Dunamis Electric has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Katy and across Fort Bend County since 2013. Whether you need a fast repair, a full panel upgrade, or a new circuit installed for a major appliance, we send experienced electricians who know this area and know the work. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses of every size. Work performed by licensed electricians on every job, every time.
When you call us, you talk to the people who actually show up.
We take same-day calls when our schedule allows, and we book ahead for planned projects. If something in your home or building is not working the way it should, the right move is to get it looked at before it becomes a bigger problem. Call (346) 514-5328 for a quote and we will get you on the schedule.
Call this morning. Powered this afternoon. That's how we work.
Getting your power back is easier than you think. The hard part is finding the actual cause, and that is exactly what we do first.
Flickering lights, dead outlets, and breakers that keep tripping are among the most common calls we receive. Each one points to something specific: a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a wiring fault somewhere in the system. We do not guess. We run a proper diagnostic, trace the problem to its source, and fix it correctly.
If an outlet is dead, we check for tripped GFCI protection first, then work back through the circuit if the problem runs deeper. We install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations as code requires, and we add AFCI protection where it is needed for arc-fault safety. If you want to add outlets, replace a worn switch, upgrade to USB outlets, or install dimmer switches, we handle all of it.
Grounding and bonding matter more than most homeowners realize. A properly grounded system protects your equipment and the people using it. When we do outlet or switch work, we check the grounding condition of the circuit and flag anything that needs attention.
We also wire and install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, including hardwired units and combination devices. If your detectors are old, battery-only, or not connected to the main system, it is worth a conversation.
We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and nothing on the electrical side of a home or building matters more than the panel.
Older homes in the Katy area often come with 100-amp service that cannot carry the load of a modern household. Air conditioning, electric appliances, EV chargers, and home additions all add demand. We upgrade panels from 100-amp to 200-amp service and handle full electrical panel replacements when the equipment is outdated, damaged, or unsafe. If a single breaker is tripping repeatedly or has failed, we replace it and check the rest of the panel while we are there.
Major appliances need their own circuit. We install dedicated circuits for electric dryers, ranges, ovens, and any 240-volt equipment that requires it. If you are finishing a garage, adding a workshop, or building an addition, a subpanel keeps the new space properly powered without overloading the main panel.
We perform load calculations before any upgrade or addition so the work is sized correctly and meets code. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and that starts with doing the math right before we pull a single wire.
Your panel is in good hands with us.
What sets our electricians apart is straightforward: we treat your home like it matters, because it does.
Ceiling fan installation is one of our most requested jobs, especially in a climate where moving air makes a real difference in comfort. We install fans in bedrooms, living rooms, covered patios, and anywhere else you need one. If there is no existing wiring or switch, we run it.
For lighting, we install recessed LED fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, pendant lights, and any other fixture you have chosen. Recessed lighting in particular makes a big difference in kitchens and living areas, and LED fixtures cut energy use without sacrificing brightness.
Outside, we handle security lighting, motion sensor lights, landscape lighting, and exterior fixtures for both residential and commercial properties. Good outdoor lighting improves safety and extends how you use your property after dark.
If you are remodeling a kitchen, updating a bathroom, or adding square footage, we work alongside your contractor or directly with you to get the electrical side done right. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
Fort Bend County homeowners face a specific set of electrical demands. The Gulf Coast heat puts a heavy load on air-conditioning circuits for months at a time. Hurricane season runs June through November, and the region sees frequent lightning. Backyard pools and outdoor living spaces are common. The electrical work that comes up most often here reflects all of that.
A standby generator is not a luxury in this part of Texas. When a storm knocks out power for days, a properly installed whole-home generator keeps your household running: refrigerator, lights, medical equipment, and the circuits that matter most. We handle the full electrical side of generator hookups, including transfer switch installation, the dedicated circuit feeding the unit, and any panel capacity work needed to support the load. We size the system to your home and wire it to code so it is ready when you need it.
The Gulf Coast sees some of the highest lightning activity in the country, and summer storms roll through Fort Bend County with regularity. A direct strike or even a nearby hit can send a surge through your wiring that damages appliances, electronics, and the circuits that power your HVAC equipment. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and catches those spikes before they reach your devices. We pair surge protection with a review of your grounding and bonding system, because a well-grounded home handles electrical events better at every level.
Year-round heat means pools and spas are a fixture in this area, and pool electrical work requires a careful hand. We wire pool equipment, pump circuits, and hot tub hookups to code, with GFCI protection at every required location. Wet locations demand extra attention to bonding and grounding to keep swimmers safe. We use experienced electricians who respect your home and your property, and we do not cut corners on the safety requirements that govern this kind of work.
Fair price every visit. On time every visit. Code-compliant every visit.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and we work with all types of customers across the area.
For homeowners, we handle everything from a single outlet repair to a full rewire. For landlords and property managers, we help with code violation repairs, failed electrical inspection fixes, and keeping rental units up to standard between tenants. If a property has older aluminum wiring, we can assess it and make the corrections needed to bring it up to current safety requirements.
For commercial clients, we work in offices, warehouses, restaurants, and retail spaces. We handle new construction wiring, tenant build-outs, and electrical upgrades for businesses that are expanding or updating their space.
EV charger installation is a growing part of what we do. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and we run that circuit from your panel with the capacity and breaker to support it. If your panel needs an upgrade to handle the added load, we take care of that too.
Electrical safety inspections give homeowners and buyers a clear picture of what a system looks like and what it needs. If you are buying a home, selling one, or just want to know the condition of your wiring, we can walk through it with you. We show up ready to work.
We've wired this area long enough to know what works, and part of that is making the scheduling process simple.
When you call, we talk through what you need, give you a straight quote, and get you on the calendar. We do not bury costs or add surprises after the job starts. Same-day availability depends on our schedule, but we take those calls when we can and always work to get urgent situations handled quickly. For planned projects, we book ahead and show up when we say we will.
We serve Katy and the surrounding communities throughout Fort Bend County, including Richmond, Rosenberg, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Fulshear, and Brookshire. If you are nearby and need an electrician, give us a call.
We have been doing this work in Katy and Fort Bend County for more than a decade. In that time, we have built a reputation by doing the job right and standing behind it. Every technician we send is a licensed electrician who knows the local code and takes the work seriously. We are locally owned and personally invested in the quality of every job we complete.
We do not take shortcuts, and we do not leave a job site until the work is right. If something comes up after we leave, you can reach us and we will make it right. That is what it means to be part of this community and to care about the work.
The electrician will start by listening to what you have noticed, then run a proper diagnostic to trace the problem to its source. We explain what we found and what the repair involves before any work begins. Once you approve the scope and cost, we get to work and leave the area clean when we are done.
Yes. When a permit is required for the scope of work, we handle the permit process and make sure the job is ready for inspection. Load calculations, panel labeling, and code compliance are part of every panel upgrade and major wiring project we complete.
A transfer switch isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator is running, which protects both your equipment and the utility workers restoring power to the line. Without one, a generator can back-feed power onto the utility line, which is dangerous and against code. We install manual and automatic transfer switches sized for the generator and the circuits it will power.
Breakers that trip constantly, circuits that feel sluggish, no capacity to add a new appliance circuit, and a panel that is 100-amp in a home with heavy modern loads are all clear indicators. We perform a load calculation to confirm what the home actually needs and size the upgrade accordingly.
Many homes in this area were built during periods of rapid growth and were wired for the electrical loads of that era. Today's households run more appliances, larger air-conditioning systems, home offices, and EV chargers, all of which add demand a smaller panel was not designed to handle. We assess the existing system and recommend the right fix, whether that is a panel upgrade, added circuits, or both.
Rewiring becomes necessary when the existing wiring is a safety concern, typically when a home still has knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuit wiring. Both present insurance and safety issues that a repair cannot fully resolve. We replace old wiring with modern copper wiring that meets current code, with as little disruption to the home as possible.
Knob-and-tube wiring lacks a ground wire and was not designed for modern electrical loads. Aluminum branch circuit wiring can loosen at connections over time, which creates heat and a fire risk. Both types are red flags for insurance companies and home inspectors. We assess the extent of the wiring and walk you through the correction options.
GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor locations, and anywhere a circuit is near water. AFCI breakers are required in bedrooms, living areas, and other locations in newer construction and many renovation projects. When we repair or replace outlets and circuits in these areas, we bring the protection up to current code.
If we open a wall or ceiling and find wiring that is in worse condition than expected, or if the panel needs an upgrade to support the work, the scope and cost will change. We stop and explain any new findings before we proceed. You approve the additional work before it starts, and nothing goes on the invoice that you did not agree to.
Yes, we ask that an adult be present during the visit. This allows us to walk you through what we found, get your approval before starting work, and answer any questions as the job progresses. It also ensures we have access to the panel and any areas of the home we need to reach.
Give us clear access to the breaker panel and any outlets, switches, or fixtures we will be working on. If furniture or stored items are blocking the panel or work areas, moving them ahead of time speeds up the job. We will let you know during the scheduling call if anything specific needs to be cleared.
Dunamis Electric is ready to help with any electrical job in Katy, Fort Bend County, and the surrounding communities. Whether it is a repair that needs attention today or a project you are planning for next month, we are here to help you get it done.

Call this morning. Powered this afternoon. That's how we work.
We handle the full range of electrical work that Katy homeowners, landlords, and business owners need, from a tripped breaker to a complete panel upgrade. Every job is performed by licensed electricians who show up on time, explain the work before it starts, and leave the site clean. The table below breaks down what each service covers and who it is built for, so you can find what you need and give us a call.
| Service | Scope of Work | When You Need It | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Generator Installation |
| Fort Bend County homeowners who want reliable power during hurricane season and extended outages | The transfer switch is the critical safety piece. It isolates your home from the utility line so the generator powers your circuits without backfeed risk. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Anyone adding a ceiling fan to a room or replacing an older unit | If there is no existing outlet box rated for a fan, we take care of that as part of the installation so the mount is safe and solid. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Rooms that need more outlets, kitchens and baths needing GFCI protection, or anyone replacing worn devices | GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas are a code requirement and an important safety layer. |
| Electrical Panel Upgrades |
| Homes with aging panels, frequent breaker trips, or added loads from EV chargers or major appliances | A proper load calculation is part of every panel job so the new service is sized correctly for the home and what is plugged into it. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners upgrading interior lighting, adding outdoor security lights, or finishing a renovation | Good exterior lighting improves safety and curb appeal, and we handle the wiring and fixture mounting so the job is done cleanly. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Anyone adding a major appliance or large equipment that needs its own circuit | Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit causes nuisance trips and can shorten the life of the device; a dedicated circuit solves both problems. |
| Wiring & Rewiring |
| Older homes with outdated wiring or any home undergoing a significant addition or renovation | Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch circuit wiring can create insurance and safety concerns; replacing it with modern copper wiring addresses both. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| Home buyers, sellers, landlords, and owners of older homes who want a clear picture of the system | An inspection is a documented look at the system as it actually exists, not a guess, and it gives you a clear list of what needs attention. |
| Surge & Lightning Protection |
| Any Katy-area home exposed to frequent Gulf Coast lightning and storm activity | A whole-home surge protector sits at the panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach appliances, electronics, or the panel itself. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Anyone dealing with a breaker that will not hold or a fuse box that needs attention | A breaker that trips repeatedly is often a sign of an overloaded circuit or a failing device, not just an inconvenience. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| Any homeowner or business owner dealing with a power problem they cannot pin down | We trace the fault to the source before recommending any repair, so you know exactly what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. |
| Pool & Spa Wiring |
| Katy homeowners adding a pool or spa, or any existing pool that has not had its electrical checked recently | Bonding and grounding around water is a code requirement and the primary safety protection for anyone in or near the pool. |
How do I know if my home needs a panel upgrade?
Common signs include breakers that trip repeatedly, a panel that feels warm to the touch, circuits that cannot support new appliances, or a panel that is more than 25 to 30 years old. If you are adding an EV charger, a hot tub, or a major kitchen appliance, we start with a load calculation to see whether the existing service can handle it. If it cannot, an upgrade is the right move before anything else gets added.
What causes a breaker to keep tripping?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is usually telling you something. The most common causes are an overloaded circuit with too many devices drawing power at once, a failing breaker that can no longer hold its rated load, a short circuit in the wiring or a connected device, or a ground fault. We trace the actual cause before recommending a fix, so you are not just resetting the breaker and hoping for the best.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Jobs that require a permit get one, and we follow current code requirements on every job regardless of permit status. That includes GFCI and AFCI protection where required, proper grounding and bonding, and any inspection steps that apply to the scope of work. Work performed by licensed electricians means the job is done to the standard that protects you and your home.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM. When something goes wrong at an inconvenient hour, you can reach us and get it handled without waiting for the next business day.
What are the signs that a home may need rewiring?
Older homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuit wiring are the most common candidates. Beyond wiring type, signs that rewiring may be needed include outlets or switches that are warm or discolored, lights that flicker even after bulbs and fixtures are ruled out, a burning smell with no obvious source, or an insurance company that flags the wiring during a policy review. We assess the wiring during an inspection and give you a straight answer on what we find.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. We start with a panel capacity check to confirm the service can handle the added load, then run the circuit to where the charger will be mounted. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the new circuit, we handle that as part of the project. The result is a clean installation that lets most electric vehicles charge fully overnight without depending on a standard outlet.
Do I need to be home while the work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the areas where work is being done, and we want to walk you through what we found and what we did before we leave. If a job is scoped in advance and you have a trusted person who can provide access, we can discuss the specifics when you call. We will always let you know what the job involves before anything starts.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job on this list is handled by licensed electricians who follow current code requirements. That means the work is done right the first time and stands up to inspection.
How does pricing work and will I get a quote before the work starts?
Yes. We give you a clear quote before any work begins. When you call, we talk through what you are dealing with and what the job involves. Once we are on site and have looked at the actual situation, we confirm the cost before we start. If something changes once we are into the job, we stop and explain it before we proceed. There are no surprises on the invoice.
Why do outlets or switches sometimes stop working?
A dead outlet is often a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream on the same circuit. Before calling, check the GFCI outlets in nearby bathrooms, kitchens, or garages and press the reset button. If that does not restore power, the problem may be a loose connection, a failing outlet, a wiring fault, or a tripped breaker. Switches that stop responding are usually a failed switch, a loose wire at the connection, or occasionally a wiring issue deeper in the circuit.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We tell you what the job costs before we start. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the work, we stop and explain it before we proceed.
Is same-day service available for urgent electrical problems?
Yes. We offer same-day appointments when the schedule allows, and we prioritize urgent situations. We are available every day from 5:30 AM to 10:30 PM, so if something goes wrong in the early morning or evening, you do not have to wait until the next business day. Call us and we will tell you what is available today.
What is whole-home surge protection and is it worth it in this area?
A whole-home surge protector is a device that installs at the panel level and catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits, appliances, and electronics. The Houston metro and Fort Bend County see some of the most frequent lightning activity in the country, and a single surge event can damage a panel, shorten the life of major appliances, and fry sensitive electronics. For homes in this area, it is a high-value install that works quietly in the background every time a storm rolls through.
How long does a panel upgrade typically take?
Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day. The exact time depends on the size of the existing panel, the scope of the upgrade, and whether any additional work is needed, such as grounding improvements or subpanel installation. We will give you a realistic timeframe when we assess the job, and we plan the work to minimize how long the power is off during the process.
