What You Get When the Work's Done Right

You flip a switch and the lights come on. Every time. Your breaker stops tripping when you run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. Your electronics stay protected during those summer storms that roll through North Texas.

That’s what happens when your electrical system actually works the way it should. No more wondering if that warm outlet is going to become a bigger problem. No more resetting breakers or unplugging things to make room for what you need to use.

Most homes in Lake Dallas built before 2000 weren’t designed for how you live now. You’ve got more devices, bigger appliances, and higher expectations than the original electrical system was built to handle. Fixing that doesn’t require a sales pitch. It requires someone who knows what they’re looking at and can explain what needs to happen in plain terms.

Electric Repair Company Lake Dallas

We've Been Doing This Since 1998

We’re a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth, serving Lake Dallas and the surrounding Mid-Cities area for over 25 years. We’re not a franchise. We’re licensed, insured, and we’ve earned an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau plus multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List by showing up and doing what we said we’d do.

Every electrician on our team carries current Texas licensing. That’s not just for compliance—it means you’re covered if something goes wrong, and it means the work gets done to code the first time.

Lake Dallas has a mix of older homes and newer builds, and we’ve worked on both. We know which panels fail first, what storm damage looks like before it becomes dangerous, and how to upgrade your system without tearing apart your whole house.

Here's What Happens When You Call

You call or submit a request online. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—flickering lights, breaker issues, outlets not working, whatever it is. If it’s an emergency, we move faster. If it’s not, we schedule a time that works for you.

When we arrive, we diagnose the issue. That means actually looking at your electrical system, not guessing. Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in terms that make sense and give you a price before we do anything. No surprises when the bill comes.

Most repairs get finished the same day because our trucks carry the parts we need. Panel upgrades or bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you upfront how long to expect. If we need to pull permits, we handle that. When the work’s done, we test everything, clean up, and make sure you understand what we did and why.

What's Included in Our Electrical Services

We handle electrical repairs—outlets that don’t work, circuits that trip, lights that flicker. We also do safety inspections if you’re buying a home in Lake Dallas or just want to know if your system is up to code. Breaker panel installations and upgrades are a big part of what we do, especially for older homes that need more capacity.

Whole-house surge protection is something more Lake Dallas homeowners are asking about, and for good reason. Summer storms here can fry electronics in seconds. A surge protector at your panel catches that before it reaches your TV, computer, or appliances.

We install backup generators for homes and businesses that can’t afford to lose power. We also design and install recessed lighting if you’re updating a room or just tired of dim spaces. Every service comes with upfront pricing, licensed electricians, and a warranty on parts and labor. You’re not paying for a name—you’re paying for work that lasts.

Simple repairs like replacing a faulty outlet or fixing a tripped breaker usually run between $150 and $300. That covers the service call, diagnosis, and the fix. If the problem is more involved—like rewiring a circuit or replacing a subpanel—you’re looking at $800 to $3,000 depending on the scope.

Panel upgrades typically fall in the $1,500 to $3,500 range for most Lake Dallas homes. Whole-house surge protection runs around $400 to $800 installed. Backup generator installations vary widely based on size and fuel type, but expect $3,000 to $10,000 for a quality setup with installation.

We give you the price before we start. If something changes during the job, we tell you before moving forward. No one likes surprise charges, and we don’t operate that way.

If your home was built before 1990 and you’re tripping breakers regularly, yes. Older panels weren’t designed for modern electrical loads. You’re running more appliances, more electronics, and higher-draw devices than the original system was built to handle.

Another sign is if you’re adding something new—like a hot tub, EV charger, or a large HVAC system—and your current panel doesn’t have the capacity. Most older Lake Dallas homes have 100-amp or 150-amp panels. Modern homes typically need 200 amps to run everything safely.

Upgrading your panel also matters for insurance and resale. Some insurance companies won’t cover homes with outdated panels, and buyers often request electrical inspections before closing. A panel upgrade usually takes four to eight hours and solves the problem for decades.

We offer 24/7 emergency electrical services and typically reach Lake Dallas locations within 60 to 90 minutes. That’s for true emergencies—sparking outlets, burning smells, complete power loss, or anything that poses an immediate safety risk.

When you call, we’ll ask questions to assess the situation. If it’s dangerous, we move fast. If it can wait until morning without risk, we’ll tell you that too and schedule a time that works better. Honesty saves you money on emergency rates when it’s not actually an emergency.

Our trucks are fully stocked with common parts, so most emergency repairs get completed during that first visit. If we need a specialty part or if the issue requires a bigger fix, we’ll make the situation safe and come back to finish the job.

A licensed electrical contractor in Lake Dallas holds a Texas Electrical Contractor License issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Registration. That means they’ve met state requirements for training, testing, and insurance. If something goes wrong, you’re protected.

Unlicensed electricians might be cheaper upfront, but they put you at risk. If they do faulty work and your house catches fire, your insurance might not cover it. If they get hurt on your property, you could be liable. And if the work isn’t up to code, you’ll pay someone else to fix it later—usually for more than it would’ve cost to do it right the first time.

Every electrician on our team carries current licensing and insurance. We pull permits when required and make sure inspections pass. That’s not extra—it’s standard. You’re hiring a professional, not taking a gamble.

If you want to protect your electronics and appliances from power surges caused by lightning or grid fluctuations, yes. North Texas gets intense summer storms, and a direct or nearby lightning strike can send a surge through your electrical system that fries anything plugged in.

A whole-house surge protector installs at your main panel and stops surges before they reach your outlets. It’s different from the power strips you plug into—it protects everything in your home, including hardwired appliances like your HVAC system, refrigerator, and water heater.

Installation usually takes a couple of hours and costs between $400 and $800 depending on the unit. Compared to replacing a $2,000 TV, a $1,500 computer, and a $3,000 HVAC board, it’s a small investment. Most Lake Dallas homeowners who’ve had surge damage wish they’d installed one sooner.

Simple jobs like installing a ceiling fan, replacing an outlet, or fixing a tripped circuit take one to three hours. Breaker panel upgrades usually take four to eight hours, depending on the size of your home and whether we need to run new wiring.

Whole-house rewiring is a bigger project. For most Lake Dallas homes, expect three to seven days. We work in stages—rough-in wiring first, then drywall repair if needed, then final connections and testing. We’ll give you a timeline before starting so you know what to expect.

Generator installations depend on the type. Portable generator hookups take a few hours. Standby generators that run on natural gas or propane take one to three days, including the electrical work, gas line connection, and permitting. We handle all of it and keep you updated throughout the process.
