Wesson Electrical Services has been the electrical contractor Balch Springs residents and businesses call when the job needs to be done right. Founded in 2005, we have spent 21 years building a reputation across Dallas County one job at a time, from quick outlet repairs to full panel upgrades and everything in between. We live and work in this community, and it shows in our work.
Whether you need same-day help with a tripped breaker or you are planning a full rewire before a home sale, we keep scheduling flexible so you can get on the calendar fast. Residential homeowners, commercial property managers, landlords, and small business owners all count on us for reliable electrical work performed by licensed electricians who know the local codes and take pride in clean, safe results.
Getting your electrical problem handled starts with a quick call. Reach out to (945) 429-1659 to schedule service or request a quote.
Whether it's a single outlet or a full panel upgrade, we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work. Our team troubleshoots problems, installs new circuits, upgrades outdated panels, and brings wiring up to current code. We work on everything from older homes with aging wiring to new construction additions that need dedicated circuits from the ground up.
Core services include:
Every job gets a clear explanation of what we found, what we recommend, and what it will cost before any work begins. We'll find the fault and fix it right.
Homeowners in Balch Springs call us for all kinds of electrical issues, and the most common ones tend to follow a familiar pattern. Lights that flicker when the AC kicks on. Outlets that stopped working after a storm. Breakers that trip every time you run the microwave and the coffee maker at the same time. These are signs that something in the system needs attention, and ignoring them usually makes the problem worse.
We handle the everyday repairs, and we also take on the bigger projects that older homes often need. If your house was built before the 1980s, there is a real chance the wiring has not kept pace with the load modern households put on it. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, and panels that were sized for a fraction of today's electrical demand are all things we see regularly. We assess what is there, explain the options, and help you decide on a path forward.
Electrical safety inspections are a smart step for any homeowner who is not sure what condition the wiring is in, and they are especially useful for buyers going through the purchase process. Grounding and bonding, arc-fault and ground-fault breaker upgrades, and whole-home rewiring are all part of what we do. Trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their electrical work, we bring the same careful approach to every house we walk into. We'll make your wiring safe again.
Choosing the right electrical fix is easier than it sounds, especially when you have a contractor who understands commercial work as well as residential. We serve property managers, business owners, and general contractors throughout the area, handling the electrical side of office buildouts, retail renovations, and commercial repairs.
Commercial jobs often involve more complexity than a standard home service call. Panel capacity, load calculations, service-entrance upgrades, and subpanel installation all factor into keeping a commercial property running reliably. We work through those details methodically so the finished installation meets code and holds up under real-world demand.
If you manage multiple units or properties, we understand that downtime costs money. We schedule commercial work with that in mind, coordinate around your tenants or business hours where possible, and communicate clearly at every step. Give us a ring and consider it handled.
More Balch Springs homeowners are adding electric vehicles, and a Level 2 home charging station is the practical way to keep one charged overnight without relying on a standard wall outlet. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which means the installation involves running new wiring, adding a breaker to the panel, and mounting the charging unit in your garage or driveway area. We assess your panel capacity first to confirm it can handle the added load, then handle the full circuit installation. The result is a charger that fills your battery overnight instead of over two days.
Texas storm season is real, and so is the strain that summer heat puts on the grid. When power goes out, a properly wired backup generator keeps the lights on, the refrigerator running, and critical systems powered. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the wiring from the generator to your panel, and any panel work needed to support the load. A transfer switch is what keeps utility power and generator power safely separated, and it is not optional. We install it correctly so the system works when you actually need it.
Dallas County sees its share of storms, and even a moderate voltage spike can damage electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment. A whole-home surge protector installs at the main panel and catches surges before they reach your devices. It works alongside the point-of-use protectors you may already have, adding a first line of defense at the source. For homes with newer appliances, smart-home equipment, or a home office setup, the protection is worth it. We install whole-home surge protection as a standalone job or as part of a larger panel upgrade.
We started in 2005 with a straightforward idea: do good electrical work, be honest with customers about what they need, and show up when you say you will. Two decades later, that approach has not changed. What has changed is the scope of what we handle, the types of properties we work on, and the size of the customer base that keeps calling us back.
Over those 21 years, we have worked in single-family homes, rental properties, small commercial spaces, and everything in between. We have rewired houses that had not been touched since the 1960s, upgraded panels that were undersized for the loads being asked of them, and handled the kind of odd troubleshooting jobs that take experience to diagnose. That history means we have probably seen something similar to whatever you are dealing with.
We serve Balch Springs and the surrounding communities throughout Dallas County, including Mesquite, Garland, Sunnyvale, Seagoville, Hutchins, Wilmer, and nearby areas. The kind of electrical work neighbors pass along by word of mouth is the kind we aim to deliver on every job. We'll have your outlets working again in no time.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and we back that up with same-day availability and after-hours service for situations that cannot wait. When you call, we talk through what is going on, give you a clear picture of what the job involves, and provide a quote before any work starts. No surprises when the invoice arrives.
Pricing is explained upfront, including what happens if we open a wall and find something unexpected. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we handle every job, whether it is a single outlet replacement or a full panel upgrade. We answer the phone. We dispatch the electrician. We keep it simple.

| Electrical Service | What the Job Involves | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring for Additions and Remodels |
| homeowners mid-remodel or planning an addition who need an electrician involved early | Getting the wiring roughed in before walls close saves significant time and cost. We work alongside contractors and can coordinate scheduling around your project timeline. |
| Electrical Panel Upgrades |
| homes with an undersized or aging panel that cannot keep up with modern electrical demand | North Texas summers push AC loads hard, and older panels were not built for today's appliance mix. A load calculation before the upgrade tells you exactly what size service your home needs. |
| Basement and Sump-Pump Circuits |
| homeowners adding or upgrading a sump pump or finishing a basement space | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at exactly the wrong moment. A dedicated circuit with proper GFCI protection is the right way to wire this work. |
| Breaker and Fuse Repair |
| homes and businesses with an older panel or a breaker that will not hold | A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. We diagnose the cause before replacing hardware so the fix actually solves the problem rather than masking it. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| homeowners with sensitive electronics, appliances, or HVAC equipment to protect | Texas thunderstorm season runs long, and a single nearby lightning strike can send a damaging voltage spike through your wiring. Panel-level protection stops the surge before it reaches any device in the house. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation |
| homeowners adding capacity or replacing damaged or non-code outlets | Kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas require GFCI protection under current code. If your home is older, a quick inspection can show you where you stand. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| homeowners adding a fan to a room or replacing an older unit | Rooms without an existing ceiling box need a rated fan brace installed before mounting. We handle that as part of the same visit so there are no follow-up trips. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners adding a major appliance or converting a garage or workshop space | Major appliances need their own circuit to run safely and efficiently. Sharing a circuit with other loads can cause nuisance tripping and, over time, wiring damage. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| homebuyers, property managers, and owners of homes that have not been inspected in years | Balch Springs has a range of housing ages, and some older homes carry wiring that has not been looked at in decades. An inspection gives you a clear picture of what you have and what, if anything, needs attention. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting |
| any homeowner or business owner with an unexplained electrical problem | Repeated tripping or a burning smell near a panel or outlet should not wait. These symptoms often point to a wiring fault or failing breaker that can become a fire hazard if left unattended. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners upgrading interior lighting or adding outdoor security lighting | Exterior lighting wiring needs to be weatherproofed and grounded correctly. We handle the full installation so the fixture and the wiring behind it are both done right. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| EV owners who want reliable overnight home charging | If your panel is already near capacity, we assess it before the charger goes in. That way the installation is done right from the start and there are no surprises later. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| homeowners and businesses who need reliable power during storms or grid outages | Dallas County sees severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and ice events that can knock out power for days. A properly wired transfer switch keeps the generator from back-feeding the grid, which is a serious safety requirement. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| owners of older Dallas County homes with outdated or ungrounded wiring | Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch-circuit wiring are not just code concerns. They carry real fire and shock risks that modern wiring eliminates. Work is performed by licensed electricians familiar with older housing stock. |
What are the signs that my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
Breakers that trip often, a panel that feels warm to the touch, lights that dim when large appliances kick on, and a fuse box that has not been updated in decades are all signs worth paying attention to. Homes in the Dallas area were often built with panels sized for far less demand than a modern household draws. If you are adding an EV charger, a hot tub circuit, or central air to an older home, a load calculation will tell you whether your current service can handle it.
Why does my breaker keep tripping even after I reset it?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is responding to something real: an overloaded circuit, a wiring fault, or a breaker that is failing on its own. Resetting it without diagnosing the cause does not fix the underlying problem and can create a fire hazard over time. The right move is to stop resetting it and call an electrician to trace the fault.
Is electrical work in Balch Springs permitted and inspected?
Most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit and inspection under Texas and local code. We handle the work to code on every job, and we can walk you through what the permit process involves for your specific project. Permitted work also protects you when it comes time to sell the home.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job we take on is handled by licensed electricians who know the code and know how to do the work safely. That applies to a single outlet replacement and a full panel upgrade alike.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is still safe?
Age alone does not make wiring unsafe, but certain types of older wiring, including knob-and-tube and aluminum branch-circuit wiring, carry risks that modern wiring does not. Signs of concern include outlets that are warm or discolored, a burning smell near switches or the panel, or circuits that trip without an obvious cause. An electrical safety inspection gives you a clear picture of what is in your walls and whether anything needs to be addressed.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which is the same type of circuit a dryer or range uses. We run the circuit from your panel to the garage or wherever you park, install the outlet or hardwire the charger, and verify the panel has the capacity to carry the added load. If an upgrade is needed, we handle that first so the installation goes in correctly from the start.
Do I need to be home while the work is being done?
For most jobs, yes, we need access to the panel and the areas where we are working. For larger projects like a panel upgrade or a rewire, having someone available to answer questions during the job helps things move smoothly. We will let you know at booking what access we need so there are no delays on the day of the visit.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear number before any work begins, and we do not change it without your approval. If we find something unexpected, we explain it and get your go-ahead before we proceed.
How does pricing work, and will the quote change after the electrician arrives?
We give you a clear quote before any work starts and we stick to it. If we open a wall or panel and find something unexpected that changes the scope of the job, we explain what we found and what it costs before we proceed. You are never committed to work you have not approved.
What is the risk of a warm or buzzing outlet?
A warm outlet or one that buzzes or sparks when you plug something in is a sign of a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that is deteriorating. These are not cosmetic issues. They are fire and shock hazards that need to be looked at by an electrician, not left alone or covered with a new face plate.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep scheduling flexible and have same-day availability on most jobs. For situations that cannot wait, we take after-hours calls and do our best to get someone out quickly.
How does whole-home surge protection work, and is it worth it?
A whole-home surge protector installs at your main panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach any outlet or appliance in the house. Texas thunderstorm season is long, and surges from nearby lightning strikes can damage appliances, electronics, and the equipment connected to your HVAC circuits in seconds. Panel-level protection is the most effective first line of defense, and it does not interfere with anything else in your electrical system.
What should I know about aluminum wiring in older homes?
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring was common in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. It expands and contracts more than copper, which can loosen connections over time and create heat and fire risks at outlets and switches. Remediation does not always mean a full rewire. In many cases, we can use approved connectors and devices to bring the system to a safe standard. An inspection will tell you what your home has and what the right approach is.
How long does a panel upgrade or home rewire take?
A panel upgrade typically takes one day for a straightforward residential job, though homes that need a service-entrance upgrade or significant panel work may run a bit longer. A whole-home rewire is a larger project and usually takes several days depending on the size of the home and the condition of the existing wiring. We give you a realistic timeline before we start so you can plan around it.
