You’re not looking for an electrician because everything’s going great. Maybe your breaker keeps tripping when you run the AC and the dryer at the same time. Maybe you lost power for six hours during the last storm and watched your freezer contents turn into expensive compost. Or maybe you just bought one of those beautiful new builds off FM 407 and need someone who actually shows up when they say they will.
Argyle’s infrastructure is playing catch-up with the growth. Oncor’s been upgrading transformers because the equipment hit max capacity, and that’s not changing anytime soon. When your electrical system fails here, it’s not just inconvenient—it’s a safety issue in 100-degree heat or during a February freeze.
You need electrical services in Argyle, TX that handle the full scope: emergency repairs when something sparks or smokes, panel upgrades so your 200-amp service can actually handle modern life, whole-house surge protection because lightning doesn’t care about your home theater setup, and backup generators that kick on before your Wi-Fi even drops. We’ve been doing this work across the Mid-Cities for over 25 years, and we know what fails first in Texas weather.
Carroll Service Co is a family-owned electrical contractor that’s been working in the DFW area since before Argyle’s population hit four digits. We’re not the newest company with the flashiest truck. We’re the ones with an A+ BBB rating and a stack of Angie’s List Super Service Awards because we keep showing up and doing the work right.
Our electricians are fully licensed, and we carry the insurance that protects your home if something goes sideways. We’ve wired custom homes in your zip code, upgraded panels in 30-year-old houses that were never designed for EV chargers, and installed generators for families who got tired of throwing out groceries every time a storm rolls through.
You’re hiring us because you want it done once, done safely, and done by someone who’ll actually answer the phone if you have a question three months from now.
You call or submit a request. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—not to upsell you, but because “my power’s out” and “my panel’s sparking” require very different responses. If it’s an emergency, we move fast. If it’s scheduled work, we show up when we say we will.
When we arrive, we assess the situation and explain what we found in plain terms. No jargon. No scare tactics. If your panel needs replacing, we’ll tell you why and what happens if you wait. If it’s a simple fix, we’ll say that too. You’ll get a clear price before we start any work.
Once you approve, we handle the repair, upgrade, or installation using commercial-grade components that last. We pull permits when required, coordinate inspections for new construction, and clean up when we’re done. You get a system that works, documentation for your records, and a team you can call again when the next issue pops up.
If we’re installing a backup generator, we walk you through fuel options, placement, and what it’ll actually power during an outage. Most Argyle homes do well with a 16-20 kW unit. It kicks on within 20 seconds of losing grid power and runs as long as you have fuel. We handle the whole setup from gas line connections to transfer switch installation.

We handle the electrical work that keeps your home functional and safe. That includes emergency repairs when something fails at 9 PM on a Saturday, because electrical problems don’t wait for business hours. Smoking outlets, tripped breakers that won’t reset, flickering lights, or any situation where you smell burning—those get immediate attention.
Panel upgrades are a big part of what we do here. Older homes in Argyle weren’t built for the electrical load you’re running now. If you’re adding a pool, upgrading to a tankless water heater, or installing an EV charger, your existing panel might not cut it. We’ll assess your current setup, calculate your actual load requirements, and install a panel that handles it safely.
Backup generator installation has become standard for families who’ve dealt with extended outages. Texas weather is unpredictable, and the grid gets stressed during peak demand. A properly sized generator keeps your essentials running—HVAC, refrigeration, lights, and whatever else you prioritize. We size it correctly, install it to code, and make sure it’s ready before you need it.
We also handle whole-house surge protection, recessed lighting installations, safety inspections for older homes, and electrical work for new construction. Argyle’s building fast, and we work with several builders in the 76226 area. If you’re building custom, we’ll coordinate with your GC and handle everything from rough-in to final inspection.
We offer same-day emergency response for urgent electrical issues in Argyle, TX. If you’re dealing with a safety hazard—sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss, or exposed wiring—call us immediately and we’ll prioritize your situation.
Response time depends on our current job schedule and your specific location, but we typically arrive within a few hours for true emergencies. We keep our service area tight around the Mid-Cities and North DFW specifically so we can respond faster than companies covering the entire metro.
For non-emergency work like scheduled panel upgrades or generator installations, we’ll set an appointment that works for your timeline. We show up when we say we will, which apparently makes us unusual in this industry.
Some homes genuinely need panel upgrades. Others don’t. It depends on your current panel’s capacity, its condition, and what you’re asking it to do.
If your home was built before 2000 and you’re adding major electrical loads—EV chargers, pool equipment, tankless water heaters, or a backup generator—your existing 100-amp or 150-amp panel probably can’t handle it safely. Modern homes typically need 200-amp service minimum. If your breakers trip frequently, that’s your panel telling you it’s overloaded.
We’ll assess your actual situation before recommending anything. We look at your current panel’s amperage, check for signs of wear or damage, calculate your household’s electrical load, and factor in any additions you’re planning. If an upgrade makes sense, we’ll explain exactly why. If your panel is fine, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve been doing this for 25 years—we don’t need to invent problems to stay busy.
Most homes in Argyle do well with a 16-20 kilowatt standby generator. That’s enough to run your essential systems—central AC or heat, refrigerator, freezer, lights, some outlets, and your garage door. It won’t power everything simultaneously, but it keeps your home livable during extended outages.
The exact size depends on your home’s square footage, your HVAC system’s requirements, and what you consider essential. Larger homes with multiple AC units or specific needs like medical equipment might need a 22-24 kW unit. Smaller homes might get by with 14 kW.
We calculate your actual load requirements before recommending a generator size. Oversizing wastes money on equipment and fuel. Undersizing means you’re making tough choices about what to turn off during an outage. We size it right the first time, install it to manufacturer specs, and make sure it’s positioned correctly for both function and Argyle’s code requirements.
Emergency service calls typically start around $150-200 just to diagnose the problem, then you pay for the actual repair. Simple fixes like replacing a faulty outlet or breaker might run $200-400 total. More involved repairs cost more.
Panel upgrades for a typical Argyle home usually run $2,500-5,000 depending on the amperage, panel location, and whether we need to upgrade your meter base or service entrance. Whole-house surge protection adds another $400-800. Backup generator installations range from $8,000-15,000+ depending on the unit size, fuel type, and installation complexity.
We give you a clear price before starting work. No surprises, no “we found another issue” upsells unless there’s genuinely a safety problem we didn’t see initially. You’ll know what you’re paying and why. The goal is to fix your problem correctly, not to maximize the invoice.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t respect business hours, and some problems can’t wait until Monday morning. If you’re dealing with a safety hazard—sparking, smoking, burning smells, or complete power loss—call us regardless of the time.
We provide 24-hour electrician services in Argyle, TX for situations that need immediate attention. You’ll pay emergency rates for after-hours calls, but that’s standard across the industry. The alternative is leaving a dangerous situation unaddressed or trying to DIY something that could burn your house down.
For non-emergency work, regular business hours are fine. We’re not going to tell you that replacing a light fixture at 2 AM is an emergency. But if your main panel is arcing or you have exposed live wires, that’s when you call immediately.
Yes, we work with several builders in the Argyle area and handle electrical installations for new construction and custom homes. We coordinate with your general contractor or builder to schedule rough-in work, handle the temporary power setup, install your panel and circuits, and complete the finish work.
New construction requires inspections at specific stages—before concealment and at final. We schedule those, make sure everything passes, and handle any corrections if the inspector flags something. We’re familiar with Argyle’s building codes and inspection requirements.
If you’re building custom, we’ll also consult on your electrical plan before rough-in. That’s when you decide on outlet placement, lighting locations, dedicated circuits for specific equipment, and whether you want provisions for future additions like generators or EV chargers. It’s much cheaper to run conduit during construction than to add it later.
