Helpful Electrical Facts for Tyler-Area Property Owners
The East Texas region includes a mix of established neighborhoods, rural properties, and growing commercial areas. Here are a few practical facts that often matter when planning electrical work:
Older homes may need electrical updates.
Many properties have older panels, outdated wiring methods, or limited circuit capacity that does not match modern appliances and HVAC demands.
Panel upgrades can support new additions and equipment.
Remodels, shop buildings, and upgraded kitchens often require additional circuits and improved panel capacity.
Service calls should be handled by a licensed electrician.
Flickering lights, warm outlets, repeated breaker trips, or power loss can indicate underlying issues that need professional diagnosis.
New construction wiring works best with early planning.
When electrical layouts are planned from the beginning, you get better lighting placement, smarter outlet locations, and circuits designed for real-world use.
Commercial projects benefit from coordinated scheduling.
Businesses often need electrical work that respects operating hours, safety requirements, and deadlines.

Common Questions We Hear from Homeowners and Businesses
CB Electric is happy to answer these questions in plain language. Our goal is to help you understand your options before you invest in electrical work.
If you are searching for an electrician in Tyler, Palestine, or Longview, these are some of the most common questions customers ask:
How quickly can you schedule an on-site visit for a free estimate?
In many cases, we can get an on-site visit scheduled within a few days, and most projects fall within a few days to a few weeks depending on the scope and current calendar. If you have a time-sensitive situation, tell us what’s going on and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
Do I need a full panel upgrade, or can my existing panel be repaired or modified safely?
That depends on your panel’s condition, capacity, and what you’re trying to power. During the on-site visit, we’ll look for signs of wear, overheating, improper connections, or limited space for new circuits, then recommend the safest option—whether that’s a repair, a targeted improvement, or a full upgrade.
What causes breakers to trip repeatedly, and how do you diagnose the issue?
Repeated trips can come from overloaded circuits, short circuits, ground faults, failing breakers, or equipment drawing too much power. We diagnose by asking a few key questions, inspecting the panel and affected devices, and testing the circuit to find the real cause—so you’re not paying for guesswork.
Can you handle electrical work for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
Yes. Remodels often need new circuits, safer outlet placement (including GFCI protection where required), lighting updates, and clean wiring routes to match the new layout. We coordinate the electrical work so the space is ready when other parts of the remodel move forward.
Do you provide new construction wiring for additions, garages, and shop buildings?
Yes. We can wire additions and new spaces with practical circuit planning, lighting layouts, and outlet placement that fits how you’ll actually use the area, whether it’s a garage, workshop, or extra living space.
What is included in a service change, and when is it required?
A service change typically involves updating the electrical service equipment to safely deliver power to the property—often tied to capacity increases, aging equipment, or safety concerns. If your project adds major electrical loads or your existing service isn’t meeting current needs, we’ll explain what’s required and why.
Do you work on commercial properties and tenant improvements?
Yes. CB Electric supports commercial spaces and tenant improvements on a project basis. We’ll review the scope, talk through timelines and access, and plan the work to keep the site safe and the project moving.
Do you offer emergency help outside of normal business hours?
We do accept 24-hour requests for urgent electrical needs. If you have a safety concern or loss of power, call and tell us what’s happening so we can advise you and discuss next steps.
What kind of warranty do you provide on completed work?
CB Electric provides a 30-day workmanship warranty, and many repair jobs include up to a six-month repair warranty (as applicable). We’ll confirm what applies to your specific job when we quote the work.
