“Pleased with my interaction with ABR electric and their installation of our new EV charger. Their team was very quick to respond and was patient as I requested quotes for multiple install locations.

“I just had a great homeowners electrical workshop with James. Good combination of theoretical and practical exercises. Learned a lot of small, but valuable details about wiring and outlets/switches installation.”

Google Review

“Got a text from Jason on the day of the appointment, said he would be an hour early and that worked great. He showed up exactly when he said, was very professional, extremely transparent; showed me everything he was doing and explained it well. Even with that extra time he was all done in 30 minutes with everything working again. ABR will be my go to for electrical needs now. Thanks!”

David U.

Yelp Review

“James came out with a team member (I believe Jerome was his name) and they quickly tackled the problems that were found during the home inspection with the main electrical panels. He also tested the generator to make sure it kicked on fine when there was no power at the main as well as pointed out some other things to look out for. They arrived on time, went to work, finished quickly and the final invoice was in line with the original estimate. Would recommend!”

Other Electrical Services FAQ – ABR Electric

Yes, we install and troubleshoot smart doorbells and video systems including Ring, Blink, Nest, and other low-voltage security devices. Our licensed electricians ensure proper transformer sizing (typically 16V-24V AC per NEC Article 725 for Class 2 circuits) and verify adequate wire gauge for the distance from your existing doorbell transformer to the new smart device. We also test for voltage drop, which can cause intermittent connectivity issues, and upgrade transformers when necessary to meet the manufacturer's power requirements. Many smart doorbells require 10-40VA transformers, and we ensure your installation meets both NEC standards and manufacturer specifications for reliable operation. Contact support@abrelectric.com or call 214-690-1941.

Absolutely. We coordinate with general contractors to provide comprehensive electrical services for kitchen, bathroom, and whole-home renovations. This includes rough-in wiring per NEC Article 210 for branch circuits, relocating or upgrading electrical panels to accommodate increased loads, installing dedicated 20-amp circuits for kitchen countertop receptacles (NEC 210.52(B)), and ensuring proper GFCI and AFCI protection as required by current code. We also handle service upgrades from 100A to 200A panels when remodels add significant electrical demand, install recessed lighting with proper IC (insulation contact) ratings, and coordinate with HVAC contractors for new mini-split or central air installations requiring dedicated circuits. All work includes proper permitting and inspection coordination with Collin County building departments.

Yes. We have the specialized equipment and extensive experience to safely install or replace ceiling fans on vaulted and cathedral ceilings up to 20+ feet high. All installations comply with NEC Article 314.27(C), which requires ceiling fan boxes to be listed and marked as suitable for fan support (rated for at least 50 pounds). We verify that existing boxes meet current code or install new fan-rated boxes with proper bracing. For high ceilings, we use extension downrods to maintain the recommended 8-10 feet from floor to blade tips for optimal air circulation. We also ensure proper wire gauge (typically 14 AWG for 15A circuits or 12 AWG for 20A circuits per NEC Table 310.15(B)(16)) and install appropriate wall controls or remote systems. Our technicians are trained in fall protection and use scaffolding or lifts to access high mounting locations safely.

Yes. Burning smells, scorch marks, or discolored outlets indicate serious electrical hazards that require immediate attention. Our licensed electricians diagnose the root cause, which often includes loose connections causing arcing (a leading cause of electrical fires), undersized wiring for the connected load, or deteriorated devices. We perform thermal imaging inspections to identify hot spots, test for proper grounding per NEC Article 250, verify circuit breaker sizing matches wire gauge per NEC 240.4, and replace damaged receptacles with commercial-grade devices rated for the application. We also inspect for aluminum wiring connections, which require special anti-oxidant compounds and AL-rated devices per NEC 110.14. All repairs include verification testing to ensure safe operation and compliance with NEC Article 406 receptacle requirements.

Yes. We install code-compliant outlets wherever you need power, following NEC Article 210.52 spacing requirements and NEC Article 210.8 GFCI protection mandates. Garage receptacles require GFCI protection per NEC 210.8(A)(2), and we install weather-resistant (WR) receptacles in damp locations per NEC 406.9(B)(1). For closets, we ensure proper clearance from storage areas per NEC 410.16 and install outlets suitable for the intended use. Outdoor and exterior outlets require GFCI protection and weatherproof covers (WP rating) that maintain protection even when cords are plugged in, per NEC 406.9(B)(1). We run properly sized circuits (typically 12 AWG copper for 20A circuits) through appropriate raceways or NM cable with proper stapling intervals per NEC 334.30, and all installations include proper grounding per NEC Article 250.

Yes. We run dedicated circuits for mini-splits, electric ranges, dryers, and other high-draw appliances to ensure safe, reliable operation per NEC Article 210.23. Mini-split systems typically require dedicated 15A or 20A circuits depending on BTU rating, with proper disconnect switches within sight of the outdoor unit per NEC 440.14. Electric ranges require 40A or 50A circuits with 6 AWG or 8 AWG copper conductors per NEC Table 310.15(B)(16), while electric dryers need 30A circuits with 10 AWG copper. We install appropriate receptacle configurations (NEMA 14-30R for dryers, NEMA 14-50R for ranges) and ensure proper overcurrent protection sizing per NEC Article 240. All dedicated circuits include proper grounding and bonding per NEC Article 250, and we verify voltage drop calculations to ensure efficient appliance operation.

Yes. We install hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors with battery backup to meet current NEC Article 760 and local building code requirements. Modern installations require interconnected detectors so that when one alarm sounds, all alarms activate throughout the home. We install photoelectric smoke detectors in living areas and ionization or dual-sensor detectors in appropriate locations, with proper spacing per NFPA 72 (within 12 inches of ceiling, at least 4 inches from walls). CO detectors are required within 10 feet of bedrooms per most local codes. All wiring follows NEC Article 760 for fire alarm systems, using proper wire types (typically 14/3 or 14/2 with red traveler for interconnect) and ensuring devices are powered from dedicated circuits or properly shared circuits. We also verify proper placement to avoid false alarms from kitchens, bathrooms, or HVAC vents.

Yes. We safely remove outdated alarm wiring and patch or repurpose the circuits as needed, following NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote control and signaling circuits. Our process includes tracing all low-voltage wiring to the main panel or security panel location, disconnecting power sources, removing or abandoning wiring per NEC 725.25 (abandoned cables must be tagged or removed), and patching wall penetrations. If the wiring is suitable, we can repurpose it for new low-voltage applications like doorbell systems, network cabling, or speaker wire. We ensure all electrical boxes are properly covered with blank plates per NEC 314.25, and any abandoned wiring left in walls is clearly identified. This service is particularly common when upgrading to wireless security systems or smart home devices that don't require hardwired connections.
