FAQs
What types of electrical repair services do you provide in Old Fort?
We service everything from minor household repairs—such as outlet or switch replacements—to full panel upgrades, lighting retrofits, surge protection, and troubleshooting complex circuit failures. Our team also handles specialty work like EV-charger installations, generator hookups, and code-compliance corrections for both residential and light-commercial properties.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Every technician who arrives at your Old Fort home or business holds a North Carolina Unlimited Electrical License, carries up-to-date liability insurance, and is bonded. This protects you from liability and ensures all repairs meet state and National Electrical Code requirements.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical repairs?
Absolutely. Power losses, burning smells, sparking panels, and storm damage can’t wait. Our emergency hotline is staffed around the clock, and an on-call electrician can typically be on-site anywhere in the Old Fort area within 60–90 minutes. Emergency trucks are fully stocked to resolve most issues on the first visit.
How much does an average electrical repair cost?
Costs can vary based on the complexity of the issue, parts required, and time on site. Simple repairs like replacing a faulty GFCI outlet may run $120–$180, while panel repairs or rewiring sections of a home can range from $500 to $2,000. We provide a transparent, written estimate before any work begins, and we never charge hidden fees.
What safety precautions do you follow during a service call?
Safety starts before we arrive. Our dispatchers will advise you to shut off power to the affected circuit if possible. On site, technicians use insulated PPE, verify circuit de-energization with calibrated meters, and lay protective coverings to keep your space clean. We also follow NFPA 70E arc-flash guidelines and secure permits for work that requires inspection.
Can you help bring my older Old Fort home up to current electrical code?
Yes. Many Old Fort homes still have outdated wiring, two-prong outlets, or undersized panels. We perform detailed inspections, identify code violations, and create a phased upgrade plan to spread costs if needed. Services may include adding grounded receptacles, replacing knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, installing AFCI/GFCI protection, and upgrading the service entrance to 200 amps or more.
