Being in the service industry for years, questions like this came up with almost everyone we met. It seemed no one was ever happy with the last company they used and were usually charged an exorbitant amount of money. Well, we decided there was a better way to do service work. Two local families got together and opened ARC Electric with the idea that clean, courteous, and qualified customer service could be delivered at a fair price.
Our work is our Signature.

We started ARC because nobody we met was happy with the last electrician they hired. So we set three rules and put them in writing.
Read the PromiseOur shop sits on US-401 at the 540 interchange in Fuquay-Varina, which puts every part of Raleigh, from North Hills to Garner, and every town in Wake County inside our everyday range. We don’t sub-contract and we don’t send trucks from out of the area: the electrician at your door works for ARC and lives around here.
We pull permits with the City of Raleigh and Wake County inspections offices every week, so the paperwork is routine for us. If you’re unsure whether your town is covered, it almost certainly is; the service-area map shows every town, and if you’re in Wake County, we come out.
Need a permit yourself? Our permits directory lists every office, fee and inspection line for the towns we serve.
Each town has its own page with local details.
