Your lights stop flickering when the AC kicks on. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and toaster at once. That outlet that’s been warm to the touch gets replaced before it becomes a fire hazard.
You’re not dealing with the same electrical issues over and over because someone actually diagnosed the root cause instead of slapping a band-aid on it. Your electrical panel can handle your home’s actual power needs without overheating or failing during a storm.
If the power goes out, your backup generator kicks in automatically. You’re not scrambling for flashlights or worrying about your refrigerator full of food. Your family stays comfortable regardless of what’s happening with the grid.
The electrical work in your home meets current code standards. When you go to sell, there’s no scramble to fix violations or outdated systems that scare off buyers or tank your appraisal.
Carroll Service Co has been handling residential electrical services in Colleyville, TX and throughout the Mid-Cities for over 25 years. We’re a family-owned operation based in Fort Worth, which means you’re working with people who live in this area and understand how North Texas weather beats up electrical systems.
We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and multiple Super Service Awards from Angie’s List. Those aren’t participation trophies. They reflect years of showing up on time, doing the work right, and standing behind what we install.
Many of Colleyville’s homes were built in the ’60s through ’80s with electrical systems that can’t handle modern demands. We’ve upgraded hundreds of panels, rewired older homes, and installed generators for families tired of losing power every time a storm rolls through. You’re getting licensed, insured technicians who know the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.
You call or message us with your electrical issue. We schedule a time that works for you and actually show up when we say we will. Our technician arrives in a fully stocked truck with the tools and parts to handle most repairs on the spot.
First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong. Not what might be wrong or what could possibly be the issue. We test, inspect, and figure out the root cause. Then we explain what we found in plain language and give you an upfront price before touching anything.
If you approve the work, we get it done right then in most cases. We’re not making multiple trips for a simple repair. For bigger jobs like panel upgrades or whole-home rewiring, we walk you through the timeline and what to expect each day.
After the work’s complete, we test everything to make sure it’s functioning properly and meets code. We clean up our work area. You get documentation of what was done, including warranty information. If you have questions a week later or a year later, you can call us.

We handle home electrical repair and installation services across Colleyville. That includes troubleshooting problems like outlets that don’t work, lights that dim randomly, or breakers that trip constantly. We also do electrical troubleshooting for homes with more complex issues where the cause isn’t obvious.
Panel upgrades are a big part of what we do here. Colleyville has plenty of homes with 100-amp panels trying to power modern appliances, HVAC systems, and electronics. We upgrade to 200-amp service so your system can handle the load without overheating or failing.
Home wiring installation covers everything from adding circuits for new appliances to completely rewiring older homes with outdated or dangerous wiring. We install GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms where code requires them. We add dedicated circuits for equipment that needs it.
Generator installation is increasingly common in this area. Texas summers strain the grid, and winter storms can leave you without power for days. We install whole-house generators that automatically kick in when the power goes out, keeping your AC, refrigerator, and essential systems running.
We also handle recessed lighting installation, ceiling fan wiring, surge protection systems, and safety inspections. If it involves your home’s electrical system, we’ve done it hundreds of times.
Most straightforward repairs run between $150 and $400 depending on what’s involved. That usually covers things like replacing a faulty outlet, fixing a tripped GFCI, or diagnosing and repairing a circuit that’s not working.
Bigger jobs cost more because they take more time and materials. A panel upgrade typically runs $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the amperage and how much work is involved in bringing everything up to code. Whole-home rewiring can range from $3,000 to $8,000 or more for larger homes.
We give you an upfront price before starting any work. You’ll know exactly what it costs and what’s included. No surprise charges when we’re done. The current market rate for licensed electricians in Texas runs $35 to $53 per hour, but we price most jobs by the project, not by the hour, so you’re not watching the clock.
Your breakers trip frequently even though you’re not running anything unusual. That’s your panel telling you it can’t handle your home’s electrical load. If you’re constantly resetting breakers or avoiding using certain appliances at the same time, your panel is undersized.
You see rust, corrosion, or scorch marks on or around your panel. That’s a safety issue that needs immediate attention. Same goes if your panel feels warm to the touch or you smell burning plastic near it.
Your home has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel. These brands are known fire hazards and should be replaced regardless of how they’re performing. Many insurance companies won’t even cover homes with these panels anymore. If your home was built before 1990 and still has the original 100-amp panel, it’s worth having us evaluate whether it can safely handle your current electrical demands.
A repair fixes a specific problem with your existing wiring. Maybe a circuit stopped working because of a loose connection, or an outlet failed and needs replacement. We’re working within your current electrical system to restore function.
A full rewire means replacing most or all of the wiring in your home. This happens when your wiring is outdated, damaged, or dangerous. Homes built in the ’60s and ’70s often have aluminum wiring that’s a known fire hazard. Older cloth-insulated wiring breaks down over time and can cause shorts or fires.
You’ll know you might need rewiring if you have frequent electrical problems throughout the house, not just in one area. If your home has two-prong outlets everywhere, that’s a sign the wiring doesn’t include a ground wire, which is a safety issue. During a rewire, we pull new copper wiring through your walls, install a modern panel, add proper grounding, and bring everything up to current code. It’s invasive and takes several days, but it’s the right fix for homes with truly outdated systems.
Yes. We respond to emergency calls 24/7 throughout Colleyville and the surrounding area. Electrical emergencies include things like sparking outlets, burning smells, exposed wires, complete power loss, or any situation where you feel unsafe.
If you’re experiencing an actual emergency, call us immediately. We’ll talk you through any immediate safety steps and get someone to your home as quickly as possible. For sparking or smoking electrical components, shut off power at the main breaker if you can do so safely, then get everyone out of the house.
Not every after-hours call is a true emergency. If your power is out but your neighbors have power, that’s usually a panel issue that needs attention soon but isn’t necessarily life-threatening. If an outlet stopped working but nothing is sparking or smoking, that can typically wait until normal business hours. We’ll help you determine the urgency level and respond accordingly. Emergency calls do carry higher rates because we’re pulling technicians from their off-hours, but your safety is worth it.
Most residential generator installations take two to three days from start to finish. Day one involves site preparation, pouring a concrete pad for the generator to sit on, and running the gas line if you’re using natural gas.
Day two covers the electrical work. We install a transfer switch that automatically shifts your home from grid power to generator power when an outage occurs. We wire the generator to your panel and make sure all the circuits you want backed up are properly connected.
Day three is testing and final inspection. We run the generator through multiple cycles, verify the transfer switch works correctly, and make sure everything meets code. You’ll need a permit for generator installation in Colleyville, and we handle that paperwork as part of the job.
The timeline can stretch longer if we’re waiting on permits, if your home needs significant electrical upgrades before the generator can be installed safely, or if you’re choosing a larger unit that requires more complex installation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific situation.
Make sure they’re licensed and insured. Texas requires electrical contractors to hold a current license, and you can verify that online through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Insurance protects you if something goes wrong during the job.
Ask for upfront pricing. You should know what the work will cost before they start, not after they’re done. Be wary of anyone who can’t or won’t give you a clear estimate.
Check their track record. How long have they been in business? What do their reviews say? An A+ BBB rating and industry awards like Super Service Awards indicate consistent quality and customer satisfaction over time, not just one or two good jobs.
Find out if they guarantee their work. We warranty both parts and labor on our installations because we use quality materials and stand behind our workmanship. If someone won’t warranty their work, that tells you something about their confidence in what they’re installing.
