What We Do

Every electrical job
we'll show up for.

Residential electrical work we handle every week. If you don't see your project listed — just ask. If it's something we shouldn't do, we'll tell you straight up.

— 01

Outlet & Switch Replacement

Old, painted-over, loose, or just plain ugly. We swap outlets and switches with new spec-grade or decorator-style hardware — color-matched to your trim, wired tight, tested twice.

— 02

Light Fixture Installation

Pendants, chandeliers, flush mounts, sconces. We mount it level, wire it correctly, secure it to the box (not just the drywall), and clean up so you'd never know we were there.

— 03

Ceiling Fan Installation

New install or replacement. We make sure you've got a proper fan-rated box (or install one if you don't), get the blades balanced, and wire the wall switch the way you want it — light only, fan only, or both.

— 04

Smart Home Device Setup

Smart switches, smart outlets, smart thermostats — Lutron Caseta, Kasa, Nest, Ecobee. We install the hardware, neutral wire and all, then walk you through pairing the app so you actually use it.

— 05

Dimmer Switches

Standard dimmers, three-way dimmers, smart dimmers, low-voltage LED-compatible dimmers. We pick the right one for your bulbs (matters more than people think) so you don't get buzzing or flicker.

— 06

GFCI Outlet Installation

Code-required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoors, and laundry rooms. If your house was built before the 90s, you probably need a few of these. We test every install with a tester before signing off.

— 07

USB Outlet Upgrades

Swap a regular outlet for one with built-in USB-A and USB-C ports. Bedrooms, kitchens, home offices — wherever you'd rather not wrestle with bulky chargers and power strips.

Book This
— 08

Outdoor Lighting & Doorbells

Porch lights, security floods, motion sensors, smart doorbells (Ring, Nest). Wired or low-voltage landscape lighting — we run lines properly and seal everything weather-tight.

Electrical Questions

Things people ask
about electrical work.

Are you licensed to do electrical work in Texas?
We're a licensed and insured handyman business and we handle the residential electrical work that's within our scope — outlets, switches, fixtures, ceiling fans, smart devices. For panel work, service upgrades, or anything requiring a Texas Master Electrician license, we'll tell you up front and refer you to a trusted licensed electrician.
My outlet is sparking. Is that an emergency?
A small spark when plugging something in can be normal. Persistent sparking, burning smell, hot outlet, or scorch marks — that's a fire risk. Turn off the breaker for that circuit immediately and call us. Don't keep using it. We'll prioritize the visit.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there's only a light?
Yes — but the existing electrical box needs to be upgraded to a fan-rated box (regular boxes can't hold a fan's weight or vibration). We'll check during the visit and install a proper fan brace if needed. We also handle running a separate switch leg if you want fan and light controlled separately.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
For simple device replacements (outlet swap, switch swap, fixture swap) — generally no permit required. For new circuits, sub-panels, or anything affecting service, you'll need a permit, and that's the kind of work we'd refer to a licensed electrician anyway.
Will my smart switches work without a hub?
Depends on the brand. Lutron Caseta and most Zigbee-based switches need a hub. WiFi-based smart switches (Kasa, Wyze, some Leviton models) work without one. We'll match you with the right gear for your setup before installing — no surprise hub purchases later.
I bought a fixture online. Will you install it?
Yes. As long as it's UL-listed (which 99% of US-sold fixtures are) and you have all the parts, we install it. If something's missing or wrong with the fixture, we'll tell you before opening the box.
How much does it cost to replace an outlet?
We price per device with a minimum service call. The first outlet costs more than each additional one — so it's worth batching. If you've got 5 or 10 to do, we give you a flat package price. Honest hourly pricing, always up front.
Do you guarantee electrical work?
Yes. If something we installed fails because of how we did the job, we come back and fix it — no charge. Manufacturer warranties on the hardware itself stand on their own (Leviton and Lutron typically have multi-year limited warranties).

Looking for a reliable electrical handyman in Bastrop, TX? Rinelli Services has been handling residential electrical work across Bastrop County and Central Texas since 2022. From a single switch swap to rolling out smart switches across your whole home, we focus on the everyday electrical jobs — done safely, code-compliant, and with the kind of attention to detail that keeps you from ever calling about that outlet again.

We serve Bastrop, Smithville, Austin, and Georgetown, plus surrounding areas including Elgin, Manor, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lockhart, Buda, and Kyle. We work with major brands like Leviton, Lutron, Eaton, and Hubbell — and we're happy to install hardware you've already purchased.
