If your panel is a Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE/Stab-Lok), or more than 25 years old, it may pose a fire risk and likely cannot handle modern power demands. Signs you need a panel upgrade include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, burning smells, or plans to add a pool or home addition. We inspect panels daily — schedule a safety check and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes. Our electricians install and replace ceiling fans, chandeliers, pendant lights, recessed can lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor security fixtures.

Whether you are upgrading a single fixture or re-lighting an entire home, we handle the job efficiently and leave your space clean.

Yes. Clements Electric is a licensed installer of whole-home standby generators including Generac, Kohler, and Cummins systems. We size the generator to your home's electrical load, install the automatic transfer switch, handle gas line coordination, and pull all required permits. Standby generators start automatically during power outages and can power your entire home or selected essential circuits. We also install manual transfer switches and portable generator inlet boxes for homeowners who prefer portable backup power options. Every installation includes load calculation, proper grounding, and inspection scheduling.

Yes. Our electricians install smart home wiring, structured cabling, and low-voltage infrastructure for home automation systems throughout DFW. We wire for smart lighting control, wireless dimmer switches, smart thermostats, motorized shades, security cameras, doorbells, and whole-home network distribution panels. Whether you are building new construction and want a future-proof wiring plan or retrofitting an existing home with smart switches and automated lighting control, we ensure every device is properly powered, grounded, and networked for reliable performance. We work with Lutron, Control4, and major smart home platforms.

A whole-home standby generator (Generac, Kohler, Cummins) automatically powers your entire house during an outage via an automatic transfer switch. A portable generator hookup is a manual inlet that lets you plug in a portable unit to power select circuits. Standby generators are permanently installed, run on natural gas or propane, and start automatically within seconds of a power outage. We install both systems and help you choose the right backup power solution based on your budget, home size, and essential circuit needs.

Most electrical work in Texas requires a permit and must be performed by a licensed electrician — this includes electrical panel upgrades, breaker panel replacements, new circuit installations, whole-home rewiring, standby generator installations, and service changes. Clements Electric pulls all required permits and schedules inspections so your work is code-compliant and fully documented. Never hire an unlicensed electrician; unpermitted work can void insurance and create serious safety hazards.

Flickering lights are not normal. Common causes include loose wiring connections, overloaded circuits, a failing breaker, voltage fluctuations from the utility, or a degraded panel. Occasional dimming when the AC starts is sometimes acceptable, but persistent flickering anywhere in the house warrants an immediate inspection — it can indicate arcing, which is a leading cause of electrical fires.

A full home rewire typically takes 3 to 10 business days depending on square footage, age of the home, accessibility of walls and attic, and whether the home is occupied during the work. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and can often complete room-by-room if needed. Every rewire includes updated outlets, switches, GFCI protection, and a modern grounded panel.
