The outlets had flickered, then gone dead, and the breaker hadn’t tripped. One homeowner wrote in a Google review that Larry Green stayed on the phone on a Saturday night trying to troubleshoot the problem, at no charge. When Green came out, he found that an electrician working for the house’s previous owners had spliced wires together. Two junction boxes were charred, and the house had a fire risk nobody knew about. Green fixed it.
That kind of call is most of what All-In-One Electric does. Green founded the company in Richardson, Texas. “I opened the company in 1986,” he says. It takes residential and commercial work, but Green says it is “mainly service,” meaning the calls where something has stopped working and someone has to find out why. Asked what he wants to be known for, he keeps it short. “Taking care of a lot of really great customers,” he says.
He puts the company’s appeal plainly, too. “Family-owned, and local,” he says. “I think that’d be the big key in it.”
The family part is literal. His son, Logan, works alongside him, and both hold Texas master electrician licenses, the top credential in the trade. “He is also a master, and we’re probably the only company that only sends out master electricians,” Green says.
According to the company’s website, Logan grew up in the trades, earned a business management degree at Texas Tech University and got his master electrician license in 2024. The site says father and son have worked side by side for more than a decade, use no subcontractors or apprentices, and do every job themselves. It also says the Green family has called the area home for generations.
Green answers the phones himself. “I care, and I answer the phone myself,” he says. The website says every call gets answered by Larry or Logan, and the company lists itself as open around the clock for emergencies.
The work runs from small repairs to bigger rewiring. According to the website, the Greens replace aging electrical panels, including Zinsco and Federal Pacific models the site calls fire hazards that still turn up in North Texas houses. A typical panel upgrade takes about eight hours, with a city inspection the next day. They also install generator interlock kits, separate circuits for high-draw appliances and recessed lighting. Tesla has approved them to install its Wall Connector home chargers.
Small jobs sometimes turn into bigger ones. One household wrote in a Google review that it had called Green to install an EV charger and a surge protector, and he found the house also needed a new panel. Green handled the permitting and helped get Oncor to restore power the same day, the review says. When a ground-fault outlet he installed kept tripping, he came back three times, each visit within a day of the call, until the problem was solved.
Green keeps his territory tight. “I try to stay within 30 minutes,” he says. The company is based on East Arapaho Road in Richardson, and its website lists Richardson, Dallas, Plano, Garland, Addison, Highland Park and University Park.
Lighting is the part of the trade both Greens follow most closely. The website says Larry visits Dallas-area art museums to study how their installations use light to change a space, and Logan goes to lighting expos to keep up with LED technology. A 2019 version of the company’s site said Larry regularly attended lighting industry conferences around the country.
The company’s slogan was on that 2019 site, and Green still uses it. “When things get hairy,” he says, “just call Larry.”
