Some electrical problems need an electrician today. A breaker that will not reset, an outlet that is warm to the touch, a panel that smells like something is burning: those calls move to the front of the line. Others are easier to plan around: adding a circuit for a new appliance, upgrading a panel before a renovation starts, putting in outdoor lighting. Wesson Electrical Services handles both, and the process for getting either one scheduled starts with a single phone call.
Farmers Branch is a city with a real mix of properties. Older homes with original wiring that was never built for today's electrical loads sit alongside commercial spaces, rental units, and properties that have changed hands several times. The electrical needs that come out of that mix are not all the same, and we do not treat them that way. Call for a quote, describe what you are dealing with, and we will tell you what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
We take calls every day from 6:00 AM to 10:30 PM, and same-day appointments are often available. For problems that cannot wait, calling early in the day gives you the best chance of getting someone out the same afternoon. For planned work, we book around whatever schedule works for you, including weekends, so you are not forced to take time away from work to get electrical work handled.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible, and that applies to commercial customers and tenants as much as it does to homeowners. If a business needs electrical work done outside operating hours to avoid disruption, that is a conversation worth having on the call. We confirm the appointment window when you book and tell you who is coming before anyone arrives.
We answer the phone. We dispatch the electrician. We keep it simple.
Renovations and additions in Farmers Branch often involve several trades working in sequence, and the order matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong. Electrical rough-in has to happen before drywall goes up. Panel capacity needs to be confirmed before a kitchen remodel adds three new circuits. If the electrician is not on site at the right point in the sequence, the work either stalls or gets done twice.
We coordinate with contractors, property managers, and homeowners to make sure the electrical side of a project lands in the right place on the timeline. That means being clear on the phone about what stage the project is at and what we need access to when we arrive. It also means not showing up to do finish work when the rough-in has not been inspected yet.
For fit-outs and tenant improvements, the same logic applies. A new retail space or office suite needs circuits placed before the walls close and fixtures mounted after. Getting the sequence right is part of the job, not an afterthought.
Replacing a standard switch with a dimmer or a smart switch is a straightforward job on its own and a meaningful upgrade in practice. Smart switches need a neutral wire, and older wiring in Farmers Branch homes sometimes does not have one at the switch location. We assess the wiring before recommending a switch type, so you are not left with a device that will not work in the box it is going into.
A generator without a proper transfer switch is a safety problem. The transfer switch isolates your home from the utility grid during an outage so the generator can power your circuits without back-feeding the line. We install transfer switches and wire the connection to the circuits that matter most, whether that is the whole panel or a selected set of loads. Severe weather in this region is not a hypothetical, and backup power is a practical decision for properties that cannot afford a long outage.
High-draw appliances need dedicated circuits sized for the load. Running a range or dryer on a shared circuit is one of the more reliable ways to end up with a tripping breaker and an appliance that does not perform the way it should. We run 240-volt dedicated circuits for ranges, wall ovens, dryers, and other large appliances, and we confirm panel capacity before the circuit goes in.
Low-voltage work covers more ground than it used to. Video doorbells, structured wiring for data, and pre-wire for speakers and security systems all fall in this category. We handle the rough-in at the right stage of a renovation so the finish work can go in cleanly, and we install the devices themselves when the project is ready for them.
Properties in the area that run well pumps or irrigation systems need dedicated circuits with the right protection in place. A well pump circuit needs proper grounding and bonding, and the load has to be sized correctly to avoid nuisance tripping. We assess the existing wiring and panel capacity before running a new circuit, and we install GFCI and AFCI protection where current code requires it.
A panel that cannot keep up with the load, a breaker that fails to trip when it should, or a fuse box that has never been updated: all of these are reasons to replace the panel rather than work around it. We handle full panel replacements, individual breaker swaps, and service-entrance upgrades. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects is what every panel job gets, including grounding, bonding, and load calculations that reflect what the home actually draws.
A fault that shows up as a flickering light or a dead outlet is not always where it looks like it is. The problem may be at the device, at the connection, at the breaker, or somewhere along the circuit between them. We trace the fault rather than replacing parts at random, which means the repair addresses the actual cause. Code-compliant wiring and proper grounding and bonding are part of every repair, not extras that get added later.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that uncertainty is worth resolving before you add an EV charger, a new appliance, or a home office circuit. Many homes in Farmers Branch are running on service that was sized for a different era. A 200-amp service upgrade gives the system the capacity it needs. We handle load calculations, full panel replacements, subpanel installation, and service-entrance and meter upgrades. The full breakdown of what each type of panel work involves is on the service page.
Installation covers a wide range: outlets and switches, lighting and ceiling fans, dedicated circuits, EV chargers, surge protection, and specialty wiring for appliances and outbuildings. What these jobs have in common is that the scope is known before the work starts. You call, describe what you need, get a price, and book the visit. Work in this area gets done to the code inspectors here actually enforce, which means the installation is right the first time rather than flagged at the next inspection.
Electrical work is quoted based on what the job actually involves, and the only honest price is one that comes after you have described the work. When you call, we go through the job with you and give you a rate on the phone. The price is confirmed before we schedule the visit, so you know what you are agreeing to before anyone comes out.
What changes a quote is scope. A job that looks like a single outlet replacement sometimes turns out to involve a wiring problem further back on the circuit. If that happens, we explain what we found and what it would take to address it before any additional work begins. Nothing gets added without your agreement first. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs.
There is no call-out fee to name here and no hourly rate to quote. Those figures are on the service page, and restating them on a location page is how a site ends up contradicting itself. Call for a quote and you get the rate that applies to your job.
There is more on our wiring guide.
We cover Farmers Branch and the surrounding Dallas County communities, including Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Irving, and University Park. If you are in any of these areas and need electrical work handled, the process is the same: call for a quote, get a price on the phone, and schedule when it works for you.
Dallas County covers a lot of ground, and we work across it. Whether the property is in Farmers Branch or one of the neighboring cities, a licensed electrician handles the work and the job is done to current code.
We tidy the work area before leaving. Debris from drilling, wire clippings, and packaging from materials are cleaned up as part of finishing the job. If the work involved opening walls or ceilings, the structural close-up is done before we leave, though finish work like painting is left for you or your contractor.
Most indoor electrical work is contained to the area where the job is happening. Outlet and switch replacements, circuit additions, and panel work do not require opening large sections of the house. Rewiring and work that involves running cable through walls creates more disruption, and we tell you what to expect before the job begins.
Permit requirements depend on the type of work and where it is being done. Panel replacements, new circuits, and service upgrades typically require a permit and inspection. When you call, we go over what the job involves and confirm what permitting applies before anything is scheduled. We handle that process as part of the job so you are not left to figure it out on your own.
A burning smell at an outlet is treated as urgent. It usually points to a loose connection, arcing, or heat damage inside the outlet or the wiring behind it, all of which carry a fire risk. Call (945) 429-1659 right away and describe what you are experiencing so we can assess how quickly someone needs to get out.
Yes. When you call to schedule, let us know who the paperwork should go to and how they prefer to receive it. We confirm the details before the visit so the right person has the documentation they need without having to chase it down afterward.
After any repair or remedial work, the affected circuit is tested to confirm it is operating correctly. For larger jobs, the panel and related circuits are checked as part of the closeout. We do not hand a job back until we have confirmed the work is functioning as it should.
Yes. When chasing a wall or fishing cable through it would cause too much disruption, surface-mounted conduit is a practical alternative. It keeps the wiring protected and code-compliant without requiring the wall to be opened. We discuss the routing options with you before deciding on the approach.
Yes. When the property has a tenant in place, we work with the scheduling details you provide and confirm the appointment window so the tenant knows when to expect the electrician. We coordinate through you or the property manager rather than working directly around the tenant's schedule without your involvement.
Yes. We handle electrical work across residential and commercial properties throughout Farmers Branch, including rental units, small offices, and retail spaces. The call works the same way regardless of property type: describe the job, get a price on the phone, and book the visit at a time that works for the property and anyone who needs to be there.

| Wiring for Additions & Remodels | kitchen and bathroom circuit workaddition wiringcontractor coordinationcode compliance documentation | Homeowners mid-renovation who need electrical roughed in before walls close | Remodel work often uncovers older wiring that needs to be brought up to current standards before the inspection. We handle both the new work and the corrections. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | dedicated sump-pump circuitbasement outlet installationGFCI protection in wet areas | Homeowners finishing a basement or ensuring a sump pump has its own reliable circuit | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at the worst moment. A dedicated circuit with GFCI protection is the right setup. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | standard and GFCI outlet replacementAFCI outletsdimmer and smart switches240-volt outlets | Homeowners adding outlets, updating older receptacles, or upgrading to GFCI protection in kitchens and baths | GFCI outlets can be installed on ungrounded circuits and still provide shock protection where a ground wire is not present. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | tripped or worn breaker replacementfuse box evaluationpanel breaker testing | Homeowners whose breakers trip repeatedly or whose fuse box has never been updated | A breaker that trips under normal load is signaling a problem, not just doing its job. It is worth diagnosing rather than resetting. |
| Electrical Panel Upgrades | 200-amp service upgradesfull panel replacementsubpanel installationload calculations | Homes with outdated or undersized panels, or any property adding an EV charger, major appliance, or generator | Many Dallas County homes are still running panels sized for loads from a different era. A panel assessment is the right starting point if breakers trip often or capacity feels tight. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | fan mounting and wiringswitch and remote setupnew ceiling box installation | Homeowners replacing an existing fan or adding one where no fixture exists | If there is no existing ceiling box rated for a fan, we install one before mounting. Skipping that step is a safety issue. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new circuit runscircuit extensionsdedicated appliance circuitsoutdoor and weatherproof wiring | Homes or businesses that need power in a new location or additional circuits for added load | Adding circuits without checking panel capacity first can create an overload situation. We assess capacity before running any new wire. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | panel-level surge device installationprotection for appliances and electronicspost-storm follow-up installation | Any North Texas home exposed to thunderstorm surge risk, especially after a panel upgrade or a prior surge event | A whole-home surge protector at the panel covers every circuit at once. A power strip only protects what is plugged into it. |
| Older-Home Rewiring | knob-and-tube removalaluminum branch-circuit remediationpartial or whole-home rewire | Owners of older Dallas County homes with wiring that was never designed for modern electrical loads | Aluminum branch-circuit wiring and knob-and-tube are not just outdated. They carry real safety and insurance implications. We explain the options before any work begins. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | fault diagnosiscircuit testingburned or loose connectionsrestoring lost power | Any home or business with flickering lights, dead outlets, or unexplained power loss | A burning smell or sparking outlet is a safety issue. Call the same day rather than waiting. |
| Lighting Installation | recessed and LED lightingsecurity and motion sensor lightslandscape lightingexterior fixture installation | Homeowners upgrading indoor lighting or adding outdoor security and accent lighting | Outdoor fixtures installed in North Texas need to be rated for heat and moisture exposure. That is a code requirement, not just a recommendation. |
| Backup Generator Installation | transfer switch installationstandby generator wiringcircuit hookup for critical loads | Farmers Branch homeowners who have experienced extended outages during storm season and want reliable backup power | The transfer switch is the critical piece. It isolates your home from the utility grid so the generator can run safely without back-feeding the line. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuitsrefrigerator and dishwasher circuitsworkshop and garage circuits | Homeowners adding high-draw appliances or experiencing repeated tripping on shared circuits | Most major appliances require their own dedicated circuit by code. Sharing a circuit with other loads shortens equipment life and trips breakers. |
