We had our 28 year old 400 amp electric service replaced. They did a great job of installing the new panels with whole house surge protection and a new meter. We had no power for the day, as expected, but they worked efficiently and were able to get Duke Power people and Wake County inspectors out pretty quickly. We had power back on by 3pm. It was expensive ($12K), but that’s just what they cost. Like a. new HVAC, only different.
Very pleased!
Went well beyond service that was expected

He took the time to explain what was causing the problem with my doorbell and electrical outlets and how he could repair it. There was no pressure, and he explained everything he was doing step by step. Nothing was done without my permission, which avoided any surprises.

I had a great experience and couldn’t be happier with the service! From the moment Charles arrived, he was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything he was doing and walked me through the estimates in detail, making sure I understood exactly what was needed and why.
Our safety inspection through the membership plan is well worth it especially when someone like Charlie shows up at your door! Charlie is not only knowledgeable, he shares his honest opinions on what should be replaced and why. He isn’t pushy and gave us a complete rundown of our home’s electrical safety needs. We felt so comfortable having him in our home. He is super friendly and pretty funny too! Our new puppy took a special liking to him as well! (sorry about that lol) Highly recommend Charlie!!
Very professional quick to resolve.
Bryant was prompt, professional, respectful, and efficient. Couldn't ask for more!
