From a single new outlet to troubleshooting a dead circuit to wiring a detached garage, general residential wiring is the backbone of what we do. Much of the housing stock in Winston-Salem, Ardmore, and West End predates modern code by decades — we work in those houses every week and know what we’ll find behind the plaster.
New Circuits and Outlets
Dedicated circuits for kitchen appliances, window units, workshop tools, and home offices; new receptacles where you actually need them; and 240V circuits for dryers, ranges, welders, and heat pump equipment — including long feeder runs with properly sized conductors and disconnects. We’ve run feeders well over 200 feet for outbuilding and HVAC work, with voltage drop calculated, not guessed.
Troubleshooting and Repair
Dead outlets, breakers that won’t hold, lights that dim when the AC kicks on, the mystery switch that does nothing — electrical troubleshooting is detective work, and it’s billed honestly: we diagnose first, explain what we found, and quote the fix before doing it.
GFCI, AFCI, and Older-Home Safety
Current code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, exteriors, and laundry areas, and AFCI protection across most living spaces. In older homes we upgrade protection circuit by circuit, prioritize the genuine hazards (bootleg grounds, back-stabbed receptacles, overloaded neutrals), and give you a straight answer about what needs fixing now versus what can wait.
Subpanels and Outbuildings
Garages, workshops, barns, and well houses — we run underground feeders, set subpanels, and handle the grounding electrode work detached structures require. Agricultural wiring is part of our regular work, not an exception.
