Commercial
Restaurants, hotels, offices, churches, medical and retail: service calls, equipment hook-ups, tenant fit-ups, lighting controls, parking-lot lighting, three-phase.
CommercialMost of our work overlaps. The difference is scale, code requirements and how fast a business needs to be back open.
From a single dead outlet to a whole-house rewire. Older Wake County homes bring us aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels; newer ones bring EV chargers, hot tubs, generators and additions that need a load calculation first.
We keep restaurants, hotels, churches, medical and dental offices, apartment communities, HOAs, schools and municipal buildings running across the Triangle — service calls, equipment circuits, lighting upgrades, tenant upfits and three-phase repair.
Clients include Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley, Shake Shack, Mellow Mushroom, BluePearl Veterinary, Hope Community Church, the Town of Apex and the Town of Holly Springs.
If it runs on electricity in a home or a building, it's on this list. Don't see it? Call — we probably do that too.
The credentials behind the work — and the promise that goes with every quote.
The ARC Promise. Free in-home quotes, no trip charge, no estimate fee, no obligation. Our electricians are paid the same regardless of what you buy, so the recommendation you get is the one you need. Price in writing before work starts. Read the Promise
Straight from the dispatch desk.
If you're in Wake County, yes — Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Morrisville, Wake Forest, Knightdale and everywhere between. We also cover Durham, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Angier, Lillington, Willow Spring and New Hill. Not sure? Check the service-area map or just call; dispatch will tell you in ten seconds.
We won't guess over the phone — nobody can price a repair they haven't seen, and a number pulled from the air is how surprise bills happen. Instead, an electrician comes out for free, and gives you the price in writing before any work starts. No trip charge, no estimate fee, no obligation. Once you approve it, the work usually starts right then. And because our electricians aren't paid on commission, the price is for the fix you need, not the biggest one they can sell.
Zero. No trip charge, no estimate fee — for any job, anywhere in our service area. That's the ARC Promise, and it's been that way since 2011.
Yes — it's one of our most-requested jobs. Level 2 home chargers of every brand, Tesla Wall Connectors, NEMA 14-50 outlets and load-management setups for panels that are already full. We pull the permit, handle the inspection and walk you through the Duke Energy charger credit if you qualify. Typical installed costs, what affects them and the credit details are all on our EV charger page.
Often, yes. With nine electricians on the road across Wake County we can usually fit an urgent call in the same day — call before noon and the odds are good. True emergencies (no power, burning smell, sparking, storm damage) are dispatched 24 hours a day, every day, to the on-call electrician.
Panel work, new circuits, generators and EV chargers do; swapping a fixture or outlet generally doesn't. When one is needed we pull it and schedule the inspection — it's part of the quote. Our permit directory covers every Wake County town.
Yes. ARC Electric holds an NC Unlimited Electrical License (#29565). Every electrician is background-checked, uniformed and arrives in a marked ARC truck.
Our own office, Monday–Friday 8 to 5 — not a call center. After hours and on weekends, an answering service reaches the on-call electrician directly, so an emergency at 2 a.m. gets a real electrician, not a voicemail.
Tell us what’s going on and we’ll call to set a time. Or skip the form and call now; a person answers.
