James Williams
Electrician
Master electrician with 22 years experience, born and raised in Plano. I specialize in panel upgrades for the 1980s homes east of US-75 — many still have the original 100-amp Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that are fire hazards. I have replaced over 300 panels in Collin County. If your breakers trip constantly or your lights flicker, call me before it becomes a fire.

Reviews
Federal Pacific panel replacement - East Plano (Electrical)
James replaced our Federal Pacific panel and I sleep better at night. He showed us how the old breakers were not tripping — terrifying. The new Square D panel is clean, labeled, and has a whole-home surge protector. Best money we ever spent.
Response
Thank you Larry and Debbie! Federal Pacific panels are genuinely dangerous and I am glad we got yours replaced. Peace of mind is priceless.
200A panel upgrade and EV circuit - Deerfield (Electrical)
Panel upgrade and EV charger install in one visit. James planned it all out in advance so the power was only off for 2 hours. Very organized, very professional. Tesla charges perfectly.
Response
Thanks Scott! Planning the panel layout in advance means less downtime for you. Enjoy the Tesla charging.
Whole-house rewire - 1982 home (Electrical)
James rewired our 1982 house and it was a huge project. He was there every day on time, cleaned up every evening, and the final result is perfect. Our insurance company was thrilled we got rid of the aluminum wiring.
Kitchen remodel electrical - Legacy West area (Electrical)
Great kitchen remodel electrical work. Had to coordinate around the countertop guys but James was flexible and made it work. Under-cabinet lighting looks amazing.
Response
Thanks Diana! Kitchen remodel coordination is always a dance but the under-cabinet lighting was worth the effort.
Generator transfer switch install (Electrical)
After winter storm Uri we knew we needed a generator setup. James installed the transfer switch and walked us through exactly how to connect the generator. Peace of mind for the next storm.
Response
Thank you Robert and Jean! After Uri, having a generator setup is just smart. Hope you never need it but you will be ready.
