual load, not just the minimum, so you have room to grow. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | dead outlets and switches, flickering or dimming lights, tripping breakers, circuit diagnosis from panel to fixture | any homeowner or business owner noticing something off with their electrical system | Warm outlets, buzzing sounds, or burning smells are same-day calls. Do not wait on those. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-mounted surge protector installation, protection for all circuits at once, standalone upgrade or add-on with panel work | any home in a region with frequent thunderstorms or grid fluctuations | A power strip only protects what is plugged into it. A whole-home unit at the panel protects every circuit in the house from a single lightning strike or surge. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | whole-home wiring review, panel and grounding check, GFCI and AFCI coverage audit, written findings and recommendations | buyers, sellers, and owners of older homes who want a clear picture of the electrical system's condition | An inspection before a purchase or renovation can surface problems that are far cheaper to address early than after walls are closed up. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | standard and USB outlets, GFCI and AFCI protection, weatherproof exterior outlets, dimmer and smart switches | homeowners adding outlets to a room, upgrading to code-required GFCI protection, or replacing worn receptacles | Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas in Bryan require GFCI protection under current code. Work performed by licensed electricians ensures it goes in correctly. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt circuits for dryers and ranges, circuits for refrigerators and dishwashers, workshop and garage circuits, circuit sizing for the specific appliance | anyone adding a large appliance or upgrading to an electric range who wants to avoid tripped breakers and overloaded wiring | A shared circuit for a high-draw appliance is a common cause of repeated breaker trips. A dedicated circuit sized for the load solves the problem for good. |
| Backup Generator Installation | transfer switch installation, interlock kit hookup, wiring from generator to panel, manual and automatic transfer switches | families and businesses that need power continuity during storms or grid outages | We handle the electrical side: the wiring, the transfer switch, and the panel connection. The result is a safe, code-compliant hookup ready when the grid goes down. |
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
A few signs point clearly to a panel that has reached its limits. If breakers trip regularly when you run the air conditioning alongside other appliances, if you are adding a major appliance or EV charger and the panel has no open slots, or if you have an older fuse box rather than a breaker panel, those are all good reasons to call. We run a load calculation to see what the panel is actually handling before recommending an upgrade, so you get an honest answer rather than a guess.
What causes a breaker to keep tripping on the same circuit?
A breaker that trips repeatedly on the same circuit is usually telling you one of three things: the circuit is overloaded by too many devices, there is a wiring fault somewhere on that run, or the breaker itself is failing. Resetting it without finding the cause is not a fix. We diagnose the circuit first, find out what is actually happening, and then repair or replace what needs attention.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected to code?
Yes. Work performed by licensed electricians follows current electrical code, and we pull permits where the job requires them. Permitted work protects you when you sell the home and ensures the installation is inspected by a third party. We do not skip that step.
Same-Day Availability for Urgent Calls
We keep time open for urgent situations so you are not waiting days when something feels wrong. Call us and we will do our best to get someone out the same day.
How do I know if my older home needs to be rewired?
Homes built before the 1970s may still have knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuit wiring. Both carry real safety concerns and can affect your homeowner's insurance. Signs that rewiring may be needed include outlets with no ground slot, frequent breaker trips with no clear cause, or a home inspection report that flags the wiring type. We can assess what is there and walk you through the options without pressure.
What do I need for a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from your electrical panel to the charger location, typically the garage. Before we install anything, we check your panel's available capacity to confirm it can support the added load. If the panel needs an upgrade to handle it safely, we explain that before any work begins. The installation covers the circuit, the wiring, and the outlet or hardwired connection.
Can you handle generator hookups for my home?
Yes. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: running the wiring from the generator to the panel, installing the transfer switch or interlock kit, and making sure the connection is safe and code-compliant. We work with manual transfer switches, automatic transfer switches, and interlock kits depending on your setup. A proper transfer switch is required to safely connect a generator to your home's wiring.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. You know what the job costs before we pick up a tool, and that number does not change when the invoice arrives.
Do I need to be home when the electrician comes?
For most work, yes. We need access to the panel, the areas where we are working, and the circuit breakers. An adult should be present so we can walk through what we found and get approval before work begins. If your situation requires a different arrangement, call us and we will figure out what makes sense.
How does pricing and quoting work?
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. The fastest way to get a number is to call and describe what you are dealing with. For straightforward jobs, we can often give you a range on the phone. For larger projects, we schedule a visit, assess the scope, and provide a written quote before touching anything. There are no surprise charges added after the fact.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We have seen the wiring challenges that come with both newer construction and homes that have been standing for decades. Whatever the house, we know what to look for and how to handle it.
Do you offer same-day service for urgent electrical problems?
Yes, we keep same-day availability open for urgent calls whenever scheduling allows. If you are dealing with a warm outlet, a sparking panel, a breaker that will not reset, or any situation that feels like a real hazard, call us the same day. Non-emergency work is typically scheduled within the week.
Why would outlets or switches stop working suddenly?
A dead outlet or switch usually has one of a few causes: a tripped GFCI outlet upstream that cut power to a whole run, a loose or failed connection at the device or in the box, or a tripped breaker. Some GFCI outlets protect multiple outlets on the same circuit, so a tripped GFCI in the bathroom can kill outlets elsewhere in the house. If resetting the GFCI does not restore power, or if you cannot find a tripped breaker, that is a good time to call.
What does whole-home surge protection actually do that a power strip does not?
A surge-protecting power strip only covers the devices plugged directly into it. A whole-home surge protector is installed at the main panel and intercepts a voltage spike before it reaches any circuit in the house. In an area where summer thunderstorms roll through regularly, a single nearby lightning strike or a grid fluctuation can damage appliances, electronics, and other equipment in seconds. A panel-level unit protects everything at once.
