Your breakers shouldn’t trip every time you run the AC and microwave at the same time. Your lights shouldn’t flicker when the dishwasher starts. And you definitely shouldn’t smell burning plastic near your electrical panel.
These aren’t minor annoyances. They’re signs your electrical system can’t handle what you’re asking it to do. Most homes in this area built before 2000 were wired for a different era—before smart homes, electric vehicles, and the kind of cooling load a North Texas summer demands.
When your electrical system works the way it should, you stop thinking about it. No more resetting breakers in the garage. No more wondering if that warm outlet is dangerous. Just reliable power that handles everything your household throws at it, even during storm season.
Carroll Service Company is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth. We’ve spent over 25 years working in homes and businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth and Mid-Cities areas, including Paloma Creek South.
Our team is fully licensed and insured. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List—not because we chase awards, but because we show up on time, explain what’s wrong, and fix it right.
Paloma Creek South sits in one of the fastest-growing parts of Denton County. We’ve worked in enough homes here to know what electrical issues come up most often: outdated panels that can’t support modern loads, storm damage from severe weather, and older wiring that wasn’t designed for today’s demands. We handle residential and commercial electrical work, from troubleshooting a single circuit to complete panel upgrades.
You call or contact us online. We ask a few questions to understand what’s going on—whether it’s an emergency or something you’ve been putting off. If it’s urgent, we move fast.
We schedule a time that works for you. Our electricians arrive in fully stocked service vehicles, so most repairs get done during the first visit. We don’t make multiple trips to pick up parts you’re already paying us to have.
Before we start any work, we explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost. You get a detailed estimate upfront—no surprises, no inflated bills after the fact. If you approve, we get to work. If you don’t, you’re not obligated.
Once the job’s done, we test everything to make sure it works. We clean up. And we back our work with a comprehensive warranty that covers parts and labor. For bigger jobs like electrical panel upgrades, that warranty runs two to five years.

We handle electrical repairs, electrical troubleshooting, electrical maintenance, and installations for homes and businesses. That includes breaker panel installations and upgrades, recessed lighting design and installation, whole-house surge protection, backup generator installations, and wiring for EV charging stations.
If your home was built before 1990, there’s a good chance your electrical panel can’t safely handle modern appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics. Most homes today need 200-amp service to avoid constant breaker trips and potential fire hazards. We evaluate your current system, recommend what you actually need, and install code-compliant electrical panel upgrades that pass inspection the first time.
North Texas storms knock out power when you need it most—summer heat waves and winter freezes included. We install backup generators with automatic transfer switches that kick on within seconds of losing power. That includes site evaluation, gas line connections, and full electrical integration so your home stays powered without you lifting a finger.
Whole-house surge protection isn’t just for lightning strikes. Power surges from the grid or your own appliances cycling on and off can fry electronics over time. We install surge protection systems that guard everything plugged into your home, from your HVAC to your Wi-Fi router.
If your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when you turn on major appliances, or your panel feels warm to the touch, those are clear signs your system is overloaded. Most homes built before 1990 have 100-amp or 150-amp panels, which can’t safely handle the electrical load of modern living.
You’re asking that panel to power central air conditioning, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a washer and dryer, multiple computers, TVs, phone chargers, and possibly an electric vehicle. It wasn’t designed for that. When you exceed capacity, breakers trip to prevent wires from overheating—but if breakers fail or you ignore the warning signs, you’re looking at potential fire hazards.
An electrical panel upgrade to 200-amp service gives your home the capacity it needs. The process involves installing a new panel, updating the main service line if necessary, and making sure everything meets current National Electrical Code standards. In Fort Worth and surrounding areas like Paloma Creek South, the cost typically runs between $1,800 and $3,200 depending on your home’s size and complexity. We provide a detailed estimate before starting any work.
If you see sparks, smell burning plastic, or notice smoke coming from an outlet or panel, shut off power at the main breaker if it’s safe to do so and call an electrician immediately. Don’t wait. Electrical fires move fast.
If a breaker won’t reset or keeps tripping, don’t force it. That breaker is doing its job by cutting power to a circuit that’s overloaded or shorting out. Forcing it back on won’t fix the underlying problem—it just puts your home at risk.
We offer emergency electrical repair services with rapid response times. In many cases, we can arrive within twenty minutes depending on where you’re located in the Paloma Creek South area. Our trucks carry common parts and materials, so we can handle most emergency repairs on the spot. If it’s something more complex, we’ll make your home safe, explain what needs to happen next, and schedule the full repair as quickly as possible.
Electrical service rates in Paloma Creek South typically range from $36 to $54 per hour, but most electricians don’t charge by the hour—they charge by the job. That total depends on what needs to be done, how long it takes, and what materials are required.
A simple repair like replacing a faulty outlet might cost $150 to $250. Installing a new circuit for a home office or EV charger could run $500 to $1,200. A full electrical panel upgrade usually falls between $1,800 and $3,200. Whole-house generator installations start around $3,500 and go up depending on the size and fuel source.
We give you a detailed, upfront estimate before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for—labor, materials, permits if needed—and there won’t be surprise charges when the job’s done. If the scope changes or we find additional issues, we talk to you first. You’re never locked into something you didn’t agree to.
Yes. Installing an EV charger involves more than just plugging something into an outlet. Most Level 2 home chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to what powers your dryer or oven. If your electrical panel doesn’t have the capacity, we’ll need to upgrade it first.
We start by evaluating your current electrical system to see if it can handle the additional load. If you’re already maxing out a 100-amp or 150-amp panel, adding an EV charger could overload the system and trip breakers constantly. In that case, upgrading to a 200-amp panel makes sense—not just for the charger, but for everything else you’re powering.
Once your panel can support it, we install the dedicated circuit, mount the charger where you want it (usually in your garage), and make sure everything is wired to code. The whole process typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on how much electrical work is involved. You’ll end up with a safe, reliable charging setup that’s ready whenever you need it.
A complete backup generator installation usually takes one to three days depending on the complexity of your setup. That includes site evaluation, running gas lines if you’re using natural gas or propane, installing the generator itself, connecting it to your electrical panel, and setting up the automatic transfer switch.
The transfer switch is what makes the system automatic. When it detects a power outage, it signals the generator to start and switches your home’s power source from the grid to the generator—usually within ten to twenty seconds. When grid power comes back, it switches everything back and shuts the generator down.
We handle the entire process from start to finish: permitting, installation, electrical integration, and testing. Once it’s up and running, we walk you through basic maintenance so you know what to expect. Most standby generators need an oil change and filter replacement once a year, similar to a car. We can handle that for you, or you can do it yourself if you prefer.
Yes. All of our electrical work comes with a comprehensive warranty that covers both parts and labor. For standard repairs and installations, the warranty typically runs one year. For larger projects like electrical panel upgrades or generator installations, we offer extended coverage ranging from two to five years depending on the scope of work.
If something goes wrong with work we’ve done, we come back and fix it at no additional cost. That’s assuming normal use—if you or another contractor modify the system after we leave, that’s a different situation. But if it’s our work and it fails, we stand behind it.
We also make sure all of our installations meet current National Electrical Code standards and local Fort Worth requirements. That means your work passes inspection the first time, and you won’t run into issues down the road when you sell your home or file an insurance claim. Code-compliant work isn’t just about following rules—it’s about making sure your electrical system is safe and reliable for the long term.
