Panel upgrade in Midtown, Houston

Midtown is a dense neighborhood between downtown and Montrose, with apartments, townhomes and a few older houses left among new construction. It is also close to Hermann Park, the Museum District and the Texas Medical Center, so many owners here rent homes out or work long hours.

Most calls from Midtown are for panel work. Townhomes built in the 2000s often have smaller panels that are full, with no room for a new circuit. When owners add a second AC, an electric range or an EV charger, the panel hits its limit. A panel swap or a subpanel solves it without a full rewire.

Older houses and small apartment buildings may still have fuse panels, shared meter banks or ungrounded circuits. Those need careful planning, and sometimes landlord or HOA approval. We work out the plan first, then give a price in writing.

Street parking and tight alleys affect planning. We tell you what to expect for power outages and keep the power-off window short. Each upgrade has a City of Houston permit and a final inspection before CenterPoint reconnects service.
