Electricians in McKinney, TX – When Your House Tries to Zap You

You know what’s terrifying? Flipping a light switch and hearing a loud pop followed by the smell of burning plastic.

Or plugging in your phone charger and watching actual sparks fly. Or walking into your kitchen and everything’s dark except the microwave clock blinking “12:00” like it’s having an existential crisis.

That’s your electrical system telling you it’s had enough.

We’re Comfort Experts, and we’ve been saving McKinney families from electrical disasters since before everyone had smartphones to charge. They call us the Home of the Electrical Genius because we actually know what we’re looking at when we open up your electrical panel.

We’ve seen outlets that were basically fire hazards waiting to happen. We’ve replaced electrical panels that were older than some of our customers. We’ve fixed DIY wiring jobs that looked like someone’s toddler did it with Play-Doh.

Your house shouldn’t be trying to kill you every time you flip a switch.

Toby is the best, most respectful and knowledgeable advisor we have ever had. If you need heating or air, he is your guy! Thank you Comfort Experts for hiring amazing employees.

Kayla Howard

Jeremy came by to check out our AC and we ended up needing a whole new unit. He took the time to walk us through all the options and got us such a good deal that we couldn’t say no. He was awesome to work with and made the whole process super easy. If you need a new AC, Jeremy is the one to call!

Mark D and Tyler B were very professional and knowledgeable. My electric bill had jumped and I knew something had been going on with the outside unit sounding bad. Mark explained what happened and got me fixed right away.
Thanks for the great service!

Michael and Alonso came out to assess our AC which had stopped cooling in the upstairs for about a week and turns out the "return duct" had some damage of the metal ring that goes around to I guess keep it secure and hold its cylinder shape. It's impossible to know when or how it got damaged whether by the installers or the duct cleaners we had in earlier this year. Although they weren't able to fix the issue, they were able to identify the problem and get me scheduled for their Expert to come out the next day to fully assess. They were professional, seemed knowledgeable and quick to complete the assessment and get me on the schedule.

I've owned my house for about five years now, and have trusted Comfort Experts to do much of the repair and maintenance work on it, with outstanding results.

But nothing compared to the scope of my most recent project, a partial re-plumbing of all the fast-deteriorating (and close to breaking) galvanized pipe running throughout my 1920s house – most of which was creatively installed in bizarre ways, many years ago.

So of course, Comfort Experts was my first call.

And I'm incredibly glad it was, because as challenge after challenge was uncovered, the Comfort Expert team worked through and overcame each of them – from an oddly-placed waterline, to the excavation and installation of a new water main through a yard filled with rock and tree roots (shout-out to C&R Excavation!), to reaching barely-accessible areas of the crawl space under the house to replace difficult-to-reach pipes. Etc.

It was a true team effort, and the Comfort Experts technicians handled everything in stride with determination, patience and professionalism.

Tyler B. – only two weeks into his role at the time – was already insulating pipes, navigating the crawl space, and digging holes like he'd been on the job for months.

Zach answered the call when he was needed; squeezing into ridiculously small spaces to access areas otherwise impossible to reach.

Daniel was with me every step of the way, and I was less anxious about the entire project knowing that it was in his very capable hands. He confidently navigated each unforeseen issue – and there were many – while patiently answering my questions and constantly troubleshooting issues with the team.

And then there was Mark W., who was everywhere and seemingly capable of doing everything. He was in the attic running a new drain line for my HVAC. He was under the house installing new pipe. He was hopping into holes with a jackhammer to assist the excavation team. He had a tool for everything, and an answer to every question, and his high standards for excellence – for his own work and that of his team – also gave me great peace of mind.

What started out as a seemingly simple project ended up taking a full 3.5 days – but I am so grateful that Comfort Experts got it done, and was able to do it right. My 100-year old house will stay standing a little while longer thanks to them!

Zak came the same day and was very professional and informative about the issues we had with our AC unit. Even though we fixed our problem without needing to use the services recommended...I still do recommend Comfort Experts(Zak L) for coming out and being patient. In the future I will contact Comfort Experts if needed Thank you

Adam did a great job replacing our aging water heater. He was quick and efficient and answered all our questions thoroughly. He gave us a tutorial when he was finished and made sure we understood all the components. Now we have greater peace of mind!

Melinda Thompson

Adam did such a great job installing our new water heater today. He was very quick, very efficient, and he took great care to show us all about each component. He answered all our questions and gave us a great tutorial when he was finished. Zach also was a great helper, because that old water heater was HEAVY!! Adam is another reason we stay with Hobson Comfort Experts. Highly recommend!!

Bridget Uhl

Cooper not only repaired the major issue, he made sure to address anything he could during initial inspection. Gramps (100yrs this year) really needed that snake treatment for his toilet, and I am so happy to have a free-flowing home again!!

When to Call an Electrician in McKinney

Most electrical disasters don’t just happen out of nowhere. Your house usually gives you warning signs first. Problem is, most people ignore them until something dramatic happens.

Like the lights going out during dinner. Or worse.

Breakers that keep throwing tantrums: One trip? Fine. Resetting the same breaker every other day? Not fine.
Lights that flicker like a horror movie: If your house looks like a haunted attraction, something’s loose or overloaded.
Outlets hot enough to fry an egg: If your outlets feel warm or smell like burnt toast, turn off the power and call us right now.
Electrical noises: Buzzing, humming, crackling. Electricity should be silent. If it’s making noise, it’s making problems.
Power surges that kill your stuff: If your electronics keep dying for no reason, you’ve got surge problems.
Lights with commitment issues: Randomly going out and coming back on. That’s not character. That’s bad wiring.
Electrical panel older than your marriage: If your panel was installed before 1990, it’s probably time for retirement.
Adding new appliances: New HVAC or fancy kitchen range? Your old wiring might not be able to handle it.
Extension cord city: If your house looks like an octopus of power strips, you need more outlets.
No GFCI outlets near water: Kitchens and bathrooms without GFCI outlets? That’s a shock waiting to happen.

We explain what’s wrong in regular English. No electrical engineer jargon. No “you wouldn’t understand” attitude. Just straight talk about what’s broken and how we’re going to fix it.

We show up when we say we will. We wear shoe covers. We clean up after ourselves. We give you a real price before we start any work.

Being the Electrical Genius means we actually know what we’re looking at when we open up your electrical panel. We don’t guess. We don’t cross our fingers and hope for the best. We fix it right.

A Real Story from Last Year

Family called us after half their house lost power. They thought it was a neighborhood issue. Nope.

Their electrical panel had a corroded bus bar and one of the breakers had literally melted. That weird smell they’d been noticing? Yeah, that was their electrical panel slowly cooking itself.

We replaced the damaged parts, upgraded the whole panel, and had everything running safely again in one afternoon.

Now they call us for any electrical weirdness. And they sleep better knowing their house isn’t trying to burn itself down.

What It's Like to Work With Us:

You call. A real person answers, not a robot.
We schedule. You pick a time that works, and we show up on time.
We diagnose. No guesswork. We will find the issue and walk you through the fix.
We repair or install. We come ready, with tools in hand.
We clean up. You won’t find bits of wire or drywall on your floor.

McKinney Electrician FAQs

Why does my breaker trip when I use the microwave and toaster together?

They’re probably on the same circuit and your electrical system can’t handle both at once. We can fix that.

My light switch feels hot. Is that bad?

Very bad. Hot switches mean too much current or loose wires. Both can start fires.

Do I really need those special outlets in the bathroom?

GFCI outlets? Absolutely. They keep you from getting electrocuted when you’re wet. Kind of important.

Can I replace a light fixture myself?

Maybe. But if the wiring looks sketchy or you’re not sure what goes where, call us. Better safe than dead.

How long do electrical panels last?

About 25 to 40 years. If yours is older or making weird noises, it’s probably time for an upgrade.
