Electrical Repair Services in North Texas
Wiring problems are not always visible. A burnt smell with no visible source, a warm outlet, lights that flicker in one part of the house — these are often the first hints of a wiring issue that has been developing inside your walls for months or years.
C&G Electric uses systematic diagnostics to find the actual source of wiring problems rather than replacing parts blindly. Once we identify the issue, we repair it properly — using code-compliant materials, correct wire gauges, and proper connections.

Wiring Hazards We Repair in North Texas Homes and Businesses
Aluminum Wiring
Homes built in the 1960s and 70s often used aluminum wiring to save cost. Over time, aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper, causing connections to loosen — a leading cause of electrical fires. We perform CO/ALR remediation to make aluminum-wired homes safe without requiring full rewiring.
Burned or Overheated Wires
Visible burn marks on outlets, breaker panels, or junction boxes are urgent warning signs. Overheated wiring can smolder inside walls long before a fire breaks out. We locate and replace all damaged conductors and identify the root cause to prevent recurrence.
Knob-and-Tube Wiring
Knob-and-tube wiring found in older North Texas homes lacks a ground wire, cannot be extended safely, and was never designed for modern electrical loads. We evaluate the extent of the wiring, identify any hazardous conditions, and provide replacement options that fit your budget.
Previous Poor Workmanship
DIY electrical work and low-quality contractors leave behind code violations that create real hazards — improper splices in walls, missing junction box covers, overloaded circuits, and undersized wire gauges. We locate and correct violations and document the work for permit records.
Rodent Damage
Rodents chew through wire insulation, exposing conductors inside attics, crawlspaces, and walls. This creates shock and fire hazards that often go unnoticed until something fails. We inspect and repair rodent-damaged wiring and can recommend entry-point solutions to your pest control provider.
Loose or Arcing Connections
Loose connections cause arcing — brief electrical sparks that can ignite nearby materials. AFCI breakers are designed to detect arcing, but they only protect you if the underlying connection is eventually fixed. We track down and tighten or replace loose connections throughout your system.
Wiring Repair FAQs
- How do I know if my wiring needs repair?
- Common warning signs include outlets that are warm to the touch, a burning smell with no visible source, lights that flicker without an obvious cause, breakers that trip repeatedly, and discoloration or scorch marks around outlets or the panel. If you notice any of these, call us promptly — wiring problems do not fix themselves.
- Do you repair wiring in older North Texas homes?
- Yes. We frequently work in older homes throughout Krum, Denton, Argyle, and surrounding communities. Whether the house has aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or outdated cloth insulation, we have experience assessing and repairing it correctly.
- Will you need to open my walls to repair wiring?
- It depends on the nature of the repair. Some repairs — like junction box work or outlet replacements — require minimal or no wall opening. Rewiring runs may require some drywall access. We always explain what is needed and work cleanly, leaving the job site in the best condition possible.
- Can wiring repairs fix my insurance issues?
- Many homeowner's insurance companies require the removal of aluminum wiring, Federal Pacific panels, or other known hazards before they will write or renew a policy. We provide written documentation of work completed that you can submit to your insurer.
