- Outlets or a whole room stopped working
- Lights flicker or dim when the AC kicks on
- GFCI will not reset, or trips constantly
- Buzzing, warm, or discolored outlets and switches
- Burning smell at the panel or a device
- Panel is full, old, or a brand the inspector flagged

Get ready for the season
Before the next outage, and before the holidays
Backup power for every budget, protection for what you already own, and lighting that goes up once.
Keep the power on when the grid goes down
A standby generator starts on its own within seconds of an outage and runs your home until the power comes back. No extension cords, no refueling in the cold.
- Sized to what you actually need to run
- Transfer switch and electrical tie-in
- Gas hookup coordinated with a licensed plumber
- Yearly maintenance so it starts when you need it
No more ladders every December
App-controlled LED lighting mounted along your roofline. Set it for the holidays, game days, or everyday accent lighting, all year long.
- Low-profile track that blends into the trim
- Colors, scenes, and schedules from your phone
- Installed and wired by licensed electricians
- Book now to have it up before the holidays
Already own a generator? Run your house off it safely
An interlock kit and outdoor inlet let you plug a portable generator into your panel and power the circuits you choose. No extension cords through the windows, and the interlock keeps power from feeding back into the utility line.
- Interlock kit and inlet matched to your panel and generator
- Fridge, freezer, lights, furnace blower, and internet on one cord
- A fraction of the cost of a standby system
- We walk you through the switchover
Protect everything that plugs into your house
Lightning, grid switching, and power coming back after an outage all send spikes through your wiring. A surge protector at the panel takes the hit so your HVAC, appliances, and electronics do not.
- Mounts at the panel and covers every circuit in the home
- Guards HVAC, well pumps, appliances, TVs, and computers
- Installed in about an hour, often paired with generator or panel work
- Models with a connected equipment warranty available

What customers say
Rated 5.0 across 43 Google reviews
Thorough and professional. He communicated consistently throughout the entire process. From the moment I called, I got email and text notifications, appointment reminders, and I was able to ask questions. Chris installed 4 dedicated circuits in my garage and wired in a mini split. I can't recommend CWC Electric enough.
Chris and his team installed a whole house surge protector and two A/C soft starts. Very quick and professional install. Highly recommend him for your electrical needs.
I had a handful of electrical chores I needed tackled. I reached out to CWC based on a neighbor's recommendation. Glad I did. Chris was awesome! Great, honest communication throughout the process. He provided a quote that gave a detailed description of the scope of work to be done. The work was done neatly and in a timely manner. He even cleaned up all of the drywall dust!

Common questions
Straight answers before you call
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Usually one of three things: the circuit is overloaded, something plugged in has a fault, or the breaker itself is worn out. Occasionally it's a loose connection or damaged wire, which is the one you don't want to ignore. A troubleshooting visit finds the cause and we quote the fix before doing anything.
How much does an electrician cost in Temple, TX?
Every job is priced flat rate, not by the hour, and you get one written price before we start. Small jobs are quick and priced that way. Panel upgrades, generators, EV chargers, and remodels depend on your existing setup and how far the wire has to run, so we look at it first, then quote it. If we find a problem behind the work you called about, we'll show you and price the fix separately. If something changes, you hear about it before it costs anything.
What size standby generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run during an outage. Most homes in our area land between 18 and 26 kW to carry the AC, well pump, refrigerator, and lights. We do a load calculation on site and size it to what you actually need instead of guessing.
Can I hook my portable generator up to my house?
Yes, with an interlock kit and an outdoor inlet installed on your panel. It lets you power the circuits you choose through one cord while keeping the generator from feeding back into the utility line. It's a fraction of the cost of a standby system.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers for every brand, including hardwired Tesla Wall Connectors and 14-50 outlets for plug-in units. The visit includes a load calculation to confirm your panel can handle it.
How fast can you schedule?
Most repair and troubleshooting visits are scheduled within a few days. Larger projects are scheduled once you approve the written price. We reply to every request within one business day.
Are estimates free?
Yes for repair, remodel, generator, EV, and new construction work. The one exception is estimates requested during a real estate option period or for pre-purchase inspections. Those are consulting visits with a fee, since they take the same site assessment as any other estimate.
