FAQs
What kinds of electrical repairs can your skilled technicians handle in Old Fort?
Our team is equipped to troubleshoot and repair virtually any residential or light-commercial electrical issue you might encounter in Old Fort. This includes circuit breaker and panel problems, faulty outlets or switches, lighting fixture replacement, whole-house rewiring, surge protection installation, GFCI/AFCI upgrades, ceiling-fan wiring, smoke and CO detector wiring, electric vehicle (EV) charger installation, and more. If you are unsure whether we can fix a particular issue, just call—we’ll give you an honest assessment and, if needed, guide you to the right specialty service.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Old Fort?
Yes. Every technician who enters your home or business is a fully licensed North Carolina Electrical Contractor or Journeyman and is covered by comprehensive liability and workers’ compensation insurance. We maintain all state and local permits required to operate in McDowell County and remain up-to-date with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as any amendments adopted by the Town of Old Fort. Copies of our credentials and insurance certificates are available upon request.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical repair services in Old Fort?
Absolutely. Electrical failures rarely happen at convenient times, so we keep a rotating on-call crew available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. When you call our emergency line, your call is routed directly to a live dispatcher who can assess the urgency, provide immediate safety instructions, and dispatch the nearest qualified technician. Our vans are stocked with common replacement parts so most emergencies can be resolved on the first visit.
How quickly can I schedule a service visit and what’s your typical response time inside Old Fort city limits?
For non-emergency repairs, we can usually schedule an appointment within 24–48 hours. If you call before noon, same-day service is often available because we reserve several time slots each day for urgent but non-critical issues. For true emergencies (sparking panels, burning smell, loss of power to critical circuits), our average arrival time inside Old Fort city limits is 60 minutes or less, depending on traffic and weather.
What should I do if I experience a sudden power outage or electrical hazard before the technician arrives?
First, stay calm and turn off or unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage from sudden power restoration. If you hear buzzing, see sparks, or smell burning plastic, locate your main breaker panel—usually outside or in a utility room—and switch the main breaker to the OFF position. Never touch a charred outlet, exposed wire, or water-damaged electrical component. If the hazard involves smoke or fire, evacuate immediately and call 911. Once everyone is safe, call us to report the situation so we can dispatch an emergency technician and coordinate with the utility company if needed.
How do you estimate repair costs, and what payment options are available?
After diagnosing the problem, our technician will provide a flat-rate, itemized quote that covers parts, labor, and any permit fees—no hidden add-ons. We follow standardized pricing for common repairs and use time-and-material rates only for complex, open-ended projects (with your approval). Once you sign off on the quote, that price won’t change unless additional issues are discovered and you authorize further work. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and cash, and we also offer short-term financing on repairs over $500 through our lending partner. Senior and military discounts are available upon proof of eligibility.
