Electrician installing new wiring during a whole-home rewire

Project 014 — Whole-home rewire

A 1921 bungalow, rewired without moving a wall.

Two generations of knotty brass and aluminum branch wiring came out. Forty-two dedicated circuits went in, along with a 200A service and whole-home surge protection — all in eleven days, all photographed before the drywall went back up.

The panel upgrade quote landed before they'd left the driveway. Eleven days later the whole house ran on it. Not one surprise on the invoice.

About Meridian

Eighteen years. One standard: Do it right.

01Origin
Austin, TX — 2008

Meridian started with a panel job the bigger companies wouldn't take. A 1948 farmhouse, a 60-amp service, and an owner who wanted it done right — not patched. Two licensed journeymen, one service truck, and a promise that stuck: we price it before the first cut, and we back every job in writing.

Eighteen years later the truck count is different, but the promise isn't. We've stayed a general electrical contractor on purpose — one crew, one license, one standard from a flickering kitchen light to a 400-amp commercial service. If it carries current and it matters to you, that's our trade.

We're not the biggest electrical company in Central Texas, and we don't compete on the invoice line for the lowest bid. We compete on the follow-up call, ten years from now — the one that shouldn't need to happen.

02Philosophy
01

Measure before you open the box.

Every job starts with load calculations, thermal scans and the code book open. The answer lives in the numbers, not in the guess.

02

Price it before the first cut.

A fixed written quote is a contract, not a starting point. If scope changes, you approve the change — in writing — before we continue.

03

Leave it better than we found it.

Labels on every breaker, dust sheets down, work area cleaner than we found it. Craft includes what you see after we're gone.

Close-up of hands terminating a cable during a wiring job
03Craftsmanship

The work is invisible.
That's the point.

A good electrical system is one you never notice. No buzzing, no warm outlets, no mystery breaker. What you do see is the evidence of how it was built: neat bends, labeled panels, torqued lugs, stamped permits.

How we keep you safe

  1. S-01

    Lockout / tagout

    Circuits isolated and verified dead before any contact. Every time.

  2. S-02

    Thermal imaging

    Every panel scan leaves a temperature map — and a copy for you.

  3. S-03

    Torque verification

    Every lug torqued to spec and logged. Loose connections are where fires start.

  4. S-04

    Code + manufacturer spec

    NEC, local amendment, and the panel maker's instructions — all three.

02Common questions

Calls before 1pm inside the 10-mile ring are same-day in most cases. Outside the ring, we promise next-day and tell you the arrival window when you call — not an estimate made up on the phone.

Written estimates are free. The on-site visit for a small repair is a flat $120 service call, credited in full against the repair if you go ahead with it. You'll always know the number before we touch a tool.

Yes. We pull, schedule and close the permit for any permitted work — panel upgrades, rewires, new services, EV circuits. You get the closed permit document when the job is done. No surprise city bill at the end.

Our workmanship: labor on any work Meridian installed. If a circuit we built misbehaves for a reason that's our fault, we come back and make it right, free, for ten years. Materials carry the manufacturer's own warranty, which we document in your close-out packet.

Saturdays 8 to 2 for standard work. Emergency dispatch is 24/7/365. Commercial projects routinely run nights and weekends to avoid downtime — it's planned in the quote, not an upcharge later.

It's the $180 that saves you the $8,000. A thermal scan plus a full panel review catches loose lugs, overloaded circuits and aging work before they become an emergency. The report comes with photos, a priority list, and zero pressure.
