Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Old Fort customers never see surprise charges.
“Under-cabinet lighting and new pendants over the island. Looks like a magazine kitchen now.”
“Panel replacement plus whole-house surge protection. Showed up on time, communicated clearly and the price was right.”
“Added a sub panel to the detached garage for my workshop. Welder, compressor and lights all run without issue now.”
Surge protectors wear with each event. Most have an indicator light; we check them during inspections.
Typically about an hour, with a brief power interruption.
Layered protection is best: a whole house unit at the panel plus quality point-of-use protectors for computers and TVs.
No device can guarantee protection from a direct strike, but panel-mounted surge protection dramatically reduces damage from nearby strikes and utility surges — the most common cause of damage in Old Fort, NC.
