Electrical Work in Tye: What Is Different
A lot of Tye homes are manufactured homes. Census survey estimates suggest manufactured and mobile homes make up a large share of the housing in Tye. On a manufactured home, power usually comes from a meter and disconnect on a pole or pedestal near the home, then runs through a feeder to the home’s own panel. Problems we look for include loose or corroded connections at the pedestal, feeders that were sized before a bigger air conditioner or an EV charger was added, and outdoor outlets without GFCI protection or weatherproof covers.
The city has its own permit rules. According to the City of Tye, building permits are required for new construction and additions, and the permit must be signed by a master electrician where electrical work is involved. Manufactured homes brought into the city need their own permit, may be no older than seven years from the date of manufacture, and are only allowed in certain areas. Check with the city before you buy or move a home.

Our Commercial Electrical Services in Tye
Commercial Electrical Contractor
Most of Tye’s businesses sit along Interstate 20, and the city says most center around oil, gas and trucking, along with equipment sales and service, contracting and construction. That means shops with heavy equipment, compressors, welders and long runs of outdoor lighting. We handle new circuits, panel and service work, and repairs for these kinds of businesses.
Security Lighting
Pole lights, wall packs and motion-sensor lighting for yards, lots and building entrances, so the property is visible at night.
Commercial Wiring
New wiring for additions, tenant spaces and equipment, and rewiring of older circuits that no longer keep up with the load.
West Texas Weather and Your Electrical System
Heat, wind, storms and dry grass all put stress on electrical systems around Tye.
- Long, hot summers keep air conditioners running for hours, which shows up as warm connections and tripping breakers on circuits that were already near their limit.
- Storms and outages can bring surges when power comes back. A whole-house surge protector at the panel adds a layer of protection.
- Backup power during outages should come from a properly connected generator, never a portable generator back-fed through an outlet.
- Grass fires are a real risk in this area. In July 2024, a wildfire near County Road 646 and FM 707, just north of Tye, damaged two structures. Keep dry grass and brush cleared around meter poles, pedestals and outdoor equipment.
