Picked

Carroll Service Co (Keller, serves Fort Worth/Tarrant County)

carrollservicecotx.com
“Its own published EV install price is $1,000-$2,000 including the charger, permit and labor (its blogs also give $800-$2,500 for electrical work and $1,400-$2,800 turnkey, plus $2,500-$4,500 for a 200A panel upgrade); it offers a free assessment with a load calculation; TECL 25420 is active in TDLR open data; BBB lists it as A+ accredited with 0 complaints; and it advertises same-day service and 24/7 hours.”
Shortlisted #2

Mr. Electric of West Fort Worth (Red-K LLC, Burleson)

https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/burleson/profile/electrical-contractors/mr-electric-of-west-fort-worth-0825-235970098
“This is the most established pick (BBB A+ accredited since 2015, 1 answered complaint in 3 years, 576 reviews shown on its Fort Worth EV page); Red-K LLC's TECL 30289 is active in TDLR data; it advertises 24/7 service, same-day completion for most jobs, and a panel-capacity check with permits; but it publishes no EV or panel prices, only coupons such as $100 off a new panel.”
Shortlisted #3

Prodigal Electric / Prodigal Power Solutions (Midlothian/Burleson, serves Fort Worth)

prodigalpowersolutions.com
“It has the clearest published prices of any candidate: install-only from $747 and install plus smart charger from $1,497, with the permit and a dedicated 240V circuit included; TECL 41306 is active in TDLR data; and it advertises next-day installs in most cases; however, I found no BBB profile, and it prices panel upgrades separately (it requires at least a 150A panel).”
Looked at, passed

Destined Energy (Denton)

destinednrg.com
“It is Tesla Certified, TECL 38062 is active, it publishes $1,400-$2,800 turnkey and a free NEC 220 load calc, but it is Denton-based (far from Fort Worth), open Mon-Fri 9-5, and quotes a 7-10 day timeline from contract to charging.”
Looked at, passed

Spillers Electric (Burleson)

spillerselectric.com
“It has the best published Fort Worth price table ($650-$3,800 by scenario, permit included, panel upgrade +$2,400-$3,400), but TDLR open data (updated 2026-09-19) shows its Electrical Contractor license 32383 expired 05/08/2026, so I left it out until the license is confirmed renewed.”
Looked at, passed

S&M Electric (Willow Park/Springtown)

smelectricusa.com
“TECL 40674 is active, it does an on-site load calc and publishes a typical $800-$2,500 range, but it is a small one-man-led shop west of Fort Worth with no BBB profile found (per search snippet), no phone quotes, and no stated availability beyond business hours.”
Looked at, passed

Mr. Electric of Fort Worth (mrelectricfortworth.com, Burleson/Fort Worth Malvey Ave)

mrelectricfortworth.com
“It claims to be a Tesla-certified installer, has 4.9 stars from 69 reviews, and offers 24/7 service, but it publishes no prices or license number, and I could not confirm whether it is the same franchisee as Mr. Electric of West Fort Worth (its phone number is close to one listed on that BBB profile), so I folded it into pick 2 rather than listing it separately.”
Looked at, passed

Clements Electric (Alvarado/Grand Prairie)

clementselectric.com
“TECL 20443 is active in TDLR data, but I only saw its $800-$2,500 range and Mon-Fri 7-7 callback hours in a search snippet (page not opened), and it has no stated EV credential or BBB info.”
Looked at, passed

Epic Electrical

epicelectrical.com
“I only saw it through search snippets of price guides (Tesla Wall Connector $750-$6,000+, panel $5,800-$7,500); the TDLR record I found for Epic Electrical Contractors (Granbury, 30836) shows an expired date of 04/22/2026, and I could not confirm it is the same company.”
Looked at, passed

Quatro Lighting (Fort Worth)

quatrolighting.com
“It claims to be a certified Tesla installer (snippet only, page not opened), but it publishes no prices, and TDLR data shows TECL 34581 with an expiration of 09/19/2026, which is already past or pending renewal.”
Looked at, passed

Charge Home Solutions

chargehomesolutions.com
“It appears to be a national referral network (addresses in FL, NY and CA, a 1-888 number), not a local contractor; it shows no TECL or prices, and its page wrongly lists Austin Energy rebates for Fort Worth.”
Looked at, passed

Dodson Electric (North Fort Worth)

dodsonelectric.com
“Its EV page returned 404, so the Master Electrician owner, veteran-owned status and often-same-day appointments came only from a search snippet; TDLR shows Dodson Electric & Construction LLC TECL 31266 active, but it publishes no prices.”
Looked at, passed

TLC Electrical (DFW)

tlcelectrical.com
“I used it only as a search-snippet source for DFW panel-upgrade ranges and did not evaluate it as an installer.”

How we ran this

We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer.

Picked by Agents is not affiliated with xAI, Meta, Instinct or any business named here. Recommended means the assistant recommended it. Nothing was booked.
