You flip a switch and expect the lights to come on. You plug in your phone and expect it to charge. You turn on the AC during a Texas summer and expect it to run without tripping a breaker.
That’s what a properly maintained electrical system does. It doesn’t flicker during storms. It doesn’t overload when you’re running multiple appliances. It doesn’t leave you wondering if something’s about to go wrong.
Most homes in Double Oak are dealing with increased electrical demand. Smart home devices, home offices, EV chargers, upgraded HVAC systems. Your electrical panel wasn’t designed for all of this when your home was built. Upgrading your electrical system means you’re not constantly resetting breakers or worrying about whether your wiring can handle what you’re asking it to do. It means your home is safer, your power is reliable, and you’re not dealing with the same issues over and over.
We’re a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth. We’ve been doing residential and commercial electrical work in Double Oak and the surrounding areas for over 25 years.
We’re licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, fully insured, and we carry the required liability coverage. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and we’ve earned multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. Those aren’t just credentials. They’re proof that we show up, do the work right, and stand behind what we do.
Double Oak requires permits for electrical work, and we handle that process from start to finish. We know the local codes, we know what inspectors are looking for, and we make sure your project passes the first time.
You call or contact us with a problem or a project. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on and what you need. If it’s an emergency, we respond within one to two hours. If it’s a scheduled job, we set up a time that works for you.
We come out, assess the situation, and give you a written estimate before we start any work. No surprises. No hidden fees. You know what the job costs before we touch anything.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle the permit application if one’s required. We do the work according to Double Oak’s building codes and safety standards. When the job’s done, we schedule the inspection and make sure everything passes. You get a system that’s safe, compliant, and built to last. If something comes up later, we’re a phone call away.

We handle electrical panel upgrades, which is one of the most common jobs we do in Double Oak. Older panels can’t keep up with modern electrical loads. Upgrading your panel means more capacity, better safety, and fewer headaches.
We do home rewiring services for homes that need updated wiring. If your home was built before 1980, there’s a good chance your wiring isn’t up to current standards. We also install wiring for new construction, additions, and remodels.
Electrical troubleshooting is another big part of what we do. Flickering lights, outlets that don’t work, breakers that keep tripping. We find the problem and fix it. We also do electrical maintenance to catch issues before they become emergencies. Regular inspections can save you thousands in repairs down the road.
We install EV chargers, backup generators, whole-house surge protection, recessed lighting, and landscape lighting. If it involves electricity, we can handle it. Every job is done by a licensed electrician in Double Oak, TX, and every job is backed by our commitment to quality and safety.
Yes. Double Oak requires building permits for all electrical installations, repairs, and upgrades. That includes panel replacements, wiring installations, outlet additions, and even some lighting work.
The permit process exists to make sure the work is done safely and meets local building codes. When you hire a licensed electrical contractor in Double Oak, TX, we handle the permit application and schedule the required inspections. If you skip the permit, you’re risking failed inspections down the road, fines, and problems when you try to sell your home.
We’ve seen homeowners try to avoid the permit process to save time or money, and it almost always costs more to fix later. Inspectors know what to look for, and unpermitted work is easy to spot. We pull the permits, do the work right, and make sure it passes inspection the first time.
If your breakers trip frequently, that’s a sign your panel is overloaded. If you’re adding new appliances, an EV charger, or a home addition, your current panel might not have enough capacity.
Most homes in Double Oak were built with 100-amp or 150-amp panels. Modern homes typically need 200 amps to handle the electrical load from HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, home offices, and charging stations. If your panel is more than 20 years old, it’s worth having it inspected.
Another red flag is if you have a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel. These brands are known for safety issues and should be replaced. An electrical panel upgrade in Double Oak, TX typically takes one day, and it’s one of the best investments you can make for your home’s safety and functionality. We assess your current system, recommend the right size panel, and handle the entire installation and inspection process.
Texas law requires all electrical work to be performed by a licensed electrician working for a licensed electrical contractor. Handymen aren’t licensed to do electrical work, and if something goes wrong, your homeowner’s insurance may not cover the damage.
A licensed electrician has completed the required training, passed state exams, and maintains continuing education to stay current on code changes. They carry liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. If there’s an accident or a problem with the work, you’re protected.
Handymen might charge less, but you’re taking on all the risk. We’ve been called out to fix electrical work done by unlicensed contractors, and it’s almost always more expensive to fix than it would have been to hire a licensed electrician in the first place. When you’re dealing with electricity, the stakes are too high to cut corners.
Permit processing times in Double Oak typically take a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the project and the town’s current workload. Simple jobs like outlet installations or lighting upgrades usually move faster than major panel upgrades or whole-home rewiring.
We submit the permit application with detailed plans and specifications. The town reviews the application to make sure it meets building codes. Once approved, we schedule the work and notify the town when we’re ready for inspection.
The inspection itself usually happens within a day or two of our request. If everything passes, you’re done. If the inspector finds an issue, we fix it and schedule a re-inspection. Because we know Double Oak’s codes and what inspectors are looking for, we rarely have issues with inspections. Handling permits is part of our electrical services in Double Oak, TX, and we make sure the process doesn’t slow down your project.
Yes, especially in Texas. Storms, lightning strikes, and power grid fluctuations are common here, and they can fry your electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems in seconds.
A whole-house surge protector installs at your electrical panel and protects everything in your home. It’s different from the power strips you plug into outlets. Those only protect individual devices. A whole-house system stops surges before they enter your home’s wiring.
With the average Double Oak home using over 1,200 kWh per month and filled with expensive electronics, smart home devices, and high-end appliances, a surge protector is cheap insurance. Installation takes a few hours and costs a fraction of what you’d pay to replace a fried HVAC system or home theater setup. We install surge protection as part of our electrical maintenance services, and most homeowners wish they’d done it sooner.
Texas law allows homeowners to do electrical work on their own primary residence, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. If you make a mistake, you’re putting your family at risk, and your homeowner’s insurance may not cover damage caused by DIY electrical work.
You’re also required to pull permits and pass inspections, just like a licensed contractor. Most homeowners don’t know the building codes well enough to pass an inspection on the first try. If your work fails inspection, you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to fix it anyway, and now you’re paying twice.
We’ve seen homeowners try to install their own panels, add circuits, or rewire rooms, and the results are almost always dangerous. Electrical work isn’t like painting or landscaping. One mistake can cause a fire or electrocution. If you’re dealing with anything beyond changing a light bulb, call a licensed electrical contractor in Double Oak, TX. It’s safer, faster, and it’ll be done right the first time.
