Not every electrician in Carrollton does panel upgrades — and of those who do, not all of them pull permits, perform load calculations, or coordinate with Oncor correctly.
This page lists electricians serving Carrollton, TX who perform electrical panel upgrades, along with TDLR license numbers so you can verify their credentials before calling. For help evaluating and comparing contractors, see the How to Choose guide.
Three things every legitimate Carrollton panel upgrade involves — ask about these before scheduling:
| What to Confirm | What It Means | Red Flag |
|---|---|---|
| City of Carrollton permit | All panel upgrades require a permit pulled before work starts | Contractor suggests skipping permit or calling it "optional" |
| Oncor service disconnect coordination | Oncor must disconnect power before panel replacement; must be scheduled 2–3 business days ahead | Contractor doesn't mention Oncor or can't explain the process |
| Load calculation performed | Contractor assesses existing electrical load before recommending amperage | Contractor recommends amperage without an in-person assessment |
Timeline to expect: Permit pull → Oncor scheduling → installation → inspection = typically 5–10 business days from signed contract to final inspection.
Panel upgrades in Carrollton, TX typically run $1,300–$3,000 for a standard 200A residential upgrade, all-in (panel hardware, labor, permit, Oncor coordination, and inspection). EV charger additions and subpanel work add $300–$800.
For a full breakdown by job type, home age, and scope, see the Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost Guide for Carrollton, TX.

Q: How do I verify an electrician's license in Texas? Use the TDLR license lookup at tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch. Search by name or license number. Confirm the Master Electrician license (not just journeyman) is active and not expired or suspended. Also verify the Electrical Contractor (EC) license for the company.
Q: How long does a panel upgrade take in Carrollton? The physical swap typically takes 4–8 hours for a standard 200-amp upgrade. Add time for permit issuance (1–3 business days) and CenterPoint disconnect/reconnect scheduling (usually same-day or next-day). Total project timeline from contract to restored power is typically 3–7 days. Homes with additional complications (service entrance replacement, subpanel work) may take 1–2 days of active labor.
Q: What should be included in a Carrollton panel upgrade contract? Must include: itemized scope (panel model, breaker count, meter base included/excluded, permit and inspection fees), payment schedule (typically 50% at start, 50% at completion), TDLR license number, CenterPoint coordination responsibility, warranty terms (minimum 1 year labor, manufacturer warranty on panel), and timeline with start date.
Q: Who handles the power shutoff and restore during a panel upgrade in Carrollton? CenterPoint Energy performs the meter pull (power disconnect) and reconnect. Your licensed electrician coordinates this directly with CenterPoint. As a homeowner, you do not need to contact CenterPoint separately. The reconnect is typically scheduled for the same day as the work, so your home should not be without power overnight in normal circumstances.
Q: Does my homeowner's insurance need to know about a panel upgrade in Carrollton? Yes — notify your insurer after completion. A permitted and inspected panel upgrade can reduce your insurance premium (some insurers discount homes with updated 200A panels). If you don't notify your insurer and a future claim involves the electrical system, coverage disputes can arise over whether the work was properly permitted.
