Properly Grounded.
Properly Protected.

Ground wire installation, grounding system upgrades, two-prong-to-three-prong conversions, and whole-home surge protection across San Angelo and the Concho Valley. Code-compliant, permitted, and tested.

Quiet Safety.
You Won't Notice It Until You Need It.

Grounding is one of those things that does its job invisibly — until it doesn't, and then everything goes wrong at once. A properly grounded electrical system is what stands between a small fault and a fried TV, a tingled hand and a real shock, a lightning surge and a melted breaker panel.

A lot of older homes in San Angelo and the surrounding Concho Valley were built before grounding was required, or have grounding systems that have corroded, broken, or been disconnected over the decades. We retrofit, repair, and upgrade grounding systems to current National Electrical Code — without tearing your house apart.

Whether you've got two-prong outlets you want to bring up to current code, an insurance inspection that flagged your service grounding, or you're adding a surge protector, an EV charger, or a solar array that needs verified ground, we'll get it sorted.

Six Reasons People Call Us
For Grounding Work.

If any of these apply to your home or business, your grounding system probably needs attention.

01

Older Home With Two-Prong Outlets

Pre-1965 homes often have no ground at all. Modern electronics and appliances assume grounding to operate safely.

02

Failed Insurance Inspection

Some insurance carriers flag ungrounded electrical systems during inspections. Upgrading can resolve the issue.

03

Adding Surge Protection

Whole-home and point-of-use surge protectors don't work without a properly bonded grounding system. Grounding has to come first.

04

Frequent Equipment Damage

Computers, TVs, and appliances dying after thunderstorms is often a grounding issue, not just bad luck with surges.

05

Shocks From Appliances

A tingle when you touch a metal appliance frame is a fault looking for a path to ground. Grounding gives it one — safely.

06

Solar, EV, Or Generator Install

Modern installs require verified grounding. We test, upgrade if needed, and document for inspection.

Lost Power? Burning Smell?

Don't wait. Electrical emergencies can become dangerous fast.

Grounding Questions.
Honest Answers.

What San Angelo homeowners ask before booking grounding work.

Why does my house need a ground wire?+
Grounding gives stray electricity a safe path to the earth instead of through your appliances, your wiring, or you. Without proper grounding, a fault in any device can energize the metal case of that device — meaning the next person who touches it gets shocked. Grounding also protects against lightning surges and lets surge protectors actually work.
How do I know if my house is properly grounded?+
A few signs: two-prong outlets throughout the house (a clue you have an older system without a ground), no ground rod visible outside near the meter or panel, surge protectors that don't light up the "grounded" indicator, or shocks from appliances. We can do a grounding inspection — it's a quick test with a multimeter and a visual check at the panel and service entrance.
How much does ground wire installation cost?+
Cost depends on the scope — adding a ground wire to a single circuit or outlet is much different from a full grounding system upgrade with new ground rods, electrode conductor, and water/gas bonding. Every job is quoted clearly before any work begins. Call for an estimate.
Do older homes need a grounding upgrade?+
Often, yes. Homes built before the mid-1960s in San Angelo were typically wired without a dedicated ground. Two-prong outlets are the giveaway. The National Electrical Code now requires grounded receptacles in most locations, and most modern appliances and electronics assume grounded outlets to work safely. We can retrofit grounding without rewiring the whole house.
Will a GFCI outlet work without a ground wire?+
Yes — a GFCI is a code-approved fix for ungrounded circuits in many situations. It protects people from shock by sensing imbalance in the current, which works without a ground wire. But it doesn't protect equipment from surges or eliminate the need for grounding for sensitive electronics. We can advise which approach fits your situation.
Do grounding upgrades require a permit?+
Major grounding work — driving ground rods, replacing the grounding electrode conductor, or bonding service entrance — typically requires a permit and inspection. Adding a single grounded outlet usually does not. We pull the permits where required and make sure the work passes inspection cleanly.
