Schedule it. We wire it. You're powered.
Dealing with a tripping breaker or a dead outlet? Those calls come in every day, and the fix is rarely as complicated as it looks from the outside. We handle the full range of fault calls: flickering lights, outlets that stopped working, a burning smell near a receptacle, sparking when something is plugged in, a breaker that trips every time a certain appliance runs, and situations where half the house goes dark for no clear reason.
A visit starts with a real diagnosis. We identify where the fault is before any work begins, and we explain what we found and what it takes to correct it. That includes checking whether GFCI or AFCI protection is in place where it should be. Both are code requirements in specific locations, and both exist because the circuits they protect carry a higher risk of shock or fire. If they are missing or have failed, we address that as part of the repair.
Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
This area has every kind of panel and circuit in it, from original equipment in homes built decades ago to fresh installs in new construction. When a panel is undersized, overloaded, or simply worn out, we handle the repair or replacement. That covers individual breaker replacement, full panel swaps, and service upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service when the load demands it.
A load calculation tells us whether the existing panel can carry what is being added. A new electric vehicle charger, a second HVAC circuit, or a home addition each draw real current, and a panel that was sized for a smaller load will not handle them safely. When an upgrade is warranted, we explain exactly why and what it involves. We give honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell.
Whole-house rewiring is another part of this work. Homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, or wiring that has simply aged past safe use get a full replacement. We also run dedicated circuits for specific loads: dryer outlets, 240-volt receptacles, electric ranges, and electric water heater wiring each require a circuit sized and wired for that load alone.
Let us handle the panel and the permits.
Wiring is easier to deal with when somebody explains it plainly, and most outlet and lighting work is straightforward to scope on the phone. Adding receptacles to a room that never had enough, installing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, or swapping in a dimmer switch are all jobs we handle on a single visit.
Lighting covers a wide range. Recessed and LED lighting installs, light fixture replacements, under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, outdoor and landscape lighting, and security or motion-sensor lights for the exterior of a home or commercial property all fall under this work. Ceiling fan installation and wiring is another common call, whether the fan is going into a room that already has a light box or one that needs a new circuit run.
Homes across this area have every kind of panel and circuit in them. Before any outlet, lighting, or fan work starts, we check what the existing wiring can support and confirm the circuit is appropriate for the load.
We'll get the job wired and finished.
Carrollton sits in a part of North Texas where the weather pushes electrical systems hard. A four-season climate brings both heating and cooling demand, and the region sees severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and occasional ice storms. The services below come up often here for that reason.
Denton County has a wide mix of housing stock, from older established neighborhoods in Carrollton to fast-growing new construction across the county. Older homes frequently carry panels that were never sized for today's loads, and even newer construction can reach capacity quickly when EV chargers, home additions, or large appliances are added. We handle 200-amp service upgrades, subpanel installation for detached structures or large additions, and commercial panel upgrades for businesses that need more capacity. The job starts with a load assessment so the new panel is sized correctly for what the property actually demands.
Texas grid stress is real, and Carrollton is not insulated from it. Heat waves, severe storms, and ice events have all produced extended outages across the North Dallas metro. On the electrical side, a backup generator installation covers the transfer switch, the dedicated circuit feeding the generator, and the load calculations that determine what the system can carry. We wire the connection between the generator and the home's panel so that the transfer is clean and the circuits that matter most stay powered.
Thunderstorm season in North Texas brings frequent lightning, and a single nearby strike can send a voltage spike through every circuit in the house. Point-of-use power strips offer limited protection at individual outlets. A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and catches surges before they reach the wiring. It protects appliances, HVAC circuits, entertainment systems, and any other electronics connected to the home. The installation is a single visit and does not require rewiring the house.
Panel upgraded. Circuits balanced. Home powered safely.
When the power goes out, the gap a dead EV charger leaves in a daily routine becomes obvious fast. Level 2 EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit run from the panel to the garage or parking area. We scope the circuit, confirm the panel has capacity, and wire the outlet or hardwired connection the charger needs.
Commercial electrical work covers a broad range. Office and retail wiring, commercial panel upgrades, new construction rough-in, and permit work are all part of what we handle for business customers in Carrollton and the surrounding area. Remodels and additions require electrical work at every stage: kitchen and bathroom remodel wiring, home addition circuits, and specialty hookups including hot tub electrical connections and pool wiring all need circuits and connections sized for the load.
We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and commercial jobs get the same attention to detail as residential ones.
We'll find the fault and fix it right.
This area has every kind of panel and circuit in it, and an inspection puts a clear picture on the table before a problem develops. When the power goes out or a fault shows up unexpectedly, it is often wiring or panel conditions that an inspection would have caught.
A safety inspection covers the panel condition and age, the type and condition of branch circuit wiring, grounding and bonding throughout the system, GFCI and AFCI coverage in required locations, and smoke detector wiring. For a home purchase, an inspection before closing gives the buyer a real picture of what the electrical system can handle and what it will need. After storm damage, an inspection confirms the system is safe to use. For older homes, it identifies whether wiring has reached the point where rewiring is the right call.
When you call, you get a rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. We go through what the job involves, what it covers, and what it costs. Panel upgrades, rewiring, EV charger installation, ceiling fan wiring, adding an outlet - every one of those can be scoped on the call so there is nothing left unclear before a visit is booked.
We are available any hour, any day, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Electrical problems do not follow a business-hours schedule, and neither do we. Whether it is a planned project or a fault that showed up at 11 p.m., call and we will go through the details and get something on the schedule.
Carrollton is our primary service area, and we work across Denton County and into the surrounding North Dallas metro. Nearby communities we serve include The Colony, Lewisville, Flower Mound, Farmers Branch, Addison, and Coppell. The mix of residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and newer development across this part of Texas means the work varies from older-home rewiring to new construction circuits to commercial fit-outs.
Whatever the job type or location, the process is the same: a call to scope it, a price confirmed before anything starts, and the work done right.
We cover the full range of residential and commercial electrical work, including breaker panel repairs and upgrades, outlet and switch installation, indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, whole-home rewiring, dedicated circuits, EV charger installation, backup generator hookups, whole-home surge protection, and electrical safety inspections. If the job involves the wiring, the panel, or the circuits on a Carrollton property, we handle it.
Call (945) 446-2995 and we will go through the details on the call.

We go through what the work involves, what it covers, and what the rate is before anything is scheduled. You get the price before you commit to anything.
We are available around the clock, every day of the week, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Electrical faults do not follow a business-hours schedule, and neither do we. Call any time and we will get it on the schedule.
Partial power loss, where some rooms or circuits go dark while others stay on, often points to a problem at the service entrance or a failed leg at the panel. Do not ignore it or assume it will reset on its own.
Call (945) 446-2995 so we can diagnose the fault and explain what it takes to correct it.
Short-notice work is handled across Carrollton and the surrounding area. When you call, we confirm what the schedule allows and get something booked. Emergency calls are answered at any hour, any day.
Someone should be present to provide access to the panel and the work areas. If that is not possible, call us and we will go through what access is needed so you can make arrangements before the visit. We confirm the details before anyone shows up.
It helps to clear any storage or furniture that blocks access to the panel and to the outlets or fixtures involved in the job. The more accessible the work area, the faster the visit goes. If you are unsure what to clear, ask when you call and we will walk you through it.
It depends on the scope. A single outlet replacement or a ceiling fan installation is usually a short visit. A panel upgrade or a whole-home rewiring project takes longer, and the timeline is discussed on the call when the job is scoped. We explain what the visit covers and how long it is likely to run before anything is scheduled.
Deposit requirements depend on the scope and cost of the job. For larger projects, we discuss payment terms on the call when the job is scoped and priced. Nothing is left unclear before the work is scheduled.
We are available at any hour, any day, which gives us flexibility to schedule around work, school, or other commitments. When you call, we go through what the schedule allows and find a time that works. Short-notice and after-hours calls are welcomed.
If the scope changes once the work is underway, that conversation happens on-site before any additional work proceeds. We explain what we found and what it takes to correct it before moving forward. You are not left guessing about what is happening or what it will cost.
Carrollton Electrical Company is available around the clock for electrical work of every kind, from a single dead outlet to a full panel upgrade or commercial wiring project. Call now. Get it scoped. Get it wired to code.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle most often in Carrollton and the surrounding area. Each row covers what the service includes, who it fits best, and one practical thing worth knowing before you call. Read through, find what applies to your situation, and call us for a price and a timeline before anything is scheduled.
| Service Type | Scope of Work | Common Situations | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades |
| Homes with older 100-amp panels, repeated tripping, or plans to add an EV charger or major appliance | North Texas cooling loads run hard through long summers, and older panels sized for a different era often show the strain before anything else fails. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Residential and commercial spaces adding or upgrading interior or exterior lighting | Outdoor fixtures need weatherproof installation and a properly protected circuit, not just a standard indoor setup. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| Owners of Carrollton homes built in the 1960s and 1970s with original or patched wiring | Aluminum wiring expands and contracts under heat more than copper does, which loosens connections over time at outlets and fixtures. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Homeowners adding ceiling fans to rooms that currently have only a light fixture | A standard light-fixture box is not rated to support a ceiling fan. We confirm the right box is in place before the fan goes up. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| Any homeowner or property manager with an active electrical fault | A burning smell or sparking at an outlet warrants a call right away, not a wait-and-see approach. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Homes where a circuit repeatedly loses power or a breaker won't hold | A breaker that trips again immediately after reset usually means the fault is still present on the circuit, not in the breaker itself. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| Any household with sensitive electronics, a home EV charger, or exposure to North Texas storm activity | A power strip only protects what is plugged into it. A panel-level device absorbs a voltage spike before it reaches any circuit in the house. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Homeowners adding devices, upgrading kitchens or baths, or replacing worn hardware | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, and we confirm coverage during any outlet job. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Homeowners adding a major appliance or anyone whose breaker trips when a large appliance runs | Sharing a circuit between a high-draw appliance and other devices is a common cause of nuisance tripping and a wiring hazard over time. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Homeowners who have lost power during Carrollton-area storms and want critical circuits protected | The transfer switch is the part that makes a generator hookup safe. It prevents backfeed onto utility lines and must be installed correctly. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels |
| Homeowners finishing a basement, adding a room, or reconfiguring a commercial space | Remodel wiring often requires a permit and inspection. We handle that process as part of the scope rather than leaving it to the homeowner. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| Homeowners with a new EV and any commercial property adding charging stations for tenants or customers | We check panel capacity before running the circuit. A panel near its limit means the panel conversation happens before the charger goes in. |
