You flip a switch and the lights come on. Every time. Your breakers stop tripping when you run the microwave and AC at the same time. The burning smell near your panel is gone because someone actually fixed the loose connection instead of just resetting the breaker.
Your home can handle modern appliances without dimming the lights. You’ve got outlets where you need them, not where the builder decided to put them in 1985. And when a North Texas storm rolls through, your backup generator kicks on automatically while your neighbors are scrambling for flashlights.
That’s what proper electrical work looks like. Not constant workarounds. Not wondering if something’s about to catch fire. Just a system that does what it’s supposed to do, installed by someone who knows the difference between code-compliant and “good enough.”
Most homes in Dalworthington Gardens weren’t built for how you live now. You’re running computers, charging stations, smart home devices, and high-efficiency HVAC systems on panels designed for a few lamps and a window unit. We upgrade electrical systems so they match your actual life—not the one from three decades ago.
Carroll Service Co has been handling electrical work in the Fort Worth area for over 25 years. We’re a family-owned operation, which means you’re not getting a call center or a rotating crew of subcontractors. You’re getting licensed electricians who know how North Texas homes are wired and what typically goes wrong.
We carry an A+ BBB rating and proper licensing and insurance because that’s the baseline, not a selling point. What matters more is that we show up when we say we will, give you a real price before we start, and don’t leave until the work is done right.
Dalworthington Gardens sits right in the middle of our service area. We know the housing stock here—the older homes that need panel upgrades, the newer builds with builder-grade electrical that needs reinforcement. We’ve worked in this community long enough to understand what you’re dealing with before you finish explaining the problem.
You call or message us with the issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening—whether it’s an emergency or something that can wait a day or two. If it’s urgent, we move you to the front of the schedule. If it’s not, we find a time that works for you, usually within 24 hours.
When we arrive, we assess the situation and give you an upfront price before touching anything. No surprises. No “well, now that we’re here” upsells. You know what it costs, and you decide if you want to move forward.
Once you approve, we get to work. Most repairs and installations happen the same day. Panel upgrades or whole-house projects get scheduled with a clear timeline. We pull permits when required, install everything to current NEC and local codes, and clean up when we’re done.
After the work is complete, we test everything to make sure it’s functioning properly. You get documentation of what was done, and if you ever have questions down the road, you call the same number and talk to people who remember your job.

We handle the full range of residential electrical work. Panel upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp systems so your home can actually handle your load. Breaker replacements when they’re worn out or undersized. Full rewiring for older homes still running on outdated or dangerous wiring.
We install backup generators with proper load calculations and automatic transfer switches. That means when the power goes out during a summer storm or winter freeze—both common in North Texas—your essentials stay running without you lifting a finger. We size the system based on what you actually need, not what we can sell you.
Outlet additions, GFCI installations in kitchens and bathrooms, ceiling fan installations, recessed lighting, whole-house surge protection—all the upgrades that make your home safer and more functional. We also troubleshoot electrical issues that other electricians couldn’t figure out, because we’ve seen just about everything in 25 years.
Every job includes proper permitting when required by Dalworthington Gardens or Tarrant County, code-compliant installation, and commercial-grade materials that last. You’re not getting residential-grade components that’ll need replacing in five years. You’re getting the same quality we’d install in a commercial building.
Panel upgrades typically run between $1,500 and $3,500 depending on the amperage, location of your existing panel, and whether we need to upgrade your meter base or service entrance. Most homes in Dalworthington Gardens are upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service to handle modern electrical loads.
The price includes the new panel, breakers, labor, permits, and inspection. If your main service line from the street also needs upgrading, that’s additional work that involves your utility company. We coordinate that process, but it adds time and cost.
We give you an exact price after looking at your current setup. No ballpark estimates that double once we start working. You’ll know what it costs before we touch anything, and that number doesn’t change unless you ask us to do additional work.
Yes. Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you’ve got sparking outlets, burning smells, or no power when everyone else on your street has it, call us. We’ll get someone to your home in Dalworthington Gardens typically within 60 to 90 minutes.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled work—that’s standard across the industry because we’re pulling a technician away from their evening or weekend. But we’re transparent about that cost upfront. You’ll know what the emergency call fee is before we dispatch.
Not everything is actually an emergency, though. If your breaker keeps tripping but you can reset it and avoid that circuit, that can usually wait until morning. We’ll help you figure out if it’s truly urgent or if it’s something we can handle during regular hours for a lower rate.
Most residential generator installations take one to two days once we have the equipment and permits in hand. Day one involves setting the concrete pad, running the gas line or propane connection, and positioning the generator. Day two covers the electrical connections, transfer switch installation, and startup testing.
The bigger timeline factor is usually equipment availability and permit approval. Generators can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to arrive, depending on the model and current demand. Permits from Dalworthington Gardens or Tarrant County typically process within a few business days.
We handle the entire process—load calculation to figure out what size generator you actually need, equipment ordering, permit applications, gas line coordination, installation, and final inspection. You’re not juggling multiple contractors or trying to figure out if your generator is sized correctly. We make sure it’s done right the first time so it actually works when you need it.
Frequent breaker trips are the most obvious sign, especially if you’re not running anything unusual when it happens. If your panel is warm to the touch, that’s a problem—panels shouldn’t generate heat. Any burning smell near your panel means you need an electrician today, not next week.
Rust or corrosion inside the panel indicates moisture intrusion, which is dangerous. If your panel still has old-style fuses instead of breakers, it needs replacing. Same goes for Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, which are known fire hazards even when they seem to be working fine.
Flickering or dimming lights when you turn on appliances usually means your panel is undersized for your current electrical load. Most homes built before 1990 in the Dalworthington Gardens area have 100-amp service, which isn’t enough for modern living. If you’re planning any major renovations or adding EV charging, you’ll need a panel upgrade to support that additional load safely.
Yes. We carry current Texas electrical licensing, general liability insurance, and all required local certifications. Every technician we send to your home is licensed—not a helper or apprentice working unsupervised. That matters because improperly installed electrical work is dangerous and won’t pass inspection.
We pull permits for work that requires it and coordinate inspections with Dalworthington Gardens or Tarrant County as needed. Some homeowners try to skip permits to save money, but that creates problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. We do it right so you don’t have issues down the road.
Our licensing and insurance information is available on request, and we’re happy to provide proof before starting any work. You can also verify our A+ BBB rating and Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. We’ve been doing this for over 25 years because we follow the rules and stand behind our work.
We cover the entire Fort Worth area and Mid-Cities region. That includes Arlington, Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Kennedale, Pantego, and the surrounding communities. Dalworthington Gardens is right in the center of our service area, so response times are typically faster than companies based farther out.
We’ve been working in this region long enough to know the common electrical issues in different neighborhoods. Older areas have different problems than newer developments. We understand local building codes and have working relationships with local inspectors, which keeps projects moving smoothly.
If you’re outside our typical service area but have a larger project, we can often accommodate that. Call us and we’ll let you know honestly if we’re the right fit or if you’d be better served by someone closer to you. We’d rather refer you to a qualified electrician nearby than waste your time.
