Local rules
Texas licenses electricians through TDLR, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and licenses can be checked online. Most work beyond swapping a fixture, such as new circuits, panel changes and service upgrades, needs a permit and inspection through the City of Irving Inspections department. A service upgrade also means coordinating with Oncor, which delivers power for the retail electric provider you choose.
Who runs what: the City of Irving Water Utilities for water, the city's sewer system, with treatment by the Trinity River Authority and Dallas for wastewater and the City of Irving Inspections department for permits. The Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture is in Williams Square. Texas Stadium stood in Irving until 2010.
Homes in Irving: what pros run into
The Toyota Music Factory is an entertainment venue in Las Colinas. Clay soil moves with wet and dry spells, stressing slabs and pipes.
The Elm Fork of the Trinity River runs along the east side. Many homes from this era were built with a small service and few outlets per room, which is why power strips tend to multiply. Valley Ranch was developed in the 1980s and 1990s.
Long cooling seasons push AC circuits hard, and that's when loose connections and aging panels show their limits. DFW International Airport borders the city on the west.

Questions from Irving residents
Why do my lights flicker?
A loose bulb or a dimmer mismatch is the easy answer. Flicker across several rooms, or when large appliances start, can mean a loose connection that needs attention.

Most likely. We cover Plymouth Park, Hackberry Creek, Heritage District and Irving Heights and other parts of Irving, across 75038, 75039, 75060, 75061, 75062 and others. If nobody's available, we'll tell you, and you can call back later or pick another day that works better.
Can I add outlets to an older room?
Usually. An electrician will check whether the circuit can handle more load or whether a new circuit is needed.
What makes Irving a little different for electrical work?
Spring storms can bring hail. Las Colinas is a large planned development with offices, homes and the Mandalay Canal. Older neighborhoods near the Heritage District date from the 1950s and 1960s. Share what you know about your home when you book.
