Electrical Services in Arlington
Federal Pacific Panel Replacement
Federal Pacific is far and away the panel brand we replace most in Arlington, and the reason is the calendar: the city's 1960s-1980s housing boom overlaps almost exactly with the years Stab-Lok panels were being installed. The hazard is that the breaker may not trip on a fault. If the label in your garage reads Federal Pacific or Stab-Lok, replacement is the fix — permit, utility coordination and inspection included.
Aluminum Branch Wiring Repair
Homes wired between roughly 1965 and 1973 can have aluminum branch circuits. We inspect, and remediate at the connections with approved methods rather than telling you the whole house needs rewiring.
Service & Panel Upgrades
60A and 100A services upgraded to 200A for Arlington homes running modern AC, EV charging and home offices. Oncor releases the meter here; we schedule that call.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 chargers for newer North Arlington builds and for older homes where the panel needs a load calculation first. Tesla Wall Connector and J1772.
Outlets, GFCIs & Grounding
Ungrounded two-prong receptacles are common in Arlington's older stock. We correct grounding properly rather than swapping in three-prong outlets that only look safer.
Commercial Electrical
Tenant finish-out, panel upgrades and maintenance for businesses along Division, Cooper and the Entertainment District.

Electrical Work in Arlington
Arlington is one of the few DFW cities where a single street can hold three completely different electrical eras. Mayor Tom Vandergriff's decentralized development model through the 1950s and 1960s built out self-contained neighborhoods surrounded by housing, and the city kept expanding hard through the 1970s and 1980s. That means a very large share of Arlington's housing stock was built precisely during the decades when Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels were being installed by the thousand and aluminum branch-circuit wiring was briefly standard. Newer master-planned areas like Viridian sit at the other end of the range entirely, with 200A service and homeowners adding EV chargers. We have been working in Arlington since 1982 and quote all of it the same way: written flat-rate, permit pulled, inspection scheduled.
Arlington Homes by Era
What we find behind the panel cover depends a great deal on when the house was built.
Vandergriff Expansion (1950s–1960s)
The neighborhoods built under Arlington's decentralized development model are now sixty to seventy years old. Expect 60A to 100A services, ungrounded two-prong receptacles, and original cloth-insulated branch wiring still in service.
The Boom Decades (1960s–1980s)
The largest share of Arlington's housing, and the reason Federal Pacific is the panel we replace most here — these are the years Stab-Lok was installed by the thousand. Worth identifying before it causes trouble.
Master-Planned & New Build (2000s–today)
Areas like Viridian generally start with 200A service, so the work here is usually additive: EV charger circuits, generator transfer switches, surge protection and load calculations before adding to a panel that is already close to full.
Arlington Neighborhoods We Serve
Arlington sits directly next to our Grand Prairie shop, which makes it one of the fastest cities in our service area to reach on a same-day call.
What Panel Work Costs in Arlington
A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement in Arlington typically runs $2,200–$4,800 all in, including the panel, breakers, permit, inspection and labor. That is a typical range, not your price. Panel prices vary with material costs, the size of the panel and service, and how complex the job is.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Straightforward swap to a single 200-amp panel (from 100 amps), all in | $2,200–$4,800 |
| Meter base, service mast or grounding work | Included in the quote when the service entrance needs it |
| 400-amp service, or an added 200-amp panel feeding a separate building such as a shop | Quoted after an on-site load calculation |
Every Arlington job gets a written flat-rate quote, or a detailed itemized one if you prefer, before work starts, and we coordinate the meter disconnect and release with Oncor Electric Delivery. Panel upgrades in Arlington
Permits & Power in Arlington
Who issues the permit
Electrical permits for work in Arlington are issued by the city, and it is the city that inspects the finished work. Requirements, fees and inspection scheduling differ from one DFW city to the next.
Clements Electric pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of the job. Texas Electrical Contractor TECL #40628.
Who owns the wires
Most Arlington addresses are served by Oncor Electric Delivery.
This matters on a service or panel upgrade: the utility named on your electric bill is the one that has to disconnect and then release the meter before the new service can be energized. Worth checking your bill before scheduling, and we coordinate that call either way.
Solar Panels & a Standby Generator in Arlington
If your Arlington home has grid-tied solar, the solar has to connect on the utility side of the generator’s transfer switch, between the meter and the switch, so the generator can never feed the solar inverters. We explain why in adding a standby generator to a home with solar panels. How that connection is made depends on the utility that serves your address: Oncor Electric Delivery.
Oncor Electric Delivery (delivery utility)
- Disconnect: A visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect is required between the Oncor meter and every source of distributed generation, within 10 feet of the meter unless special placards are used. Oncor states that molded-case breakers are not an acceptable disconnect.
- Meter socket: The meter socket is reserved for Oncor metering. No meter collars or other devices may be installed in it or between the meter and the socket.
- Generator and transfer switch: The generator transfer switch must be installed on the load side of the meter base, never integrated with or in series with the meter. Oncor asks installers to confirm whether the transfer switch is open or closed transition.
- Solar approval: Solar needs an Oncor interconnection application, and Oncor treats a system as certified when it meets UL 1741 and the applicable parts of IEEE 1547.
