Your lights stop flickering. Your breakers stop tripping every time you run the microwave and AC together. Your outlets don’t feel warm to the touch anymore.
You’re not wondering if that burning smell is normal. You’re not Googling “is this safe” at 11 PM. Your electrical panel isn’t buzzing, your smart home devices actually stay connected, and your EV charger works the way it’s supposed to.
The work passes inspection the first time. You get a detailed breakdown of what was done and why. And if something doesn’t feel right six months from now, you have a number to call that someone actually answers.
Carroll Service Co is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Fort Worth, serving Dallas and the Mid-Cities for over 25 years. Every technician on our team is fully licensed and insured, and we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
We’ve wired new homes in Frisco, upgraded panels in older Dallas neighborhoods where homes still have aluminum wiring, and installed backup generators after too many families lost power during ice storms. We know what Dallas homes need because we’ve been inside thousands of them.
You’re not getting a sales pitch. You’re getting someone who knows the difference between a quick fix and a real solution, and who’ll tell you which one your home actually needs.
You call or submit a request online. We schedule a time that works for you, and we show up when we say we will.
Our electrician walks through your home and identifies the problem. If it’s a simple repair, we explain what’s wrong and what it’ll cost before we touch anything. If it’s more complicated—like outdated wiring or an undersized panel—we walk you through your options and let you decide what makes sense for your home and budget.
Once you approve the work, we pull the necessary permits, complete the installation or repair using commercial-grade materials, and coordinate inspections with the city. You get a detailed invoice, a warranty on the work, and a follow-up call to make sure everything’s still working the way it should.

Electrical troubleshooting for homes that keep tripping breakers, flickering lights, or outlets that don’t work. Panel upgrades for older Dallas homes that can’t handle modern power demands—especially if you’re adding an EV charger or whole-home surge protection.
Home wiring installation for new construction, additions, or rewiring projects in neighborhoods with aging infrastructure. Recessed lighting design and installation that actually looks good and doesn’t create hot spots in your ceiling. Backup generator installations so you’re not without power the next time a storm rolls through.
Dallas has thousands of homes built before 1980 with aluminum wiring, undersized panels, and outdated breaker boxes. Energy costs in the DFW area have jumped nearly 28% in the last five years, and summer bills routinely double for families running AC units on old electrical systems. We handle the upgrades that bring your home up to current NEC code, reduce your energy waste, and keep your family safe.
If your breakers trip frequently, your lights dim when you turn on appliances, or your panel is over 25 years old, it’s time to have it inspected. Most older Dallas homes were built with 100-amp panels, which can’t handle the load from modern electronics, HVAC systems, and EV chargers.
You’ll also need an upgrade if you’re adding square footage, installing a backup generator, or if your home still has a fuse box instead of breakers. Panels with aluminum wiring or signs of rust, corrosion, or burn marks should be replaced immediately—those are fire hazards.
We assess your current electrical load, check for code violations, and recommend the right size panel for your home. Most residential upgrades in Dallas require a 200-amp panel to meet current demand and pass inspection.
A licensed electrician has completed thousands of hours of training, passed state exams, and carries insurance that protects your property. A handyman doesn’t have that training, can’t pull permits, and isn’t legally allowed to do most electrical work in Texas.
If something goes wrong with unlicensed work—like a fire caused by improper wiring—your homeowner’s insurance may not cover the damage. You’ll also run into problems when you try to sell your home, because unpermitted electrical work has to be redone to pass inspection.
Licensed electricians follow the National Electrical Code and local Dallas requirements. We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and provide warranties on our work. That’s not just about following rules—it’s about making sure your home is safe and your investment is protected.
Rewiring costs depend on your home’s size, age, and how accessible the wiring is. A typical 1,500-square-foot home in Dallas runs between $8,000 and $15,000 for a complete rewire, including permits and inspections.
Older homes with plaster walls or limited attic access cost more because the work takes longer. Homes with aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube systems need full replacements to meet code. If you’re only rewiring part of the house—like adding circuits for a kitchen remodel—the cost is lower.
We provide upfront pricing after we assess your home. You’ll know exactly what the work includes, how long it’ll take, and what your total cost is before we start. No surprises, no change orders unless you request additional work.
Yes, as long as your electrical panel can handle the additional load. Most Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which draws about 40-50 amps. If your panel is already maxed out, you’ll need an upgrade before we can install the charger.
We assess your current electrical capacity, recommend the right charger for your vehicle, and handle the installation from start to finish. That includes running new wiring from your panel to the garage, mounting the charger, and pulling permits if required by the city.
Dallas has seen a 34% increase in EV registrations over the past year, and most homeowners in Frisco, McKinney, and Plano are adding chargers as part of home upgrades. We install chargers that are compatible with all major EV brands and built to last.
If you live in Dallas, yes. Severe thunderstorms and lightning strikes are common here, and power surges can fry electronics, damage appliances, and shorten the lifespan of anything plugged into your walls.
A whole-house surge protector installs at your electrical panel and protects everything in your home—not just the devices plugged into power strips. It’s especially important if you have expensive electronics, smart home systems, or medical equipment that can’t afford to go down.
Surge protectors cost a fraction of what you’d spend replacing a damaged HVAC system, refrigerator, or home theater setup. We install commercial-grade surge protection that handles the voltage spikes common in the Dallas power grid, and it comes with a warranty that covers both the device and connected equipment.
Simple repairs—like replacing outlets, fixing a tripped breaker, or troubleshooting a circuit—usually take a few hours. Panel upgrades, rewiring projects, and generator installations take longer, typically one to three days depending on the scope of work.
We give you a timeline upfront so you know what to expect. If we need to wait on permits or inspections, we’ll let you know before we start. Most cities in the Dallas area require inspections for panel upgrades, new circuits, and generator installations, which can add a day or two to the schedule.
We don’t leave your home without power, and we clean up after every job. You’ll know exactly when we’re starting, when we’ll be done, and what happens if something changes.
