You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. Your panel can actually handle the EV charger, smart home devices, and high-end appliances you’ve invested in without overloading.
That’s what happens when your electrical system is built to handle your actual life, not just pass a bare-minimum inspection. Argyle homes, especially the larger estates and newer builds in the $300K to $1M+ range, demand electrical infrastructure that keeps up with modern technology. Most older systems weren’t designed for today’s load.
You shouldn’t have to think about your electrical system until you need to add something or upgrade something. And when that time comes, you want someone who shows up on time, explains what needs to happen, gives you a clear price before any work starts, and finishes the job without dragging it out for weeks.
Carroll Service Co is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth, serving Argyle and the surrounding DFW area since the late 1990s. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center that dispatches whoever’s available. Every electrician on our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained to handle residential and commercial electrical work that meets current NEC codes and local requirements.
We’ve earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List because we do what we say we’re going to do. Argyle homeowners expect reliability, transparency, and quality work that protects their investment. We’ve built our reputation on delivering exactly that, one project at a time, for over two decades.
You call or submit a request. We typically respond within 60 to 90 minutes and schedule a time that works for you, often same-day if it’s urgent.
Our licensed electrician shows up on time, assesses the situation, and walks you through what’s happening and why. Before any work begins, you get a clear, upfront price. No hidden fees. No surprises after the fact.
Once you approve, we get to work. Most electric repair jobs in Argyle get completed the same day. Larger projects like panel upgrades or whole-house rewiring are scheduled with clear timelines, and we handle all permits and inspections. You’re not left guessing when things will be finished or whether the work will pass code. We make sure it does, every time.
After the job is done, we walk you through what we did, answer any questions, and provide warranty details on both parts and labor. Then we clean up and get out of your way.

We handle the full range of electrical work that Argyle homeowners actually need. Panel upgrades for homes that can’t support modern electrical loads. Whole-house rewiring for older properties. Outlet and circuit additions for home offices, workshops, or kitchen remodels. EV charging station installations. Ceiling fans, recessed lighting, landscape lighting. Electrical safety inspections. Backup generator installations for power outages, which happen more often in Texas than most people realize.
Argyle sits in Denton County, where severe weather, aging infrastructure, and rapid growth put pressure on the grid. Homes here, especially larger estates on multi-acre lots, often need electrical systems that can handle everything from smart home automation to workshop equipment to pool pumps. A 100-amp service panel that was fine in 1985 isn’t going to cut it today.
We use commercial-grade components and UL-listed parts that last. Every installation follows current electrical codes, and we handle the permit process and inspections so you don’t have to deal with the county. Our work comes with a warranty that covers both parts and labor, typically ranging from two to five years depending on the scope of the project.
Panel upgrades in Argyle typically run between $1,800 and $3,200, depending on the size of the panel, the complexity of the install, and whether any additional wiring or code updates are required. That price includes the panel itself, labor, permits, and inspections.
If your home is still running on a 100-amp or 60-amp service and you’re adding an EV charger, upgrading appliances, or expanding your home, you’ll likely need to upgrade to a 200-amp panel. Older panels, especially Federal Pacific or Zinsco brands, are also fire hazards and should be replaced regardless of capacity. The upfront cost pays for itself in safety, increased home value, and the ability to actually use your electrical system without constant breaker trips.
We provide a clear, written estimate before any work starts. No surprises.
Yes. Any electrical work that involves your home’s wiring, panel, circuits, or permanent fixtures requires a licensed electrician in Texas. Denton County, where Argyle is located, enforces permitting and inspection requirements for electrical work to ensure it meets safety codes.
Hiring an unlicensed handyman or trying to DIY electrical work might save money upfront, but it creates serious problems down the line. Insurance companies can deny claims if a fire or electrical issue is traced back to unpermitted or improperly installed work. When you sell your home, unpermitted electrical work can kill a deal or force you to pay for costly corrections.
We hold all required Texas licenses and insurance. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is done to code. You get documentation that proves the work was done right, which protects your home’s value and your family’s safety.
Whole-house rewiring typically takes three to seven days for most Argyle homes, depending on square footage, the number of circuits, and whether walls need to be opened up. Larger estates or homes with complex layouts can take longer.
The process involves running new wiring throughout the house, installing a new panel if needed, updating outlets and switches, and bringing everything up to current electrical code. It’s invasive work, but it’s necessary if your home still has outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, both of which are fire hazards.
We schedule the work in phases to minimize disruption. You’ll have power during most of the project, though there will be planned outages while we make connections. We handle all permits and inspections, and we walk you through what to expect before we start so there are no surprises. Once it’s done, your home’s electrical system is safe, reliable, and built to last for decades.
Yes. We install Level 2 EV charging stations for homeowners throughout Argyle. Most EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers your dryer or oven, and they pull a significant load, usually between 30 and 50 amps depending on the charger model.
If your home’s electrical panel doesn’t have the capacity to support an EV charger, we’ll need to upgrade the panel first. Many Argyle homes, especially older ones, are still running on 100-amp service, which doesn’t leave enough headroom for an EV charger on top of your existing electrical load. Upgrading to a 200-amp panel solves that problem and gives you room to grow.
We handle the entire installation, from running the circuit to mounting the charger to pulling permits and scheduling inspections. The process usually takes one day for the charger install, longer if a panel upgrade is needed. You’ll have a safe, code-compliant charging setup that works reliably for years.
First, unplug or turn off everything on that circuit and reset the breaker. If it holds, the problem is likely an overloaded circuit. If it trips again immediately, you’ve got a short circuit or a ground fault, which means you need an electrician to diagnose and fix it.
Breakers trip for a reason. They’re designed to shut off power before wires overheat and start a fire. If you’re constantly resetting breakers, your electrical system is telling you something’s wrong. It could be an overloaded circuit, outdated wiring, a failing breaker, or a problem with a specific appliance or outlet.
We can troubleshoot the issue, identify the cause, and fix it properly. Sometimes it’s as simple as redistributing your electrical load across multiple circuits. Other times, it means upgrading your panel or replacing faulty wiring. Either way, ignoring frequent breaker trips isn’t an option. It’s a safety issue, and it only gets worse over time.
Yes. We provide emergency electrical services for urgent issues like power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells, or exposed wiring. Electrical emergencies are safety hazards, and they need to be addressed immediately, not next week.
We respond quickly, typically within 60 to 90 minutes for emergency calls in the Argyle area. Our electricians carry the tools and parts needed to handle most emergency repairs on the spot, so you’re not left waiting for a follow-up visit.
If you’re dealing with an electrical emergency, don’t wait. Shut off power to the affected area if it’s safe to do so, and call us right away. We’ll walk you through what to do while we’re on the way, and we’ll get your power restored safely as quickly as possible.
