Casiano Electric has been handling electrical work for Bryan homeowners and businesses since 2005. Whether you need a single outlet replaced or a full-panel upgrade, we show up, we diagnose the problem, and we fix it right. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Brazos County. Same-day appointments are available for urgent calls, and we keep our schedule flexible so electrical problems do not have to wait. We built this business here, and we stand behind every job. One number. One call. One electrician at your door.
We've handled everything from a flickering light to a full rewire, and the repair calls in between cover a wide range. When something stops working or starts acting strange, the fastest path forward is a proper diagnosis. We assess the problem, explain what we find, and give you a clear quote before any work begins.
Dead outlets, flickering lights, tripping breakers, and broken switches are the calls we get most often. Each one can point to something different. A dead outlet might be a tripped GFCI, a wiring fault, or a failing connection. Flickering lights often signal a loose wire or an overloaded circuit. A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something about the load on that circuit.
We diagnose, explain what is going on, and fix the source of the problem rather than just the symptom. GFCI outlet repair and replacement is a regular part of our work in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces. If a circuit needs AFCI protection added, we handle that too. Give us a call and we'll get the power sorted.
A breaker that trips repeatedly, one that will not reset, or a fuse box that keeps blowing fuses is a sign the electrical system needs attention. We replace individual breakers, upgrade fuse panels to modern breaker panels, and install arc-fault and ground-fault breakers where code requires them. The work is done by licensed electricians who know what to look for beyond the obvious failure point.
An undersized or aging panel limits everything else on the property. If you are adding circuits, running an EV charger, or just noticing that breakers trip more than they should, the panel is usually where the conversation starts.
Older panels were designed for the electrical loads of a different era. Modern homes run central air, home offices, large appliances, and increasingly EV chargers, all at the same time. A 200-amp service upgrade gives the property the capacity to handle those loads without strain. We handle the full scope: panel replacement, meter base work, service entrance upgrades, and load calculations to confirm the new panel is sized correctly for the property. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we approach every panel job.
Older homes in Bryan sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch wiring that creates real safety concerns. We replace outdated wiring with code-compliant copper wiring, and we handle rewiring for remodels, additions, and garage conversions as well. An electrical safety inspection is a good starting point if you are unsure what you have. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Scheduling an electrician shouldn't be complicated. Whether you need one new outlet or a full lighting upgrade across a remodel, we keep the process simple and the work clean.
We install standard outlets, USB outlets, GFCI outlets, and AFCI outlets throughout homes and rental properties. Outdoor and weatherproof outlets for patios, garages, and carports are a common request. On the switch side, we wire dimmer switches, smart switches, and standard replacements. Landlords and property managers working across multiple units find it easier to run a service call list with us rather than coordinating multiple contractors.
Recessed lighting, LED retrofits, under-cabinet lighting, and general fixture installation are all part of what we do inside the home. Outside, we install security lights, motion sensor lights, flood lights, and landscape lighting. Experienced electricians who respect your home handle every job, which means we protect your walls and ceilings and leave the space clean when we are done. Ceiling fan installation, wiring, and replacement rounds out this category. If the fan needs a new circuit or a wall control wired in, we handle that as part of the same visit.
If you've never hired an electrician before, the idea of a dedicated circuit might sound more complicated than it is. A dedicated circuit simply means one appliance or piece of equipment gets its own breaker and its own run of wire, so it is not competing with everything else on the panel.
We install 240-volt circuits for dryers, ranges, and other large appliances. Level 2 EV charger installation is a growing part of our work, and we handle the wiring, the breaker, and the outlet or hardwire connection. Hot tub wiring, pool electrical, and spa hookups require specific grounding and bonding work that we do to code. Subpanels for garages, workshops, sheds, and additions let you add capacity where you need it without running everything back to the main panel. Give us a ring and consider it handled.
Bryan sits in a climate that puts real demand on electrical systems. Hot summers drive heavy air conditioning loads. Severe thunderstorms roll through Brazos County regularly, and the occasional ice storm can knock out power for days. The three services below come up constantly here because they address exactly those conditions.
Older neighborhoods in Bryan were built when household electrical demand was a fraction of what it is today. A panel that was adequate in 1975 is often undersized for a home running central air, an electric range, a home office, and an EV charger at the same time. We start with a load calculation to understand what the property actually needs, then size and install the panel to match. This is the foundation that makes everything else on the electrical system work reliably.
Texas storm season and the grid reliability questions that have come up in recent years make generator hookups a practical investment for a lot of Bryan homeowners and businesses. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the dedicated circuit, and the wiring that connects the generator to the panel. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means the work is clean, safe, and done to code. Whole-home and partial-home hookup options are both available depending on what you want to keep running during an outage.
Summer thunderstorms in Brazos County can send voltage spikes through the power lines that damage appliances, electronics, and the circuits that feed your home's major systems. A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and catches those spikes before they reach anything downstream. It is a straightforward addition that pairs well with a panel upgrade, and it protects everything connected to the panel including EV chargers and the circuits feeding your HVAC equipment. Call today and we'll set the appointment.
We work across property types and customer types. The approach is the same: show up, diagnose accurately, communicate clearly, and finish the job right.
Homeowners call us for everything from pre-purchase electrical inspections to full remodel wiring. If you are buying a home and want to know what the electrical system looks like before you close, we can walk through the property and give you a clear picture. We also bring older homes up to current code, pull permits where required, and handle smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector wiring. Additions and conversions that need new circuits or panel capacity are a regular part of our residential work.
Small businesses, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and warehouses in the Bryan area rely on us for commercial electrical repair, new circuit installation, and code-compliant wiring for buildouts. Landlords and property managers with multi-unit buildings find us easy to work with because we communicate clearly about what needs to be done and why. We handle bathroom exhaust fan wiring, data and power outlet installation, and commercial electrical inspections for new tenants and ownership transfers.
We are based in Bryan and work throughout Brazos County. College Station is right next door and accounts for a large share of our calls. Beyond the immediate area, we regularly serve Hearne, Calvert, Madisonville, Navasota, and Brenham. If you are nearby and not sure whether we cover your location, just call and ask. We keep our service area practical so we can actually be responsive when you need us. Local crew. Real electrician on the phone. Quick to respond.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and pricing is straightforward. Electrical work varies in scope, so we do not quote a number before we understand what the job involves. What we do is assess the situation and give you a clear quote before any work starts. No surprises after the fact.
We keep same-day availability open for urgent situations, and we work around schedules that do not fit a standard nine-to-five window. Weekend and after-hours calls are part of how we operate, not an exception. Work performed by licensed electricians means you are getting someone who knows the code and knows what they are doing. Call for a quote and we will figure out a time that works.
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently under normal household loads, a fuse box that keeps blowing fuses, lights that dim when large appliances kick on, and a panel that has no room for additional circuits. If you are adding an EV charger, a large appliance, or significant new load, a load calculation will tell you whether the current panel can handle it. We assess the panel and give you a clear picture before recommending any upgrade.
An inspection makes sense before buying or selling a home, after purchasing an older property, before starting a major renovation, or any time you are uncertain about the condition of the wiring. Homes that have not been inspected in many years, or that show signs of outdated wiring, are good candidates. We walk through the property, document what we find, and explain what needs attention.
Flickering or dimming lights can point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a problem at the panel. Occasional flickering when a large appliance starts is common, but persistent flickering or dimming throughout the house is worth investigating. Call us and we will diagnose the cause rather than guess at it.
Older homes were wired for much lower electrical loads than modern households demand. Fewer outlets, smaller panels, and circuits that were never designed for today's appliances mean the system is constantly working at or near its limits. Adding circuits, upgrading the panel, and installing additional outlets are all practical solutions we handle regularly.
Warning signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, buzzing or crackling sounds near the panel, breakers that will not reset, and visible scorching or corrosion on the panel interior. Any of these is a reason to call the same day. A failing panel is a fire hazard, not a wait-and-see situation.
A whole-home surge protector installs at the main panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your circuits. In Brazos County, where summer thunderstorms are frequent and intense, a nearby lightning strike or a grid fluctuation can send a damaging surge through the lines in an instant. A single device at the panel protects every circuit in the home, including the circuits feeding major appliances and EV chargers.
We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the dedicated wiring, and the connection to your panel. Options include manual transfer switches, automatic transfer switches, and interlock kits, depending on your setup and what you want to power during an outage. We do not size or sell the generator itself, but we can discuss what your panel can support before you purchase one.
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from the panel to the charging location, typically a garage or carport. We start by assessing your panel's available capacity, then run the circuit, install the breaker, and connect the charger. The result is a clean, code-compliant installation that lets you charge overnight rather than trickle-charging from a standard outlet.
A full rewire is typically needed when a home has knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuit wiring throughout, when the wiring has deteriorated significantly, or when a major renovation touches most of the home's circuits. A partial rewire makes sense for additions, garage conversions, or when a specific section of the home has wiring that does not meet current standards. We assess the scope and explain the options before any work begins.
Hidden wiring in older walls or ceilings can require more access points, more labor, and sometimes unexpected detours around insulation or structural elements. We assess what we can before opening anything up and communicate clearly if the scope changes once we are inside. Older homes can hold surprises, and we do not proceed with additional work without talking to you first.
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and weekend calls are a normal part of how we operate. Call (979) 356-2994 to discuss scheduling and we will be straightforward about what to expect. We give you a clear quote before work begins so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Yes. Running a new circuit to a ceiling fan location is a routine part of what we do. We handle the wiring, the switch, and the fan installation so the finished job is complete and clean. If you want a wall control or a dimmer added, we wire that in as part of the same visit.
Inside, we install recessed lighting, LED fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, chandeliers, pendant lights, and general fixture replacements. Outside, we handle security lighting, motion sensor lights, flood lights, and landscape lighting for driveways, walkways, and outdoor living areas. If the job requires new circuits or additional panel capacity, we handle that as part of the same project.

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.
