Electrical Services
Why are newer homes still having breaker problems?
Many Holly Springs homes were built with minimum required panel capacity. Once homeowners add:
-
EV chargers
-
Home offices
-
Finished garages
-
Hot tubs
Breaker trips begin.
Electrical repair here often involves panel upgrades rather than small fixes.
Are flickering lights normal in new subdivisions?
Not typically. Flickering lights may indicate:
-
Loose neutral wiring
-
Shared circuit overload
-
Panel busbar issues
These should be evaluated quickly to prevent escalation.
HVAC Company Services
Why does my AC run constantly but not cool enough?
Common in high-growth subdivisions:
-
Builder-grade systems
-
Poor attic insulation
-
Improper duct sizing
An experienced HVAC contractor performs static pressure testing and airflow diagnostics before recommending HVAC replacement.
When do I need furnace repair?
Even mild winters require reliable ignition systems. Furnace repair often addresses:
-
Flame sensor corrosion
-
Blower motor wear
-
Control board faults
Annual maintenance prevents emergency failures.

Jim and Mason were great! They worked good as a team should. The installation of the dedicated electrical circuit went quick, smooth and without a hitch! Jim asked for a broom to clean up the mess and I said I would get it but he insisted so I got him the broom and dustpan.
Great Service
Jonathan did a great job installing floodlights in our backyard. He’s done a few projects for us and we’re always very happy with the work done!
Jim was fantastic. I would have put 10 stars if I could. He was well versed in his craft. He explained everything he was going to do and did it all within a timely matter. He was very professional. When he was under the crawl space he even brought to my attention an issue I was having down there. I wish more companies had people like Jim working for them.
Wonderful service & safety suggestions. Jami was very knowledgeable
Great service
Recently had a transfer switch installed to run our generator into the house. Not only was the service fantastic but they came out the next day to install. Johnathan and his assistant installed it and I couldn’t have as asked for a better interaction. They were extremely friendly, easy to chat with and knew exactly what they were doing. He never pressured me into buying anything extra and gave me options for different services. Johnathan was somebody I would hire for my own company and that’s one of the greatest compliment you can give. Guys were excellent and price was fair for the work they did. I’ll definitely be using Dawsons again for future
Jim was great to work with
Very courteous, friendly did an excellent job and was determined to finish the entire project in one evening rather than rescheduling part of it to a later date about a month later. Cleaned the house as neat as he found it
Great Service
Jonathan was wonderful. Took care of our issues and explained all options thoroughly.
On time, reasonable price, Jim Gangi was fantastic - very knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, would highly recommend him

New to town and third time using Dawson. Had multiple projects that YouTube could not fix. Jim was great. Knowledge, options, let us know costs and real nice guy. Would highly recommend Dawson. BTW great customer service as well.
John did a great job. Besides what we called him out to do, he pointed out a leak in our crawl space of which we had no idea. In addition he informed us about our woefully out of date smoke detectors and replaced them on the spot. Thank you for going above and beyond!
Polite, efficient and good. I am very pleased
