Raleigh’s Trusted, Family-Owned Electrician Since 2011

Home of the FREE on-site quote

Finding a good electrician in Raleigh shouldn’t be hard — but for years, working as service electricians for other local companies, we kept seeing the same gaps in customer service. So in 2011, we started ARC Electric to do it differently: real licensed electricians, honest pricing, and no trip charge just to show up. Over a decade later, we’re still family owned and operated, and still answering the call for homeowners and businesses across the greater Raleigh area.

Available for both Commercial & Residential Electrical work

Our residential jobs can include everything from trouble-shooting service calls and replacing an electrical panel, to remodeling projects that require electrical upgrades such as new interior lighting or installing power and control systems for a pool and spa.
