Hear from Our Customers
You’re not looking for the cheapest bid. You’re looking for an electrical contractor in Savannah, TX who shows up when promised, pulls the right permits, and doesn’t cut corners on materials or code compliance.
That’s what 25 years in the DFW area teaches you. We’ve seen what happens when panel upgrades use residential-grade components instead of commercial-grade parts. We’ve walked into homes where unlicensed work voided insurance coverage after a fire. We’ve responded to emergencies that could’ve been prevented with proper electrical maintenance.
Every electrician on our team carries current Texas TDLR licensing. Every job meets NEC 2023 code requirements. Every installation uses UL-listed components and NEMA-rated outlets that won’t need replacing in five years. You get work that passes inspection the first time, protects your insurance coverage, and actually holds up when you need it most.
Carroll Service Company started because too many homeowners in the DFW and Mid-Cities area were dealing with electricians who didn’t show up or didn’t finish the job right. For over 25 years, we’ve built our reputation on doing exactly what we say we’ll do.
We’re not a franchise. We’re a family-owned residential electrician and commercial electrician serving Savannah, Texas and the surrounding area. Our A+ BBB rating and multiple Angie’s List Super Service Awards didn’t come from marketing—they came from showing up on time, communicating clearly about pricing, and treating your property like it’s our own.
When you call us for wiring installation or electrical troubleshooting in Savannah, TX, you’re getting licensed electricians who know local permit requirements and have been navigating Fort Worth-area codes for decades.
First, we answer the phone. If it’s an emergency, we’re responding same-day because we know Texas heat makes power outages dangerous.
For scheduled work, we show up at the agreed time and walk through exactly what needs to happen. You get transparent pricing before any work starts—no surprise charges, no hidden fees. We explain what permits are required for your specific project in Savannah, Texas, and we pull them ourselves.
During the job, we use commercial-grade materials and follow current NEC 2023 standards. That means proper wire sizing, correct breaker ratings, and grounding that actually protects your home. If we’re doing an electrical panel upgrade or home rewiring services, we’re coordinating inspections and making sure everything passes the first time.
After we finish, we walk you through what we did and answer any questions. You’re not left guessing whether the work was done right—you’ll know because it’s documented, inspected, and backed by our licensing and insurance.

We handle electrical services in Savannah, Texas for both homes and businesses. That includes electrical panel upgrades when your current system can’t handle modern loads, wiring installation for additions or renovations, and electrical maintenance to catch problems before they become emergencies.
Generator installation has become critical in this area. After the 2021 winter storm left 4.5 million Texas homes without power and at least 246 people died, backup power isn’t a luxury anymore. We install whole-house standby generators that kick on automatically when the grid goes down, keeping your heat, refrigeration, and medical equipment running.
Savannah sits in an area where aging electrical infrastructure is common. Around 70% of the U.S. grid is over 25 years old, and residential wiring from that era wasn’t designed for today’s electrical loads. If your lights dim when the AC turns on, or you’re smelling burning near outlets, those are signs your system needs attention. We do electrical troubleshooting to find the actual source of problems—not just patch symptoms.
Every job gets the same approach: licensed electricians, code-compliant work, and materials that last. Whether it’s a commercial tenant improvement or a residential service call, you’re getting the same level of attention and expertise.
Yes, and here’s why it matters more than you think. Texas homeowners’ insurance won’t cover damage or fire caused by unlicensed electrical work. If something goes wrong and the insurance adjuster finds out the work wasn’t done by a licensed electrician, you’re paying for everything out of pocket.
Beyond insurance, licensed contractors know current code requirements. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation adopted the NEC 2023 code effective September 1, 2023. That code exists because people got hurt or properties got damaged when electrical work was done wrong. Even “small” jobs like adding an outlet or replacing a switch need to meet code for proper wire sizing, box fill calculations, and grounding.
Licensed electricians also pull permits when required. Different municipalities around Savannah have different permitting rules, and we know which projects need permits in your specific area. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Most residential panel upgrades take one full day, but the timeline depends on what we’re starting with and what you need. If we’re replacing a 100-amp panel with a 200-amp panel in the same location, that’s typically 6-8 hours of work including the inspection.
If your service entrance needs upgrading or we’re relocating the panel, add another day. If we’re also adding circuits for a generator, EV charger, or workshop, that extends the timeline. We’ll tell you exactly what to expect during the estimate.
The actual work involves coordinating a power shutoff with your utility company, installing the new panel and breakers, reconnecting all your circuits with proper labeling, and scheduling the inspection. You’ll be without power for several hours during the installation, so we help you plan around that. We don’t leave until everything’s reconnected, tested, and passes inspection.
Whole-house standby generator installation typically runs $8,000-$15,000 depending on the size you need and how far the generator sits from your electrical panel and gas line. That includes the generator unit, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad, gas line connection, electrical connections, and permits.
The generator itself is usually $3,000-$7,000. A 22kW unit handles most homes. If you’re running central AC, well pumps, or multiple large appliances, you might need a 26kW or larger unit. The transfer switch (which automatically switches your home from grid power to generator power) runs $1,500-$2,500 installed.
Installation labor covers running electrical conduit from your panel to the generator location, connecting to your natural gas line or propane tank, setting the concrete pad, and programming the transfer switch. We also handle all permitting and coordinate the required inspections. Given that Texas has seen multiple extended outages in recent years, most homeowners in Savannah view this as essential infrastructure, not an upgrade.
If your home was built before 1980 and hasn’t been rewired, there’s a good chance your electrical system isn’t safe for modern use. Warning signs include lights that flicker or dim when you run appliances, outlets that are warm to the touch, a burning smell near switches or outlets, or breakers that trip frequently.
Aluminum wiring was common in homes built between 1965-1975 and is a known fire hazard. Knob-and-tube wiring from pre-1950s homes has no grounding and can’t safely handle today’s electrical loads. Even copper wiring from the 1960s-70s often lacks the capacity for modern homes with multiple computers, large TVs, and high-efficiency HVAC systems.
During an electrical inspection, we check your panel for proper sizing, test outlets for correct grounding and polarity, look for overloaded circuits, and identify any code violations. Home rewiring services in Savannah, Texas typically involve running new wire through walls, upgrading the panel, adding circuits for dedicated appliances, and bringing everything up to current NEC 2023 standards. It’s not cheap, but it’s a lot less expensive than rebuilding after an electrical fire.
Start with licensing. Every electrician working on your property should carry current Texas TDLR licensing. Ask for their license number and verify it on the TDLR website. Don’t hire anyone who says they’re “working toward” their license or who only has a helper’s license.
Check their insurance. A legitimate electrical contractor in Savannah, TX carries both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation. If someone gets hurt on your property and they’re not covered, you could be liable. Ask to see current certificates of insurance.
Look at their track record. How long have they been in business? Do they have verifiable reviews on BBB, Google, or Angie’s List? Are they willing to provide references from recent jobs similar to yours? Companies that have been around for decades and maintain A+ ratings didn’t get there by doing sloppy work.
Get detailed written estimates. Vague quotes that say “electrical work – $X” are red flags. You want itemized pricing that breaks down materials, labor, permits, and exactly what work is included. And make sure they’re pulling permits for work that requires them—that’s not optional.
Yes. Electrical emergencies get same-day response because we understand that losing power in Texas heat isn’t just inconvenient—it’s dangerous. If you’re dealing with a complete power outage, sparking outlets, burning smells, or a panel that’s hot to the touch, that’s an emergency.
Our emergency electrical services cover the full DFW and Mid-Cities area including Savannah. When you call, you’re talking to our team, not an answering service. We assess the situation, give you a realistic timeframe for arrival, and walk you through any immediate safety steps you should take.
Emergency calls get priority scheduling, and we carry the most common parts and materials on our trucks so we can often solve the problem in one visit. You’ll get the same transparent pricing and licensed electricians as scheduled work—we don’t inflate prices just because it’s an emergency. We’ve been doing this for 25 years, and we know that earning your trust during a crisis is how we build long-term relationships in this community.
