FAQs
What electrical services do you offer in Old Fort?
We provide a full range of residential and light-commercial services, including panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, lighting design and installation, breaker/fuse replacement, outlet and switch additions, ceiling-fan installation, surge protection, EV-charger setup, generator interlock kits, and routine troubleshooting or repairs. If you’re unsure whether we handle a specific task, give us a call—chances are we do.
Are your electricians licensed, insured, and familiar with local codes?
Absolutely. All of our technicians hold North Carolina Unlimited Electrical Contractor licenses, carry full liability and workers’-comp insurance, and complete ongoing training in the National Electrical Code (NEC) and McDowell County amendments. Because we’re based near Old Fort, we’re also well-versed in local permitting processes and Duke Energy service requirements, ensuring safe, code-compliant work every time.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Old Fort?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency hotline. For customers in Old Fort, our on-call technician can usually be on site within 60–90 minutes, depending on traffic and weather. We arrive with a fully stocked service vehicle so most issues—such as tripped breakers, partial power loss, or storm damage—can be resolved on the first visit.
Do you offer free estimates or second opinions for residential projects?
Yes. We provide no-obligation, written estimates for all planned projects, from small fixture upgrades to full rewires. If another contractor has given you a quote and you’d like a second opinion, we’re happy to review their proposal, explain any differences, and suggest cost-effective alternatives.
What energy-efficient upgrades do you recommend for Old Fort homes?
LED lighting retrofits, smart thermostats, programmable dimmer switches, occupancy sensors, and Energy Star appliances typically deliver the fastest payback. We can also install whole-house surge protection and power-monitoring systems to track usage in real time. If you drive an EV or plan to, adding a Level-2 charger fed from a dedicated circuit will improve efficiency and charging speed.
How much does it cost to rewire an older home in Old Fort, and what’s involved?
Rewiring costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and the number of circuits/outlets required. For most 1,500–2,000 sq ft homes in Old Fort, pricing ranges from $8,000 to $15,000, including a new 200-amp panel. The process involves replacing outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring with copper, adding grounded outlets, upgrading the service entrance, and patching walls neatly afterward. We handle permits, inspections, and coordinate with Duke Energy, completing the job in 5–10 days while minimizing disruption to your household.
