About Irving, TX
Irving is home to more than 257,000 residents, making it the 12th most populated city in Texas and one of the largest cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The city sits roughly 15 miles northwest of downtown Dallas and is bordered by Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, placing it at the center of one of the region’s busiest commercial and logistics corridors.
Irving’s housing stock is generally older than many surrounding DFW suburbs, with most homes built between the 1970s and 1990s, while the Las Colinas area offers newer condominium and townhome inventory built more recently as that district has continued to develop. This mix means electrical needs vary considerably by neighborhood, from panel and wiring evaluation in some of the city’s established residential sections to circuit capacity and EV charging support in newer Las Colinas construction.
