Is Residential Electrical Service Right for Your Home?
Electrical problems in your home are more than an inconvenience -- they can be a safety hazard. Whether you are dealing with an aging system or planning an upgrade, here is who benefits most from professional residential electrical services.
Get Started
Homeowners in Older Homes Needing Panel Upgrades or Rewiring
Your home is 30, 40, or 50+ years old and still running on the original wiring or a small electrical panel. You are noticing signs of strain -- warm outlets, frequent breaker trips, or inability to run modern appliances without overloading circuits. You need a licensed electrician to evaluate your system and bring it up to current code.
Homeowners Planning Renovations That Require Electrical Work
You are remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding a room -- and the existing wiring cannot support the new layout or load. You need an electrician who coordinates with your general contractor or renovation team to ensure new circuits, outlets, and fixtures are installed correctly before the walls close up.
Homeowners Adding an EV Charger or Generator Hookup
You have purchased an electric vehicle or want backup power for storm season. Installing a Level 2 EV charger or whole-house generator transfer switch requires a dedicated circuit, potential panel upgrade, and proper permitting. You need a licensed electrician who handles the full scope from assessment to final inspection.
Homeowners with Flickering Lights, Tripping Breakers, or Safety Concerns
Something does not feel right -- lights dim when you turn on an appliance, breakers trip repeatedly, or you have noticed a burning smell near an outlet. These are warning signs of wiring issues that should not be ignored. You need a prompt, thorough diagnostic from a licensed professional who can identify and resolve the root cause.
Homeowners Wanting Smart Home or Lighting Upgrades
You want to modernize your home with recessed LED lighting, dimmer controls, under-cabinet lighting, or smart home wiring for automated systems. You need an electrician who understands both the electrical requirements and the design intent -- someone who can deliver clean, reliable installations that look as good as they perform.

Residential Electrical Services FAQs
When should I upgrade my electrical panel?
If your home still has a fuse box, a panel rated under 150 amps, or a panel that is more than 25 years old, it is likely time for an upgrade. Other signs include frequently tripping breakers, plans to add major appliances or an EV charger, or a home insurance provider flagging your panel. A panel upgrade ensures your home can safely handle modern electrical demands.
What are the signs of outdated or unsafe wiring?
Warning signs include flickering or dimming lights, outlets that are warm to the touch, a burning smell near outlets or switches, frequently tripping breakers, discolored wall plates, and two-prong outlets with no grounding. If your home was built before 1980 and has never been rewired, the wiring may also contain aluminum or knob-and-tube materials that pose increased fire risk.
How much does it cost to rewire a house?
The cost of rewiring depends on the size of your home, the number of circuits, accessibility of the wiring paths, and whether walls need to be opened. For a typical 1,500 to 2,500 square foot home in the Charlotte area, homeowners can expect a range that varies based on these factors. We provide detailed, itemized estimates after our in-home assessment so there are no surprises.
What is involved in installing a home EV charger?
Installing a Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel to the charging location, typically in the garage. We assess your panel capacity, install a new breaker and wiring run, mount the charging unit, and handle all permitting and inspection. If your panel does not have enough capacity, we may recommend a panel upgrade as part of the project.
Do I need permits for residential electrical work?
In North Carolina, most electrical work beyond basic fixture swaps requires a permit. This includes panel upgrades, new circuit installations, rewiring, EV charger installation, and generator hookups. We handle all permit applications and schedule the required inspections as part of our standard service. You do not need to visit the permit office yourself.
How long does residential electrical work typically take?
Timeline depends on scope. A single circuit installation or EV charger typically takes one day. A panel upgrade usually takes one to two days. A whole-house rewire for a standard-sized home takes three to five days, sometimes longer if walls need to be opened and repaired. We provide a specific timeline during your proposal and communicate any changes immediately.
Can I stay in my home during electrical work?
In most cases, yes. For targeted repairs, panel upgrades, and single-circuit installations, you can remain in your home with minimal disruption. Power may be off to certain areas for portions of the work, but we coordinate shutdowns to minimize inconvenience. For whole-house rewires, there may be periods without power to larger sections of the home. We will discuss logistics during planning so you can prepare.
Can you install recessed lighting or retrofit my home with LEDs?
Yes. LED recessed lighting is one of our most requested services. We install new-construction recessed cans, retrofit existing fixtures with LED modules, add dimmer switches, and design lighting layouts for kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, and exteriors. LED upgrades reduce energy costs and improve the look and feel of your home immediately.
Do I need whole-house surge protection?
We strongly recommend it. A whole-house surge protector is installed at your electrical panel and guards all circuits against power surges from lightning strikes, utility grid fluctuations, and large appliance cycling. It protects expensive electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems for a relatively modest investment. We can install surge protection as a standalone service or as part of a panel upgrade.
