Cleburne Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work in Cleburne, Texas and throughout Johnson County. Whether you need a quick repair on a dead outlet, a full panel upgrade, or a dedicated circuit for a new appliance, this is the number to call. The work covers everything from everyday troubleshooting to larger rewiring and installation jobs, and it covers both homes and commercial properties. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and that starts with understanding what the job actually involves before anyone shows up.
Getting your power back is easier than you think. Most electrical problems in a home come down to a handful of symptoms: dead outlets, flickering lights, a breaker that keeps tripping, a burning smell near a switch or panel, a sparking outlet, or a section of the house that suddenly has no power. Each of those symptoms points somewhere specific, and that is where we start.
A diagnostic visit means tracing the fault before anything is replaced. We do not swap parts on a guess. If an outlet is dead, we check whether it is a tripped GFCI upstream, a failed device, a loose connection, or a wiring fault further back in the circuit. If a breaker trips repeatedly, we look at the load on that circuit, the condition of the breaker itself, and whether the wiring feeding it is sized correctly. AFCI protection on bedroom and living area circuits and GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations are part of this work too, whether that means replacing a faulty device or adding protection where it was never installed.
The fault traced before anything is replaced is the standard we hold every diagnostic call to. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that is exactly the right time to call. Older homes in Cleburne and across Johnson County often carry panels that were sized for a fraction of what a modern household demands. A 100-amp service that was adequate decades ago may not support a modern kitchen, a home office, an EV charger, and central air on the same panel without running at or near capacity.
We handle 200-amp panel upgrades and full service upgrades, breaker panel replacements, and fuse box replacements. If the panel is the issue, we scope what the new service needs to carry and confirm the upgrade covers it. Subpanel installation for garages, additions, or outbuildings falls in this category too, along with the load calculations that go with it.
Whole-home rewiring is a separate job but often comes up in the same conversation. Homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, or wiring that has simply reached the end of its serviceable life need more than a panel swap. We replace the wiring throughout, bring the circuits up to current standards, and leave the panel in a position to handle what the home actually draws. We'll get the job wired and finished.
What sets this service apart is straightforward: we cover the full range of outlet, switch, and lighting work, not just the simple swaps.
Outlet work includes standard receptacle installation, GFCI and AFCI outlets, USB outlets, 240-volt outlets for dryers and ranges, and outdoor or weatherproof receptacles for garages and exterior walls. Switch work covers standard replacements, dimmer installations, and multi-way switch wiring where a light needs to be controlled from more than one location.
Lighting installation runs from recessed cans and under-cabinet strips to outdoor and security fixtures, landscape lighting, and hardwired fixtures throughout the home. Each of these jobs involves running wire, making connections at the panel or a junction point, and confirming the circuit is properly protected. Ceiling fan installation and replacement rounds out this category, including the wiring and box work needed when a fan goes where a standard light fixture was before.
Call us and we'll walk you through the fix.
The wiring around here has its own patterns, and a number of the calls we get are about adding capacity rather than fixing a fault. Dedicated circuits come up often: a refrigerator, a chest freezer, a microwave, a dishwasher, or a washer and dryer each runs better on its own circuit rather than sharing one with other loads. Garage and basement wiring, circuits for additions and remodels, and 240-volt circuits for larger appliances all fall here.
EV charger installation is a growing part of this work. A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and, in many cases, a panel capacity check before anything is installed. We confirm the panel can carry the load, run the circuit, and install the outlet or hardwired connection the charger needs.
Whole-home surge protection handles the voltage spikes that reach a home through the utility feed. A surge protector installed at the panel covers every circuit in the house, not just the outlets where individual plug-in strips are used.
Backup generator hookups involve the electrical side of the connection: the transfer switch, the circuit from the panel to the transfer switch, and the connection point for the generator itself. We handle the wiring and the switching equipment. The generator unit is a separate piece of equipment outside this scope. Electrical service scheduled without the runaround is what we aim for on every one of these calls.
We work with property managers, landlords, and commercial clients across Cleburne and Johnson County. Tenant buildouts, electrical rough-in for new construction, additions, and code-compliance work are all part of the commercial side of what we do.
Rental property electrical service is a regular part of the schedule. Landlords need outlets replaced, panels inspected, circuits added for new appliances, and wiring brought up to current standards between tenants or after a renovation. Hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are part of the inspection and installation work we do for rental properties and owner-occupied homes alike.
With a local company, a question about the work gets a straight answer. When a property manager calls about a unit with an electrical fault, we can talk through what the symptom likely points to and what a visit will cover before anything is booked. Commercial clients get the same clarity on scope and pricing that residential customers do.
An electrical safety inspection covers the panel condition, the age and type of wiring throughout the home, grounding and bonding, outlet and breaker testing, and exterior wiring. It is the kind of check that gives a buyer, a seller, or a landlord a clear picture of what the electrical system is doing and what it may need.
Older homes in Cleburne and across Johnson County benefit most from a thorough inspection, particularly where the wiring has not been touched in decades or where previous work was done without permits. An inspection will flag missing GFCI or AFCI protection, undersized wiring, double-tapped breakers, and other conditions that create risk or affect insurability. Whole-home surge protection status and the condition of any existing surge equipment are part of what we look at.
The work area is left as it was found after every inspection, and you get a plain-language account of what was found and what it means. Call us and we'll walk you through what an inspection covers at your address.
Cleburne has a wide mix of housing ages, and that mix shapes what electrical work looks like here. Older neighborhoods carry homes built when 60-amp and 100-amp service was the standard, with panels that have not been touched since original construction. Some of those homes still have fuse boxes. Others have had panels replaced but retain older branch circuit wiring that was never updated when the panel was swapped.
Knob-and-tube wiring turns up in the oldest homes, and aluminum branch circuit wiring is common in homes built during a period when copper prices pushed builders toward it. Both require specific handling: aluminum connections in particular need the right devices and the right termination method to stay safe over time. We know what to look for when we open a panel or pull a device in a home that has been through multiple decades of ownership and piecemeal updates.
We serve Cleburne as the primary service area and take calls throughout Johnson County and the surrounding communities. That includes Burleson, Joshua, Alvarado, Keene, Crowley, and Venus, along with the rural and semi-rural properties between those towns.
We are open daily from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. Emergency calls for electrical faults are answered during those hours, and short-notice work is part of the regular schedule. If you have an urgent fault, call and ask what is available. Real experience. Local knowledge. Ready to wire.
Pricing on electrical work depends on what the job involves: the scope of the repair or installation, the panel size, the type of wiring, and whether any permit work is required. There is no single rate that covers every job, and a quote that does not account for those factors is not a useful one.
When you call, we go through what the job involves and give you a price before anything is scheduled. You can ask what the quote covers and what it does not, and you will get a straight answer. That applies whether you are calling about a single outlet replacement or a full panel upgrade and rewiring project.
The price is confirmed before we schedule, and the same number you called to book the job is the number to call if you have questions afterward.
We work with homeowners dealing with a single problem circuit and with property managers handling electrical issues across multiple units. Business owners needing commercial electrical repair, new circuit work, or a pre-lease safety inspection are also a regular part of the schedule. The scope of the job is different for each, but the process of scoping the work and confirming the price before anything starts is the same across all of them.
Every diagnostic visit starts with tracing the fault before anything is replaced. If a breaker keeps tripping, we look at the load on that circuit, the condition of the breaker, and the wiring feeding it before we reach for a replacement. That approach keeps the scope of the work honest and avoids charging for components that were never the problem.
Cleburne has a wide mix of housing ages, and the electrical issues that come with that mix are a regular part of what we see. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, undersized service entrances, and panels that have never been updated since original construction all show up in the older neighborhoods here. We know what to look for when we open a panel or pull a device in a home that has been through decades of ownership and piecemeal updates.
Before we leave, we test the circuit or device that was worked on, confirm that any GFCI or AFCI protection is functioning, and verify that the repair or installation holds under normal conditions. The work area is left as it was found, and we explain what was done in plain language before we go.
Call us at (682) 496-2395 and describe what is happening.
If the same fault returns, we want to know about it and will go through what the symptom points to on the call. The fault is traced before anything is replaced, and that standard applies to a callback the same as it does to the original visit.
Whether a permit is required depends on the scope of the work and the jurisdiction, and we confirm what applies at your address before the job starts. We handle the electrical side of the permit process for the jobs that require it, and we can explain on the call what the permitting situation looks like for your specific project.
Note where the problem shows up, when it started, whether it is consistent or intermittent, and anything that changed around the time it first appeared. A new appliance on the circuit, a recent storm, or a repair done by someone else are all details that help us understand the fault faster. The more specific you can be, the more useful the phone conversation will be before we schedule the visit.
It means the call is answered by someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone, and that questions about the work get a direct answer. With a local company, a question about the work gets a straight answer rather than going through layers to reach someone who can help. The scope and the price are confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the job is explained before it starts.
When you need electrical work in Cleburne or anywhere in Johnson County, Cleburne Electrical Company is the number to call. Whether it is an urgent repair, a panel upgrade you have been putting off, or an EV charger installation you want to plan out, the process starts with a phone call.
