Your lights stop flickering. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the dishwasher and the AC at the same time. Your outlets work like they should, and you’re not wondering if something’s about to catch fire behind the walls.
That’s what happens when a local electrician in Oak Point, TX shows up with the right license, the right parts, and 25 years of knowing exactly what goes wrong in homes like yours. You get electrical services that actually fix the problem—not just patch it until next month.
Oak Point’s growing fast. Homes here are pulling more power than ever—computers, gaming systems, home theaters, EVs charging in the garage. Your electrical panel wasn’t built for that load. When we upgrade it, you’re not just avoiding outages. You’re protecting everything plugged into your walls and adding real value to your property.
Carroll Service Co is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth, serving Oak Point and the surrounding DFW area for over 25 years. Every electrician on our team carries current Texas licensing and full insurance, so your home stays protected from start to finish.
We’re not new to this market. We know Oak Point’s lakeside location means moisture concerns, and we know your newer homes are wired differently than the older builds closer to Lake Lewisville. We’ve seen what fails, what lasts, and what you actually need vs. what some contractors try to sell you.
Our A+ BBB rating and multiple Angie’s List Super Service Awards didn’t come from cutting corners. They came from showing up on time, doing the work right, and charging what we said we’d charge.
You call or contact us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—flickering lights, dead outlets, breakers tripping, whatever it is. If it’s an emergency, we’re typically on-site within 60 to 90 minutes.
When we arrive, we diagnose the actual issue. Not just the symptom. If your breaker keeps tripping, we’re finding out why—overloaded circuit, failing breaker, damaged wiring, or something else. We explain what we found in plain terms, give you a clear price for the fix, and don’t start until you approve it.
Then we do the work using commercial-grade components and UL-listed parts. We pull the right permits if the job requires it. We test everything before we leave. And if the same problem comes back during the warranty period, we return at no additional charge. That’s it—no drama, no runaround.

We handle the full range of residential electrical services in Oak Point, TX. Panel upgrades for homes that need more capacity. Whole-house surge protection to keep your electronics and appliances safe from voltage spikes. Recessed lighting installation that actually looks good and doesn’t create hot spots in your ceiling.
We install EV chargers—the right amperage for your vehicle, wired safely into your existing system. We set up backup generators sized correctly for your square footage, so when the power goes out during a Texas heat wave, your AC keeps running. And we do all the smaller fixes too—outlets that stopped working, switches that spark, wiring that’s outdated or damaged.
Oak Point’s median household income sits above $109,000, and homes here aren’t cheap. You’re not looking for the fastest fix or the lowest bid. You’re looking for electrical services that protect your investment and keep your family safe. That’s what we do—licensed, insured, and built to last longer than the standard residential-grade work most contractors install.
If you’ve got an emergency electrical problem—power outage, burning smell, sparking outlet—we typically arrive within 60 to 90 minutes for most Oak Point locations. We know how dangerous electrical issues can get, especially during Texas summers when losing power means losing your AC in 100-degree heat.
When you call, we’ll ask what’s happening so we can bring the right equipment and parts. Our trucks are stocked with the most common components, so we can usually complete the repair on the first visit. Emergency electrical services come with the same warranty as scheduled work—if the same issue comes back, we return at no charge.
Not every problem is an emergency, though. If your lights are flickering but everything still works, that’s something we can schedule. If you’re smelling burning plastic or seeing sparks, that’s when you call right away.
Panel upgrades in Oak Point typically run between $1,500 and $4,000, depending on the amperage you need, the condition of your existing wiring, and whether we’re relocating the panel or keeping it in the same spot. Most homes built in the last 20 years have 200-amp service, but older homes closer to Lake Lewisville might still be running on 100-amp panels that can’t handle modern electrical loads.
We give you a detailed estimate before we start. That includes the new panel, all necessary permits, the labor, and any additional components like surge protection or updated breakers. If we find something during the inspection—like outdated wiring that needs replacement—we’ll explain what it is, why it matters, and what it costs before moving forward.
The investment pays off. You’ll stop tripping breakers, you’ll be able to add that EV charger or home theater system without overloading your circuits, and you’ll increase your home’s value. Plus, modern panels are safer—they’re built to handle the power demands of today’s homes without overheating or failing.
If you’ve got expensive appliances, electronics, or an HVAC system you’d rather not replace early, yes. Whole-house surge protection stops voltage spikes before they reach your devices. Power surges happen more often than you’d think—lightning strikes, utility grid switching, even your neighbor’s AC kicking on can send a spike through the lines.
Your typical power strip won’t protect your refrigerator, washer, dryer, or HVAC system. Those are hardwired into your electrical panel, and a surge can fry their control boards in seconds. A whole-house surge protector installs at your main panel and protects everything in your home. It’s a one-time installation that costs a few hundred dollars and can save you thousands in damaged equipment.
Oak Point’s proximity to Lake Lewisville means you’re in an area that sees its share of summer storms. Lightning doesn’t have to hit your house directly to cause damage—it just has to hit the power lines feeding your neighborhood. We install UL-listed surge protectors rated for the voltage your home receives, and they come with warranties on both the device and the equipment they’re protecting.
Flickering lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, breakers that trip frequently, or a burning smell near outlets or switches—those are the warning signs. If your home was built before 2000, there’s a decent chance some of your wiring needs attention. Older homes in Oak Point might still have aluminum wiring, which expands and contracts with heat and can create loose connections that spark.
Another sign: if you can’t plug in a hair dryer and a space heater in the same room without tripping a breaker, your circuits are overloaded. Modern homes use a lot more power than homes built 20 or 30 years ago. Your electrical system might not have been designed for the load you’re putting on it now.
We can run a full electrical safety inspection to check your wiring, panel, outlets, and grounding. It takes about an hour, and we’ll walk you through what we find—what’s fine, what’s a safety risk, and what you should plan to upgrade. You’re not obligated to fix everything at once, but at least you’ll know what you’re dealing with and can prioritize the stuff that actually matters.
Most homes in Oak Point between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet need a 20kW to 22kW generator to run the essentials—AC, refrigerator, lights, and a few outlets. If you’ve got a larger home or want to power everything including the oven, dryer, and pool equipment, you’re looking at 24kW or higher.
We don’t guess. We calculate your actual load based on your home’s square footage, your HVAC system’s requirements, and what you want to keep running during an outage. Then we recommend a generator that fits your needs without oversizing it and wasting your money. Generac and Kohler are the two brands we install most often—they’re reliable, parts are easy to get, and they’re built to handle Texas heat.
Installation includes the generator itself, a transfer switch that automatically kicks the generator on when the power goes out, the concrete pad it sits on, gas line connection, and all necessary permits. We handle the whole process from sizing to startup, and we’ll walk you through how to maintain it so it’s ready when you need it. Backup generators aren’t cheap, but when the power’s out for three days in July, you’ll be glad you have it.
Yes. Every electrician on our team carries current Texas electrical licensing and we carry full general liability insurance. That means if something goes wrong—and it rarely does—your property is protected. It also means we’re legally allowed to pull permits for the work that requires them, like panel upgrades and generator installations.
A lot of handymen and unlicensed contractors do electrical work in Oak Point because homeowners don’t always ask to see credentials. That’s a problem. If they mess something up, your homeowner’s insurance might not cover the damage because the work wasn’t done by a licensed professional. And if they don’t pull permits, you could run into issues when you sell your home.
We’ve been doing this for over 25 years in the DFW area. Our A+ BBB rating and Angie’s List Super Service Awards didn’t come from taking shortcuts. We do the work right, we follow code, and we stand behind everything we install. You can verify our license, check our insurance, and read our reviews before you hire us. That’s how it should be.
