Electrician in
Dallas, TX
We do not pretend to cover every corner of a city this size. The work we actually do in Dallas sits on one corridor — the Park Cities and north Dallas — and that is where four of our ground-up builds are.
One Corridor, Not A Whole City
Dallas is big enough that an electrician claiming the whole of it is telling you something about their marketing rather than their van. Our work here runs up the north side and into the Park Cities, which is where the houses we have taken from an empty plot to an energised home are.
Oncor
The regulated wires company across Dallas. Oncor owns the poles, the wires and the meter; your retailer is a separate company on the bill. Anything touching the incoming service is arranged with Oncor, and on a large service that lead time is part of the programme.
One piece of local geography is worth knowing: University Park and Highland Park are independent municipalities surrounded by the City of Dallas. A house a street apart can sit under a different authority, which changes the paperwork even though the utility does not.
Working In Dallas
Large Older Homes And Ground-Up Builds
The corridor we work is a mix of substantial older houses and new builds going up on their plots. Both ends need the service designed around what the finished house will actually draw rather than what the street was originally given — frequently 400A on a house of real size.
Where the city requires paperwork we handle it under our own licence and you keep the record. On a house that is being rebuilt or substantially extended, that record follows the property.
- Local authority
- City of Dallas (Park Cities have their own)

What We Are Called Out For In Dallas
On this corridor the jobs tend to be bigger than a single call-out — whole-house work, a rebuild, or a new build taken from the temporary pole to the final fixture.
New Construction
Temporary power, grounding before the pour, full rough-in and trim-out. Our ground-up builds in Highland Park and University Park ran exactly that way, between 6,000 and 9,000 square feet, two of them around 400A services.
Electrical Panels
Service and distribution sized for the finished house, up to 400A residential. On a large property that has to be designed in at the start rather than retrofitted once the walls are up.
Home Lighting
Lighting designed with the build rather than added to it, including the custom pieces a house of this kind is usually designed around.
Fault Finding
Tripping breakers and dead circuits traced to a cause. In a large older house that tracing is most of the job and guessing is expensive.

Dallas Questions
Do you cover the whole of Dallas?
Honestly, no. We work the north side and the Park Cities corridor, which is where our jobs already are. If you are the other side of the city we will say so rather than take the booking and let you down on the day. Call and ask — it is a thirty-second answer.
Are University Park and Highland Park the same as Dallas for this?
For the utility, yes — Oncor either way. For the authority, no. Both are independent municipalities surrounded by the City of Dallas, so the paperwork side runs through them rather than through Dallas. We have pages for both.
Can you take a new build from the start?
Yes, and it is a lot of what we do on this corridor. Temporary supply from the pole, grounding in the foundation before the pour, the house wired out in full at rough-in, then panels, outlets, switches, lighting and fixtures at trim-out.
Is there anything I need to arrange?
Only one thing: if the power needs disconnecting for the work, Oncor will only take that request from the account holder. Everything else is ours — where the city requires paperwork we handle it as part of the job, and you keep the record.
How do you quote a job this size?
From the drawings and a conversation about the scope. Most quotes do not need a visit at all — send plans, a specification or photographs and a description. The price is itemised, in writing, free, and it does not move once you have accepted it, as long as the scope does not change.
