You flip a switch and the lights come on. Your panel handles the load when you’re running the AC, charging devices, and doing laundry at the same time. Your circuit breakers aren’t tripping every other week.
That’s what proper electrical work gets you—a system that works without you thinking about it. No more wondering if that flickering light is a fire hazard. No more breakers that trip when you plug in one extra thing.
When your electrical system is done right, you’re not dealing with service calls every few months. You’re not worrying about whether your home can handle a generator installation or if your panel is up to code. You know it works because it was installed by a licensed electrician in Pelican Bay, TX who’s been doing this for over 25 years.
Carroll Service Co has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in the Fort Worth area for more than 25 years. We’re family-owned, fully licensed and insured, and we’ve seen what happens when electrical systems aren’t maintained properly.
Pelican Bay sits in Tarrant County, where aging infrastructure and Texas’s independent power grid mean outages hit harder than they should. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners prepare for the next storm, upgrade outdated panels, and fix wiring that should’ve been replaced years ago.
You’re not getting a national chain that doesn’t know the area. You’re working with people who live here, understand how Texas weather affects electrical systems, and have an A+ BBB rating because we show up and do the work right.
First, we show up on time and actually listen to what’s going on. You tell us about the breaker that keeps tripping, the outlets that don’t work, or the panel that’s older than your mortgage. We ask questions that matter and take a look at your system.
Then we give you a straight answer. If your panel needs an upgrade, we’ll tell you why and what it’ll cost. If it’s a simple fix, we’re not going to upsell you on work you don’t need. We walk you through what we found, what needs to happen, and how long it’ll take.
Once you approve the work, we handle the electrical troubleshooting, repairs, or installation. We pull permits when required, follow code, and clean up when we’re done. You get a system that works, documentation for your records, and a phone number you can call if something comes up later.

We handle electrical panel upgrades for homes that are still running on 100-amp service when they need 200. That matters in Pelican Bay, where 62% of residents own their homes and many of those properties are dealing with outdated electrical systems that can’t support modern demands.
Wiring installation and home rewiring services cover everything from adding circuits for new appliances to replacing aluminum wiring that’s a known fire hazard. We also install whole-house surge protection—something that makes a real difference when Texas ranks second in the nation for power outages.
For commercial clients, we handle electrical maintenance, lighting upgrades, and code compliance work. And when the power goes out—which it does here—we install backup generators so your family or business isn’t sitting in the dark waiting for the grid to come back online.
If your breakers trip regularly, your panel is warm to the touch, or you’re still running on a 100-amp service, it’s time to upgrade. Most homes built before 1990 weren’t designed for the electrical load we use today—think central AC, electric vehicles, smart home devices, and modern appliances all running at once.
Another sign is if you’re using extension cords as a permanent solution or if your lights dim when you turn on a major appliance. That means your system is maxed out. In Pelican Bay, TX, where the median home was built decades ago, outdated panels are common and they’re not just inconvenient—they’re a safety risk.
An electrical panel upgrade typically takes a day, requires a permit, and gets you a system that can actually handle your household’s power needs. It also makes your home safer and can lower your insurance premiums.
First, check if it’s just your home or the whole neighborhood. If your neighbors have power and you don’t, check your main breaker panel. Sometimes a tripped main breaker is the issue and you can reset it yourself.
If that doesn’t work, or if you smell burning, see sparks, or notice damage to your electrical panel, don’t touch anything—call us right away. Electrical damage from storms can be dangerous and it’s not something to troubleshoot on your own.
For future storms, consider a backup generator installation. Texas had over 4.5 million homes lose power during Winter Storm Uri, and Pelican Bay wasn’t spared. A standby generator kicks on automatically when the grid goes down, keeping your heat, refrigerator, and essentials running until power is restored.
It depends on the work. A service call for electrical troubleshooting usually starts around $100-$200, which covers the diagnostic visit. Simple repairs like replacing an outlet or fixing a light fixture might add another $100-$300 depending on complexity and materials.
Bigger jobs cost more. An electrical panel upgrade typically runs $1,500-$3,000 depending on the amperage and whether we need to update your meter base or service entrance. Home rewiring services can range from $3,000 to $10,000+ depending on the size of your home and how much access we have to your walls.
We give you a clear estimate before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees. And because we’re local to the Fort Worth area, you’re not paying inflated rates from a company that’s driving in from an hour away.
Yes. We’re licensed for both residential electrician work and commercial electrician projects in Pelican Bay, TX. On the residential side, that’s everything from wiring installation and panel upgrades to generator hookups and whole-house surge protection.
For commercial clients, we handle electrical maintenance, lighting retrofits, code compliance updates, and tenant improvement work. We’ve worked on retail spaces, offices, and small industrial facilities throughout Tarrant County.
The process is similar regardless of property type—we assess what you need, give you a detailed estimate, pull the right permits, and complete the work to code. The main difference is that commercial jobs often require more coordination with other trades and stricter timelines, which we’re set up to handle.
Most electrical panel upgrades take one full day, sometimes stretching into a second day depending on the complexity. We’ll need to shut off your power for several hours while we swap out the old panel, install the new one, and reconnect all your circuits.
If your meter base also needs replacing or if we’re upgrading your service entrance, that adds time and requires coordination with your utility company. In Pelican Bay, TX, we’re familiar with Oncor’s requirements and how to schedule the disconnect and reconnect to minimize your downtime.
We’ll walk you through the timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly. That means charging devices, knowing your fridge will be off for a bit, and making sure someone’s home to let us in. Once it’s done, you’ll have a modern panel that can handle your electrical load safely and reliably.
Yes, for most major electrical work. Electrical panel upgrades, home rewiring services, generator installations, and adding new circuits all require permits in Tarrant County. The permit process ensures the work meets current electrical code and gets inspected by the local authority.
Some minor repairs—like replacing a light fixture or outlet—don’t require permits. But if we’re opening walls, upgrading your service, or doing anything that affects your home’s electrical capacity, we’re pulling a permit.
We handle the permit process for you. That includes submitting the application, scheduling inspections, and making sure everything passes. It’s part of doing the job right, and it protects you if you ever sell your home or file an insurance claim.
