Problems we solve

• Outdated Electrical Panel — Many older Charlotte homes still have 100-amp panels or even fuse boxes that can't safely handle modern electrical demands.
• Insufficient Outlets — Using extension cords and power strips everywhere is a fire hazard. We add outlets where you need them safely and to code.
• Flickering Lights — Flickering or dimming lights can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing wiring that needs professional diagnosis.
• No Whole-Home Surge Protection — Charlotte's frequent thunderstorms put your electronics and appliances at risk. A whole-home surge protector safeguards everything.
• Outdated Lighting — Upgrade from dated fixtures to modern recessed lighting, under-cabinet lights, or smart lighting systems for better ambiance and energy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?

If your panel is a fuse box, under 150 amps, or you're adding significant loads like an EV charger or hot tub, a panel upgrade is recommended.

Can you add outlets to rooms that don't have enough?

Yes, we can add outlets to any room. We route wiring through attics, crawl spaces, or walls to minimize visible impact.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes, we install Level 2 EV chargers for all makes and models. This typically requires a dedicated 240V circuit from your panel.

Is a whole-home surge protector worth it?

Absolutely. Charlotte gets frequent thunderstorms. A whole-home surge protector costs a fraction of replacing damaged electronics and appliances.

Do you pull permits for electrical work?

Yes, all work requiring permits is properly permitted and inspected. This protects you and ensures the work meets code.
