Electrical Services in Irving

Aluminum Branch Wiring Remediation

Aluminum branch circuits are common in Irving's 1965–1973 housing and apartment stock. Aluminum expands, contracts and oxidizes differently than copper, so the trouble shows up at outlets, switches and splices rather than mid-run. We inspect, then remediate at the terminations with approved connectors — a targeted fix, not an automatic whole-house rewire quote.

Multifamily & Property Management Electrical

Irving has a large apartment inventory built in the same aluminum-era window. We work with owners and property managers on unit-by-unit remediation, main distribution and unit panel upgrades where the equipment is undersized and running hot, turn work and common-area systems — scheduled around occupancy rather than against it.

Panel Upgrades & Service Changes

100A and 125A services upgraded to 200A for Irving homes carrying loads they were never designed for. Permit pulled, utility coordinated, inspection scheduled.

EV Charger Installation

Level 2 charger circuits for Las Colinas and Valley Ranch homes, with a load calculation first — and particular care where aluminum branch wiring is present.

Outlets, GFCIs & Device Replacement

Device replacement on aluminum circuits is not the same job as on copper and should not be priced or performed as though it is. We use connectors rated for the conductor actually in the box.

Commercial Electrical

Tenant finish-out, panel work and maintenance for Irving businesses, including the Las Colinas office corridor.

Electrical Work in Irving

Irving grew up around the airport. The 1960s expansion that came with Dallas/Fort Worth International, then Las Colinas from 1973 on the Carpenter family's old Hackberry Creek Ranch, then Valley Ranch building out through the 1980s — that is a city whose housing and apartment stock was largely put up between the mid-1960s and the early 1980s. It also happens to be the window when aluminum branch-circuit wiring was in general use, roughly 1965 to 1973, and aluminum is what we find in Irving more than in most cities we work. It is not a reason to panic and it is rarely a reason to rewire a whole building. It is a reason to have it looked at by someone who has seen a lot of it, because the failures happen at the connections and the fix is at the connections.

Irving Homes by Era

What we find behind the panel cover depends a great deal on when the house was built.

Airport Boom (1960s–early 1970s)

The growth that came with Dallas/Fort Worth International. This is the aluminum branch wiring window, and it is the single most useful thing to establish about an Irving house of this age before any other work is quoted.

Las Colinas & Valley Ranch (1973–1990s)

Las Colinas broke ground in 1973 and Valley Ranch built out through the 1980s. Later construction in this range is generally copper, with 100A to 150A services that modern loads have caught up with.

Modern & Infill (2000s–today)

Newer construction and redevelopment, typically 200A from the start. Work here is usually EV charging, generator transfer switches and surge protection.

What Panel Work Costs in Irving

A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement in Irving 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.

Permits & Power in Irving

Who issues the permit

Electrical permits for work in Irving 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 Irving 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 Irving

If your Irving 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.
