Safely Expand Your Home’s Power Capacity

Many homes in Holly Springs built 15–20 years ago operate on 100-amp or 150-amp panels that struggle with today’s electrical loads. If your breakers trip frequently when running high-draw appliances, or if you plan to add a hot tub, finished basement, or EV charger, an electrical panel upgrade is essential.

  • 200-Amp & 400-Amp Service Upgrades: Replace outdated, overloaded breaker boxes with high-capacity panels.

  • Code Compliance & Permitting: We coordinate directly with Wake County inspectors and Duke Energy for seamless, safe installations.

  • Subpanel Installation: Add dedicated subpanels for workshops, detached garages, or home additions.

Fast, Permitted EV Charging at Home

Charging your EV on a standard 120V outlet can take days. We install dedicated 240V Level 2 EV charging stations (Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, JuiceBox, and universal systems) so your vehicle fully recharges overnight.

  • Load Calculation & Safety Inspection: We verify your main electrical panel can handle the additional load before installation.

  • Turnkey Installation: Complete wiring, dedicated circuit breaker placement, hardwired or NEMA 14-50 outlet setup, and permit management.

Uninterrupted Power During North Carolina Storms & Grid Outages

Severe weather and grid interruptions shouldn't leave your family in the dark. We sell, install, and service automatic whole-home standby generators (Generac, Kohler) that kick on within seconds of a utility power loss.

  • Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS): Seamlessly shift power from the grid to your generator without manual intervention.

  • Essential Circuit vs. Whole-House Coverage: Custom sizing to power critical systems (HVAC, refrigeration, medical equipment) or your entire property.

Protect Sensitive Electronics & Appliances from Voltage Spikes

Standard power strips only shield low-draw devices plugged directly into them. Whole-home surge protection installs at your main electrical panel to safeguard HVAC compressors, smart appliances, televisions, and charging devices from severe lightning surges and local grid fluctuations.

Custom Lighting Design & Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Transform the comfort, security, and aesthetic value of your home with professional fixture installations:

  • Recessed LED Lighting: Modern, energy-efficient recessed cans for kitchens, living rooms, and high ceilings.

  • Landscape & Security Lighting: Motion-sensor floodlights, walkway lighting, and low-voltage accent lights to protect your property.

  • Ceiling Fan & Fixture Mounting: Safe box mounting and wiring for high-ceiling fans and heavy chandeliers.

Fast Diagnostics by Licensed Electricians

Electrical issues pose serious fire and safety hazards when neglected. Our team offers 24/7 emergency repair services for common residential and commercial electrical problems:

  • Outlets & Switches: Repairing dead outlets, replacing ungrounded receptacles with GFCI/AFCI protection, and repairing flickering lights.

  • Aluminum Wiring & Home Rewiring: Upgrading aging, unsafe wiring configurations to meet current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.

  • Code Violation Correction: Bringing older electrical systems up to code prior to home sales or renovation final inspections.

Your Questions Answered

Why are newer homes still having breaker problems?

Many homes were built with minimum required panel capacity.

Once homeowners add these features, the entire space gets an upgrade:

  • EV chargers

  • Home offices

  • Finished garages

  • Hot tubs

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.

Responded to a loss of power affecting kitchen appliances in a 2022 home. Upon inspection of the electrical panel located in the garage, discovered two separate circuits serving the microwave and range were not functioning. Investigation revealed significant electrical arcing and heat damage on terminal block connections, evidenced by black charring and burn marks at the connection points. Identified the damaged terminals as the source of circuit failure preventing power delivery to the affected appliances. Replaced the compromised terminal blocks, re-terminated all affected conductors with proper torque specifications, and verified secure connections throughout the panel. Restored power to both circuits and confirmed proper operation of the microwave and range. Tested all connections for heat and proper voltage delivery. System restored to full functionality with no further issues detected.

We had a massive tree fall at our home and it took down the power line and meter box. Dawson’s did and excellent job and handled the whole process with professionalism and care. Preston was our technician and did a great job. He went the extra mile to make sure everything was done correctly. Didn’t cut any corners. He kept us informed of what he was doing and made sure we understood what was going on through the entire process. He stayed on site until the power was restored by Duke to make sure everything worked properly and was safe. Preston was very professional and respectful. He even offered me water as I was working cutting up the tree and cleaning up debris in the yard. I highly recommend Preston and Dawson’s Electric and Air to handle any electrical and HVAC needs you have.
