Electrical Services in New Bern

Comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses — licensed, insured, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Improve airflow and cut energy costs year-round with a new ceiling fan. Proper installation ensures wobble-free operation and maximum efficiency in every room.

Electrical Repair Services

Our electricians diagnose the root cause of the problem, explain the repair before starting, fix the issue with commercial-grade materials, and test the circuit to confirm a lasting solution.

Electrical Wiring & Rewiring

Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.

EV Charger Installation

We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.

Hot Tub / Pool Electrical Wiring

Enjoy your pool or hot tub with confidence knowing the electrical system was installed safely by a licensed professional. Proper wiring prevents shock hazards and protects your family every time you swim.

Commercial Electrician Services

Commercial electrical work requires strict code compliance, proper load calculations, and coordination with inspectors and general contractors. Our licensed commercial electricians deliver permitted, inspected, and insured work on every project.

Generator Installation

Keep your home powered through any outage with a professionally installed backup generator. Enjoy uninterrupted comfort and security when the grid goes down.

Landscape Lighting Installation

Outdoor wiring must withstand moisture, temperature swings, and soil contact. Our electricians use UL-listed wet-rated fixtures, GFCI-protected circuits, and proper burial depths to ensure lasting safety.

Circuit Breaker Repair

We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.

Electrical Panel Upgrade

We disconnect the utility feed, swap your outdated panel for a modern load center, re-land every circuit on correctly rated breakers, and coordinate the final inspection with your municipality.

Whole House Surge Protector

A whole-house surge protector shields every appliance, device, and electronic system in your home from voltage spikes. One device at the panel protects thousands of dollars in equipment.

Security Camera Wiring

We run Cat6 or coax cable from each camera location to your DVR or NVR, mount cameras at optimal angles, install weatherproof junction boxes, and power everything through a centralized system.

Ring Doorbell Installation

Improper doorbell wiring can damage your transformer or void your warranty. Our electricians verify voltage, test connections, and ensure your Ring operates safely and reliably.

Smoke Detector Installation

Working smoke detectors cut your risk of dying in a home fire nearly in half. Hardwired, interconnected units alert your entire household the moment smoke is detected anywhere.

Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation

We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.

Electrical Inspection

We examine your panel, wiring, outlets, switches, grounding system, and GFCI protection room by room, then deliver a detailed written report with findings and recommended corrections.

Electrical Troubleshooting

We use thermal imaging, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to trace faults through your wiring, identify the exact failure point, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.

Recessed Lighting Installation

Recessed lighting installed too close to insulation or with incorrect housings is a fire risk. Our electricians use only IC-rated, airtight fixtures and verify every connection for safe operation.

Outlet Installation

Our electricians locate the nearest power source, run new wiring through your walls, install the outlet box, and test the circuit to confirm safe, reliable operation.

Smart Home Electrical

Control your lights, thermostats, locks, and more from your phone or voice assistant. Smart home wiring creates a connected, energy-efficient home that simplifies your daily routine.

Electrical Installation Services

From new construction wiring to appliance hookups and dedicated circuits, professional electrical installation ensures everything works correctly and meets code from day one.

Indoor Lighting Installation

We remove old fixtures, upgrade the electrical box if needed, connect and mount the new fixture securely, and test dimmer compatibility so your lights perform exactly as expected.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

We carefully remove aluminum branch circuit wiring, pull new copper conductors through your existing pathways, terminate every connection at outlets, switches, and the panel, and restore your walls.
