Our Electrical Services
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Wake Forest
Does your breaker keep tripping when you run the dryer and microwave at the same time? That’s your panel telling you it can’t handle modern life. Most homes around here were built with 100-amp service. Now with computers, TVs in every room, and EV chargers, you need 200 amps minimum.
We upgrade panels all the time in the older neighborhoods near Wait Avenue and South White Street. It takes about a day, and the power’s back on the same night. Duke Energy handles the meter disconnect—we coordinate everything so your not sitting in the dark.
Circuit Breaker Repair in Wake Forest
Sometimes you don’t need a whole new panel, just new breakers. They wear out after years of flipping on and off. A breaker that won’t reset or feels hot to touch needs replacing now. We carry every major brand on the truck.
Some breakers are actually dangerous and should be replaced immediately. We found a panel with this breaker in a house off Rogers Road.
Whole-Home Rewiring in Wake Forest
Got an old house with knob and tube wiring? Or aluminum wiring from the 70s? That stuff isn’t safe anymore and most insurance companies won’t cover it. Whole-home rewiring sounds expensive but it’s cheaper than rebuilding after a fire.
We rewire homes in sections so your not without power for days. Most jobs take 3-5 days depending on house size. There’s some drywall work involved but we patch everything back up clean.
Ceiling Fan Installation in Wake Forest
Installing new ceiling fans in the place of a light fixture makes a huge difference in Wake Forest summers. But that electrical box in your ceiling probably wasn’t rated for a fan—just a light fixture. We install proper fan-rated boxes and make sure everything’s balanced so you don’t get that annoying wobble.
Popular spots are bedrooms, living rooms, and screened porches. We can add wall controls or wire them into your existing switches.
Recessed Lighting Installation in Wake Forest
Recessed lighting makes any room look better. We install them in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways—anywhere you want clean, modern lighting. The new LED recessed lights barely use any electricity and last for years.
Older homes need some extra work to run new wiring through the ceiling. New construction or remodels are easier since the walls are already open.
Light Fixture Installation in Wake Forest
Chandeliers, pendant lights, bathroom vanity lights—we install and repair them all. That flickering light fixture isn’t just annoying, it’s usually a loose connection that could start a fire. We tighten everything up proper and make sure it’s safe.
Swapping out old fixtures for new ones is one of the fastest ways to update your house. Takes us about an hour per fixture usually.
Light Switch Installation in Wake Forest
Need a dimmer switch? Three-way switch for your stairs? Motion sensor for the garage? We install all types of switches. Smart switches are real popular now—control your lights from your phone or set schedules.
Old switches wear out and get loose. If you hear crackling or feel heat, get it replaced before it fails completely.
LED Recessed Lighting Conversion in Wake Forest
Switching to LED bulbs saves money every month on your electric bill. But some older fixtures don’t work right with LEDs—they flicker or hum. We can retrofit your fixtures or install new LED-ready ones that work perfect.
LED lights last 10-15 years usually, so you won’t be changing bulbs constantly anymore.
Whole Home Surge Protector in Wake Forest
Summer lightning storms around here will fry your electronics if you don’t have whole-home surge protection. We install them right at your panel. One good lightning strike and you’ll be glad you spent a few hundred instead of replacing thousands of dollars worth of TVs and computers.
Outlet Installation in Wake Forest
Outlets wear out, get loose, or just stop working. Dead outlets are annoying. Warm outlets or ones with scorch marks are dangerous. We replace bad outlets and add new ones wherever you need them—garage, kitchen, home office, anywhere.
GFCI outlets are required in bathrooms and kitchens now. They trip when they detect moisture to prevent shocks. We upgrade old outlets to GFCI all the time.

The next day White’s plumbing dug the broken pipe out, removed the roots, replaced the pipe and did a camera inspection of the entire line leading to the house and into the street.
They were also able to successfully find the house clean out which was under a bush a landscaping contractor had covered up years ago. They raised the pipe and put on a new cover for the house clean out.
They communicated well, were thorough and prompt. They finished the day before our 5 inch snow storm.
Above all else they wanted us to be set before the snow came.
They were also very reasonable in price. The coordination between Keith, the office staff and the plumbers was great!
White’s is very responsive, exactly what you need and expect when you’re having plumbing problems. They showed up the same day we called them.
Eric came out to our house to fix an issue with a drain pipe and a water pipe. He was very professional! He called before he arrived and told us what time to expect him. He was on time! He was friendly and explained exactly what he was doing.
Eric’s troubleshooting skills are great. He started with the simple things to check and moved on from there. He was respectful of our property and only cut into the wall when there was no other choice. The way he was able to triage the issue, he was able to pinpoint the issue and only cut into the wall where necessary.
Once he found the issue, Eric was able to fix it quickly and using quality materials. It’s probably better than when it was first put in!
I highly recommend White’s Plumbing. If Eric services your area, ask for him!
