Electrical Design Services in DFW & Possum Kingdom

Professional electrical design in DFW & Possum Kingdom. Load calculations, panel sizing & more

Electrical Design Services in DFW & Possum Kingdom


A great electrical system doesn’t happen by accident—it starts with a smart design. From new homes and lake houses to tenant finish-outs and light commercial buildings, you need electrical design that’s safe, efficient, and ready for future growth.


We provide professional electrical design services across the Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex and the Possum Kingdom Lake area, helping homeowners, builders, and small businesses get their projects wired right on paper before the first wire is ever pulled.


Why Electrical Design Matters


A thoughtful electrical design helps you:


  • Avoid overloaded panels and nuisance breaker trips
     
  • Make sure outlets, switches, and lighting are where you actually need them
     
  • Plan for future loads (EV chargers, hot tubs, pools, shops, generators, solar, etc.)
     
  • Pass inspections with fewer surprises and delays
     
  • Control long-term operating costs with efficient layouts and LED lighting
     

Instead of guessing in the field, we design a system tailored to your property, usage, and local code requirements.


Electrical Design for New Homes & Remodels


Whether you’re building from scratch or opening up walls in a major remodel, smart planning up front pays off.


Residential Electrical Layouts


We design electrical systems for:


  • New custom homes and spec homes
     
  • Major remodels, additions, and garage conversions
     
  • Barndominiums and rural properties
     
  • Lake homes and vacation properties at Possum Kingdom
     

Your layout can include:


  • Outlet and switch locations based on furniture placement and traffic flow
     
  • General lighting, task lighting, and accent lighting plans
     
  • Dedicated circuits for appliances, HVAC, EV chargers, hot tubs, and shop equipment
     
  • Smart switches, dimmers, and control locations that make sense in daily life
     

The goal: a house that feels wired for how you actually live—not just “whatever fits.”


Load Calculations & Panel Sizing


We calculate real-world loads so your panel and service are sized correctly:


  • Whole-home load calculations per code
     
  • Panel sizing (200A, 320A, 400A, etc., as needed)
     
  • Sub-panel location and sizing for garages, shops, and additions
     
  • Planning space for future breakers and circuits
     

This helps prevent under-powered homes that struggle every time you add a new load.


Electrical Design for Light Commercial Projects


Commercial spaces have very different needs than homes. We provide electrical design for:


  • Offices and professional suites
     
  • Retail spaces and tenant finish-outs
     
  • Restaurants, cafés, and small commercial kitchens
     
  • Warehouses, shops, and light industrial spaces
     

Our commercial design services can include:


  • Service and distribution layout (panels, sub-panels, equipment locations)
     
  • Circuiting for lighting, receptacles, HVAC, equipment, and signage
     
  • Emergency and egress lighting design to meet code
     
  • Dedicated circuits for POS, servers, coolers, and specialty equipment
     
  • Coordination with mechanical, low-voltage, and IT plans
     

We focus on practicality, safety, and keeping your project inspection-ready.


Lighting Design – Interior & Exterior


Lighting design is where function and aesthetics meet. We can help with:


Interior Lighting Design


  • Recessed lighting layouts for kitchens, living rooms, hallways, and basements
     
  • Feature fixtures for foyers, dining rooms, and vaulted ceilings
     
  • Task lighting for kitchens, offices, bathrooms, and workshops
     
  • Accent lighting to highlight architectural features and artwork
     

Exterior & Landscape Lighting Design


  • Security and flood lighting for safety and deterrence
     
  • Landscape and path lighting for curb appeal and nighttime visibility
     
  • Deck, patio, and outdoor living space lighting
     
  • Garage, driveway, and front entry lighting
     

We design with LED and smart controls in mind to reduce energy use and simplify operation.


Specialty Electrical Design – EV, Solar, Generators & More


Modern properties often need more than “just outlets and lights.” We can incorporate:


  • EV charger readiness – Proper circuits, panel capacity, and conduit planning
     
  • Standby generator integration – Transfer switches, essential loads, and interlocks
     
  • Solar-ready planning – Panel space, disconnect locations, and backfeed provisions
     
  • Hot tub and pool electrical – Dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and equipment pads
     
  • Boat dock and lakefront power (for PK area) – Safe power delivery to docks and waterfront structures (within local regulations)
     

Building this into the design now avoids expensive rework later.


Code-Compliant Plans for DFW & Possum Kingdom


Every jurisdiction has its own nuances. Our electrical design services are built around:


  • Current NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements
     
  • Local AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) rules in DFW cities and counties
     
  • Requirements around GFCI/AFCI protection, load sizing, grounding, and bonding
     
  • Clear, organized panel schedules and circuiting notes
     

The result: designs that are easier to permit, inspect, and build.


Electrical Design for Possum Kingdom Lake Properties


Lake homes around Possum Kingdom often have unique features:


  • Multi-level decks and outdoor living areas
     
  • Detached garages, shops, and boat storage
     
  • Pools, hot tubs, and outdoor kitchens
     
  • Docks and lakefront power requirements
     

We design electrical systems that support:


  • Comfortable full-time living or weekend use
     
  • Vacation rental and guest turnover
     
  • Safe power around water, stairs, and sloped terrain
     

Your lake property ends up functional, safe, and ready for lake life.

FAQ – Electrical Design in DFW & Possum Kingdom


Q: Do I really need professional electrical design, or can my contractor just “figure it out”?


A proper electrical design helps avoid overloaded systems, poor outlet and lighting placement, and failed inspections. It’s especially important for custom homes, lake houses, and commercial spaces with unique needs.

Yes. We can review current plans, suggest improvements to panel sizing, circuiting, lighting layouts, and future-ready features like EV chargers, generators, and solar, then update the design accordingly.


Q: Do you work directly with homeowners, or only with builders and architects?


We work with all three—homeowners, builders, and design professionals—to create electrical plans that are practical, code-compliant, and aligned with the overall vision of the project.


Q: Can you design electrical systems for both DFW homes and Possum Kingdom lake properties?


Absolutely. We provide electrical design for primary residences, vacation homes, and light commercial spaces throughout DFW and the Possum Kingdom Lake area, with special attention to lake-specific needs and outdoor living spaces.
