Service Areas
Electrician in Hunt, Texas
Hunt sits at the forks of the Guadalupe River about 12 miles west of Kerrville, and the electrical work here looks different from what you’d find in town. Long runs from the panel to docks, boathouses, and detached cabins. Vacation homes that sit empty for stretches and need to come back online without surprises. Camps and guest ranches with mixed-use buildings and seasonal loads. Full-time residences on acreage with wells, shops, and outbuildings spread across the property. Texas Highlands Electric handles residential and light commercial electrical work throughout the Hunt area, working with full-time owners, part-time owners, property managers, and contractors.
Electrical Services in Hunt
Troubleshooting & Electrical Repairs
For homes and small commercial properties, we diagnose intermittent issues — breakers that trip under specific loads, outlets that quit without a tripped breaker, flicker tied to particular appliances — by testing the circuit under real use rather than guessing from the symptoms.
Lighting & Fan Installation
Camps, lodges, and guest ranches have a mix of older infrastructure, seasonal load patterns, and code requirements that differ from a single residence. We work on cabin wiring, dining hall and kitchen circuits, exterior lighting, panel and subpanel work, and the kind of staged projects that have to happen on a tight off-season window.
Panel Service & Electrical Panel Upgrades
A lot of Hunt-area properties have panels that were wired for a smaller load than they’re now carrying — added HVAC, well pumps, shop equipment, hot tubs, EV chargers. We check the panel under actual load and tell you whether a breaker fix, a repair, or a full upgrade is what the system needs.
Construction & Remodel Wiring
We wire additions, kitchen and bath remodels, guest cabins, shops, and new construction, including service entrance, panel and subpanel work, branch circuits, and rough/finish phases coordinated with framers and inspectors.
Home Automation & Controls
Smart switches, dimmers, and lighting controls installed with the right wiring and device compatibility — particularly useful for part-time and rental properties where the owners aren’t on-site to troubleshoot.
EV Charger Installation (Level 2)
EV chargers on riverfront and acreage properties usually mean a longer run from the panel to the carport or garage. We size the wire and breaker for the distance, confirm panel capacity, and install with the right protection.
Generator Installation
Hunt sees longer outage windows than properties closer to Kerrville — distance from substations, storm exposure, and terrain all play in. We install generator electrical components and transfer equipment sized for the loads you actually need to keep running: well pumps, refrigeration, HVAC, and critical circuits.
Solar Installation Support
We provide solar-related electrical support when needed, including system-ready upgrades and safe connections.
Commercial Electrical Services
Docks, boathouses, decks, pump houses, and exterior outlets on river properties take more weather and water exposure than typical residential work. We install and repair these on weather-rated fixtures, properly protected circuits, and the right GFCI/AFCI configuration for outdoor environments.
Common Electrical Issues We See in Hunt
The mix of riverfront, vacation, camp, and full-time residential work produces a recognizable set of calls:
- Outdoor outlets and dock circuits that trip GFCIs or quit between visits
- Vacation homes where exterior lighting, HVAC, or smart systems have failed since the owner was last on-site
- Well pumps and irrigation circuits dimming lights or tripping breakers at startup
- Panels running near capacity when adding hot tubs, HVAC zones, or EV chargers
- Cabin and outbuilding circuits that work intermittently or fail under load
We diagnose what’s actually happening before recommending a fix.
What to Expect From Texas Highlands Electric
We diagnose before we quote. You’ll know what’s wrong, what we’d do about it, and roughly what it costs before we start any work. Everything is wired to code, secured properly, and tested under load before we leave. For camps and commercial properties, we schedule around your operating calendar; for vacation homes, we coordinate with property managers when owners are out of state.
Hunt Electrical FAQs
My vacation home keeps having electrical problems when I'm not there. Can you do a walk-through?
Yes. We can inspect outlets, exterior fixtures, GFCIs, the panel, HVAC connections, and smart systems to identify what’s likely to fail and fix it before the next trip up. We also coordinate with property managers if you’re out of state.
Can you wire a new dock, boathouse, or pump house?
Yes. We handle outdoor circuits, GFCI protection, weather-rated fixtures, and code-compliant wiring for docks, boathouses, pump houses, and other outdoor structures.
Do you do off-season work at camps and guest ranches?
Yes. We schedule larger projects in the off-season and around your operating calendar, including cabin rewiring, panel work, and lighting upgrades.
My panel is full and I want to add a hot tub or EV charger — what are my options?
Depends on the panel. We can sometimes free up space with a tandem breaker or small reconfiguration, or it may make sense to upgrade. We check first and give you the honest options.
Do you work on full-time residences in Hunt, not just vacation and commercial properties?
Yes. We handle the full range of residential electrical — repairs, lighting, panels, EV chargers, remodels, generators — for full-time homes throughout the area.
Can you coordinate with my contractor or property manager?
Yes. We work regularly with GCs, property managers, and inspectors on phased and scheduled work.
