I’ll treat your home the way I treat my home.
Honest residential and small commercial electrical work for the greater Austin area. Repairs and maintenance, panel updates, EV chargers, lighting — flat-rate pricing, no pressure, no upsells.
The $49 Electrical Wellness Check
In about 30–45 minutes, I’ll go through the issue you called me for, as well as taking a look at the rest of your electrical system — panels, outlets, disconnects, and a general visual inspection — and tell you everything I see. What you do with the information is your decision. No pressure, no scare tactics. And if we schedule work that day, the $49 is waived.

Service Calls
Whatever's not working — dead outlets or switches, tripping breakers, flickering lights — I'll tell you what's going on and the right solution.
Learn more →Panels & Maintenance
Your electrical panel may just need maintenance or updates, not replacement — cutting the cost to you by up to 75%.
Learn more →EV Chargers
Charge at home, safely. Before I quote, I size your charger based on your needs and make sure your service and panel can handle the load.
Learn more →Surge Protection
The update most homes built before 2020 are missing — one big surge could do serious damage to any electronic device in your house.
Learn more →No pressure. No upsells. Ever.
I’ll tell you everything I see going on with your electrical system, and I won’t pressure or scare you into spending a dime. The only time I’ll push is when there’s a real safety concern — it’s my job to keep your home safe, and I sleep well knowing I’ve done that job, and you, right.
Noticing any of these?
- Flickering lights
- Switches that feel loose
- Plugs that won't hold a cord
- Dark marks around an outlet
- A crackle or a spark
- Power going in and out
These things are your house asking for some attention — let’s catch the issue now, so that small fix doesn’t turn into a big investment later.

Meet Douglas
Douglas Jay Boyd moved to Austin over 20 years ago for music — he toured as a musician for years and still runs live sound regularly, playing shows every so often. He’s been in the electrical world for 10 years, and started Lefty’s so he could help folks without it costing an arm and a leg, and with no pressure to push for sales. (And yes — Douglas is left-handed.)
More about Douglas →Frequently asked
Do you do free estimates?
There's a $49 dispatch fee, which covers a full electrical Wellness Check — and it's credited toward any work we schedule from that visit.
Do you charge by the hour?
No — flat-rate pricing, time and materials included. The price I quote is the price you pay.
Can you quote over the phone?
We can talk things through, but I can't price anything without an in-person look. Your whole system is connected, and I want to give you the most accurate quote I can.
Do you do emergency or after-hours work?
I have some limited availability outside normal business hours. If I'm available, there's a $149 dispatch fee for evenings and weekends. After-hours dispatch is non-creditable.
Do you do new construction?
I'm focused on service calls and remodels/renovations for now — as I grow, so will the size of the projects I can help with!
How do I know if my panel is dangerous?
If it's a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or GTE Sylvania, it needs replacing — full stop. Text me a photo if you're not sure.
What are signs I need electrical attention?
Flickering lights, loose-feeling switches, plugs that won't grip a cord, dark marks around outlets, power going in and out, any crackle or spark. Don't ignore them — they don't go away.
