Electrical Services in Wilson
Wilson Electric handles six kinds of electrical work across Wilson and the surrounding towns, from a single dead outlet to a full panel upgrade. Every job below is scoped and quoted before it starts.
Each service below covers what a typical visit includes, roughly how it's sized or priced, and a tip that speeds up the call. Jobs often overlap, a panel upgrade might open the door to adding surge protection at the same time, so mention everything on your mind when you call rather than just the first item on the list.
Electrical Repair
Outlets that have gone dead, switches that stopped doing their job, and breakers that keep tripping all fall under repair. The visit starts by tracing the fault back to its source rather than just resetting the breaker and moving on, since a repeat trip usually means something is still wrong behind the wall. Common fixes include replacing a worn outlet or switch, correcting a loose connection, and isolating which circuit is actually causing the problem when more than one thing in the house seems affected. Tip: note which breaker trips and what's plugged in nearby when you call, it speeds up finding the fault.
Panel Upgrades
A panel that's already out of open slots, still running fuses, or too small for what the house needs today gets swapped for one sized to handle it. This covers straightforward service upgrades as well as full panel replacements when the existing box is worn out or unsafe to keep adding to. Work includes coordinating the brief power shutoff with you ahead of time, running any new circuits the upgrade calls for, and pulling a permit where the scope requires one. Tip: mention any appliances or additions you're planning, like a charger or a workshop, so the new panel is sized with room to spare.
EV Charger Installation
A Level 2 charger goes in on its own dedicated circuit, sized and run from the panel to wherever the vehicle parks in the driveway or garage. The visit checks how much open capacity the existing panel has before anything is installed, since that determines whether the charger is a straightforward add or needs a panel upgrade alongside it. Placement is planned around where the cord reaches comfortably without crossing a walkway. Tip: know your charger's amperage rating before the call if you already bought one, it changes how the circuit gets sized.
Lighting Installation
Recessed cans for a kitchen or living room, fixtures mounted outside over a porch or garage, and ceiling fans swapped in or added new all fall under this service. Jobs range from a single fixture swap to wiring a whole room for new recessed lighting, including any switch or dimmer work that goes with it. Ceiling fan installs get checked for a proper support box before mounting, since a fan needs more than a standard fixture box can hold. Tip: have a rough idea of fixture placement in mind before the visit; it speeds up the wiring plan.
Generator Hookups
A transfer switch and the matching inlet get wired in so a portable or standby generator can power the house directly during an outage, without any risk of feeding electricity back into the utility line. The hookup is sized to the generator you have or plan to buy, and the inlet gets placed somewhere accessible from outside so it's easy to connect once the power is out. Tip: know the generator's wattage before the call so the transfer switch and circuits it covers get matched correctly.
Whole-Home Surge Protection
A surge protection device gets mounted directly at the panel, so it catches a power spike, whether from a lightning strike nearby or the grid itself, before it reaches the wiring and outlets throughout the house. This is a one-time install rather than an ongoing service, and it works alongside any plug-in surge strips already protecting individual electronics rather than replacing them. It's a common add-on when a panel is already open for an upgrade or repair. Tip: ask about it during any other panel work, since adding it then avoids a separate visit later.
