Frisco Residents Take the Power Back
From McKinney to Allen, Frisco to Celina, thousands of new homeowners are settling into homes across Collin County. But when it comes to understanding their electrical systems, many feel stuck between expensive contractor visits and unreliable online tutorials.
That’s where ABR Electric’s monthly Electrical Skills for Homeowners workshop steps in.
This adult education class offers real-world, tool-in-hand training, guiding participants through the most common and confusing household electrical tasks—all taught in-person by Master Electrician James Adams at ABR Electric’s McKinney training facility.
“Most homeowners have never had someone physically show them how to wire an outlet or read a panel,” Adams says. “This class gives them those skills—safely, confidently, and without the overwhelm
