Panel Upgrades & Service Changes
Upgrading undersized services to 200A for older Midlothian homes, and correcting panels that were adequate for a 1980s farmhouse and are not for what is in it now.
Standby Generators
Cummins standby units with automatic transfer switches — a common request in the more rural parts of Ellis County where outages run longer.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Service-entrance surge devices, UL 1449-listed. Worth doing before storm season rather than after it.

Level 2 charger circuits for Midlothian's newer subdivisions, sized against the existing panel rather than assumed.

Electrical Work in Midlothian
Midlothian took its name in 1883 when the railroad arrived, and stayed a small town for most of a century. Texas Industries built the first cement plant here in 1959 and had three kilns running by 1967 to supply the construction of DFW Airport; two more cement plants and a steel manufacturer followed. Then from the mid-1970s, families from Dallas and Fort Worth began building on farmland outside town, and the real growth came later still — the population was 5,141 in 1990 and 7,480 by 2000, and it has climbed steeply since. The practical result is a city where the housing ranges from pre-war homes near the historic downtown to subdivisions finished in the last few years. Clements Electric covers all of it from Grand Prairie.
Midlothian Homes by Era
What we find behind the panel cover depends a great deal on when the house was built.
Railroad Town (1880s–1940s)
The oldest homes near the historic downtown. Services here are usually far below modern requirements, grounding is often absent, and earlier retrofits are frequently mixed in with original work.
Industrial Era & Farmland Builds (1959–1980s)
The cement and steel years, and the mid-1970s move out from Dallas and Fort Worth onto surrounding farmland. This period overlaps the years Federal Pacific panels were commonly installed, which is worth ruling out.
Suburban Growth (2000s–today)
Midlothian's population has climbed steeply since 2000. Newer homes generally start at 200A, and the work is usually generators, EV charging and surge protection rather than remediation.

What Panel Work Costs in Midlothian
A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement in Midlothian 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 Midlothian 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 HILCO Electric Cooperative. How panel upgrades work
Permits & Power in Midlothian
Who issues the permit
Electrical permits for work in Midlothian 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 Midlothian addresses are served by HILCO Electric Cooperative. Part of the city is served by Oncor Electric Delivery instead — utility territory does not follow city limits.
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 Midlothian
If your Midlothian 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, and more than one serves Midlothian: HILCO Electric Cooperative or Oncor Electric Delivery. Check the name on your electric bill, because utility territory does not follow city limits.
HILCO Electric Cooperative (electric cooperative)
- Disconnect: HILCO requires a visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect between its meter and member equipment, mounted separately from the metering and lockable with a HILCO padlock, and says molded-case breakers are not acceptable. Its one-line guide gives 10 feet from the meter while its manual's line-side figures give 8 circuit feet, so we confirm which applies.
- Meter socket: HILCO does not allow double lugging or multiple conductors under one lug inside the meter base.
- Supply-side tap: HILCO publishes a line-side option: a connection ahead of the service equipment must be made after the HILCO revenue meter, in a fusible, lockable AC disconnect, and pre-approved by HILCO.
- Solar approval: HILCO must approve the solar application before installation, with a $250 fee under 50 kW. Inverters must be tested to UL 1741 and IEEE 1547, and HILCO gives permission to operate after a site inspection.
- Not published by HILCO Electric Cooperative: standby generator and transfer switch rules; whether meter collars are allowed. We confirm these with the utility in writing before the job rather than assume another utility’s rule applies.

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.
