Hear from Our Customers
An electrical emergency hits at the worst possible time. Your breaker keeps tripping. Outlets are sparking. The smell of burning wiring fills your home. You’re not sure if it’s safe to stay inside.
You need someone who answers the phone, shows up fast, and fixes it right. Not tomorrow. Not during business hours. Now.
That’s what same day electrician service in Denton County looks like with us at Carroll Service Co. We respond to urgent electrical repair calls across Denton County—from the historic neighborhoods near the square to newer developments in Corinth and Argyle. Our trucks are stocked with the parts needed to handle most emergency electrical repair situations on the first visit. You get a licensed electrician who knows Texas codes, carries proper insurance, and has spent over 25 years solving problems like yours.
We’ve been serving the Dallas-Fort Worth area for more than 25 years at Carroll Service Co. We’re a family-owned electrical contractor, not a call center that farms out your emergency to whoever’s available.
Every electrician on our team is licensed, insured, and background-checked. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List—not because we’re perfect, but because we show up and do what we say we’ll do.
Denton County homeowners deal with ice storms that knock out power, aging electrical panels in older homes near downtown Denton, and the kind of wiring issues that come with rapid growth in areas like Little Elm and The Colony. We’ve seen it all, and we know how to fix it without upselling you on work you don’t need.
You call our emergency line. A real person answers—not a recording. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening and whether it’s safe for you to stay in your home until we arrive.
We dispatch a licensed emergency electrician to your location in Denton County, TX. Most calls get a response within the hour, depending on your exact location and current call volume. Our electrician arrives in a fully stocked truck with the tools and common parts needed for emergency electrical repair.
The electrician diagnoses the problem, explains what’s wrong in plain language, and gives you a clear price before starting work. No surprise charges. No “we’ll have to come back tomorrow” unless the repair genuinely requires a custom part. Most urgent electrical repair jobs get completed the same day—or at minimum, we make your home safe and schedule a follow-up for any additional work.
Once the repair is done, we test everything to make sure it’s working correctly and meets Texas electrical codes. You get documentation of the work performed, and we’re available if you have questions after we leave.

Power outages are common in Denton County during ice storms and severe weather. We handle emergency wiring repair, restore power after storm damage, and troubleshoot issues with your main electrical panel. If your breaker keeps tripping or won’t reset, that’s often a sign of a bigger problem—and one we can diagnose on the spot.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, and flickering lights all require immediate attention. These aren’t minor inconveniences. They’re fire hazards. Our 24 hour electrician service in Denton County addresses these safety issues before they escalate into something worse.
We also handle emergency repairs for backup generators—critical for Denton County residents who’ve experienced extended outages during winter storms. If your generator won’t start when you need it most, we’ll get it running or identify what needs to be replaced.
Denton County’s mix of older homes near UNT and newer construction in suburbs like Lantana means we see everything from outdated fuse boxes to modern smart home systems that stop working. Whatever your electrical emergency looks like, we’ve handled it before.
Response time depends on where you’re located in Denton County and how many emergency calls we’re handling at that moment. Most customers see an electrician within 60 to 90 minutes of calling.
If you’re in Denton, Lewisville, or Flower Mound, we’re typically faster because those areas are closer to our service radius. If you’re in a more rural part of the county, it might take a bit longer—but we’ll give you an honest estimate when you call.
During severe weather events like ice storms, response times can stretch longer because everyone’s calling at once. We prioritize calls based on safety risk. If you’re dealing with sparking wires, burning smells, or exposed electrical components, you move to the front of the line.
If it’s a safety hazard, it’s an emergency. Sparking outlets, burning smells, buzzing sounds from your electrical panel, or any situation where you see smoke or exposed wiring—those need immediate attention.
Complete power loss also qualifies, especially if your neighbors still have power. That usually means the problem is isolated to your home’s electrical system, not the utility company’s lines. Same goes for breakers that won’t reset or keep tripping repeatedly.
Flickering lights or a single outlet that stopped working? Those can often wait until regular business hours unless they’re accompanied by other warning signs. If you’re not sure, call anyway. We’d rather talk you through it and confirm it’s not urgent than have you ignore something dangerous.
Yes, emergency calls outside of normal business hours typically cost more than scheduled appointments. That’s standard across the industry because we’re pulling electricians away from their families at night or on weekends to respond to your emergency.
The exact rate depends on the time of day and the nature of the repair. We’ll give you clear pricing information over the phone before we dispatch someone, so there’s no confusion when the bill comes.
What we don’t do is pad the estimate with unnecessary work. If your problem can be fixed with a simple repair, that’s what we’ll do—even if we could justify a bigger job. Our reputation in Denton County matters more than maximizing a single invoice.
It depends on what caused the damage. If a storm knocked out your power and damaged your electrical panel, there’s a good chance your homeowner’s policy will cover at least part of the repair. Same goes for fire damage or other sudden, unexpected events.
If the problem is due to normal wear and tear—like an aging breaker box that finally gave out—insurance typically won’t cover it. That’s considered a maintenance issue, not a covered loss.
We can provide detailed documentation of the work we perform, including photos and a written explanation of what failed and why. That makes it easier for you to file a claim if your situation qualifies. Some customers call their insurance company first to confirm coverage before authorizing the repair, which is a smart move if the cost is significant.
Yes. Storm damage is one of the most common reasons Denton County residents call for emergency electrical repair. Ice storms, high winds, and lightning strikes can all damage your home’s electrical system.
If a surge fried your breaker panel or damaged outlets throughout your home, we’ll assess the extent of the damage and make the necessary repairs. In some cases, that means replacing the panel entirely. In others, it’s a matter of replacing individual breakers or outlets.
We also install whole-house surge protection, which is worth considering if you’ve already dealt with storm-related electrical damage. Denton County sees its share of severe weather, and surge protectors can save you thousands in future repairs by preventing damage to your electrical system and appliances before it happens.
Yes. Every electrician who responds to emergency calls for us at Carroll Service Co is fully licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. We’re also insured, which protects both you and us if something goes wrong during the repair.
Licensing matters because electrical work is dangerous and highly regulated. An unlicensed handyman might charge less, but if they make a mistake, you’re liable—and your homeowner’s insurance might refuse to cover damage caused by unpermitted work.
We’ve been operating in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for over 25 years, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way. That includes carrying proper credentials, pulling permits when required, and making sure every repair meets current Texas electrical codes.
