Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Lubbock?

Yes — most electrical work beyond replacing fixtures and outlets requires a permit from the City of Lubbock. This includes panel upgrades, new circuits, EV charger installation, and any work on the service entrance. A licensed electrician will pull the permit and schedule the inspection. Be wary of anyone who suggests skipping this step.

How much does an EV charger installation cost in Lubbock?

A Level 2 EV charger (240V) installation in Lubbock typically runs $500–$1,500 depending on the distance from your panel and whether a new circuit is needed. If your panel needs upgrading to accommodate it, add $1,500–$4,000. Federal tax credits may offset some cost — check with your accountant.

What is a panel upgrade and do I need one?

An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main breaker box with a higher-capacity unit. Signs you might need one: frequently tripping breakers, a panel under 200 amps in a home with modern appliances, adding an EV charger or hot tub, or a panel over 25–30 years old. Get an inspection before assuming you need one.
