Boat Dock Electrical Services in DFW & Possum Kingdom Lake

Discover the World with Burton Electric!

Keeping your boat dock powered, safe, and code-compliant is critical—especially around family, friends, and guests. Our team provides professional boat dock electrical services in the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) area and Possum Kingdom Lake, from new installations to emergency repairs.


We design and service marine-grade electrical systems that stand up to Texas weather, fluctuating water levels, and heavy weekend traffic on the dock.


Why Safe Boat Dock Electrical Matters


Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. Improper wiring can lead to:


  • Electric Shock Drowning (ESD)
     
  • Tripped breakers and nuisance power loss
     
  • Corrosion and premature failure of equipment
     
  • Property damage and safety hazards for swimmers and boaters
     

Our electricians follow current NEC and local code requirements for boat docks in Texas and use marine-rated wiring, fittings, and equipment to help protect your family and investment.


Comprehensive Boat Dock Electrical Services


We provide end-to-end solutions for residential and light commercial docks throughout DFW and Possum Kingdom.


New Dock Electrical Installation


Building a new dock or expanding an existing one? We can:


  • Design complete dock electrical layouts
     
  • Run shore power to the dock with proper conduit and supports
     
  • Install main and sub-panels sized for current and future needs
     
  • Add power pedestals, outlets, and switch locations where you need them
     

Every installation is built to handle Texas heat, fluctuating lake levels, and real-world usage on busy weekends.


Dock Rewiring & System Upgrades


Older docks often have outdated or DIY wiring that no longer meets code. We offer:


  • Full dock rewiring and cleanup of unsafe or exposed conductors
     
  • Panel and breaker upgrades for additional loads
     
  • Replacement of corroded junction boxes, fittings, and devices
     
  • Grounding and bonding upgrades for improved safety
     

If your dock wiring is more than a few years old—or you’re not sure how it was installed—an upgrade can dramatically improve safety and reliability.


GFCI, Bonding & Safety Protection


Modern dock codes require specific protection against electrical shock. We can:


  • Install or upgrade GFCI and AFCI protection where required
     
  • Verify proper grounding and bonding of metal parts and equipment
     
  • Test for stray voltage around the dock area
     
  • Label breakers and circuits for clear identification
     

Our goal is to reduce the risk of ESD and give you confidence every time someone steps on your dock or into the water.


Boat Lift & Hoist Wiring


Your boat lift needs dependable power to work when you’re ready to hit the water. We handle:

  • New boat lift circuits and controls
     
  • Motor wiring, switches, and limit controls
     
  • Protection from moisture, corrosion, and mechanical damage
     
  • Troubleshooting and repairs when lifts won’t run or trip breakers
     

We’ll size wiring and breakers correctly so your lift runs smoothly and safely.


Dock & Underwater Lighting


Make evenings on the water safer and more beautiful with professional lighting:

  • LED dock walkway lighting
     
  • Canopy, slip, and step lighting
     
  • Underwater or fish-attracting lights (where permitted)
     
  • Motion-sensor and photocell controls
     

We use energy-efficient, marine-rated fixtures that enhance visibility and add curb appeal to your waterfront property.


Electrical Inspections & Maintenance

Regular inspections are key for any dock electrical system. Our services include:

  • Annual or seasonal dock electrical safety inspections
     
  • Testing GFCIs, breakers, and circuits
     
  • Identifying corrosion, loose connections, or insulation damage
     
  • Providing written reports and repair recommendations
     

This is especially valuable before peak season at Possum Kingdom Lake and DFW-area lakes like Eagle Mountain, Lake Lewisville, Lake Ray Hubbard, and Lake Granbury.


Boat Dock Electrical Service Areas


We proudly serve homeowners and property managers across:


  • Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex (DFW)
     
  • Possum Kingdom Lake (PK Lake) and surrounding communities
     
  • Nearby North Texas lakes and waterfront neighborhoods
     

If your property is on or near the water in North Texas, we can likely help.


When to Call a Boat Dock Electrician


Contact us if you notice:


  • Breakers tripping when you plug in boat chargers or lift motors
     
  • Flickering dock lights or outlets that feel warm
     
  • Signs of corrosion or exposed wires under the dock
     
  • An older dock that’s never had a professional electrical inspection
     

Working on dock wiring is not a DIY project. A licensed, experienced electrician who understands marine environments is the safest choice.
