Why Choose Us
✦
Apex’s
Trusted Electrician
Electric All Pro is the company I set up in 2018, after wiring houses, businesses and old homes from 2005. Apex homeowners kept describing hazy quotes and bills that climbed once the job began. From the Salem Street blocks to the newest subdivisions, I keep it plain: one firm price before work, clean work, and being there at the hour we agreed on.
-
Licensed, Insured, Permitted
Every Apex electrical permit names NC License L.32531. We keep $1M/$2M liability coverage; each inspection record is yours.
-
The Price Comes First
Planned work gets a free written estimate. An unexplained fault begins with an $89 diagnostic. You pay the figure we quote, no more.
-
Learned From a Father With 40+ Years of Work
My father gave more than four decades to the trade and trained me in it. Apex's old brick buildings reward that patience: we get each job right the first time.

Apex Homes
Wiring Apex Homes on Two Utilities
Apex has run its own electric utility since 1917, yet not every Apex home buys power from the town. Here is how that, plus a downtown rebuilt in brick, shapes the electrical work we do for each home.
Brick Blocks of Downtown Apex
Wiring layered behind old brick walls
Following the fires of 1905 and 1911, merchants rebuilt along Salem Street in brick, and Town Hall went up in 1912. Buildings that old may conceal a century of electrical alterations.
- Circuits identified and repaired
- Grounding and wiring upgrades
- Careful routes for new wiring
Meter Bases on the Town Utility
Town-approved sockets, sized services
On the town's utility, only meter sockets Apex has approved for revenue metering are allowed. We install the self-contained Class 200 and 320 types, and the town sets transformer-rated Class 20 ones.
- Approved meter sockets installed
- Load calculations, then sizing
- Disconnect and reconnect planned with the utility
Solar and Chargers, Utility First
Home solar with separate utility requirements
Apex Electric solar requires a fused, lockable disconnect within 6 feet of the meter and stays off until the town emails approval. Homes outside its system follow another utility.
- Utility confirmed first
- Solar isolation switches near the meter base
- EV charger circuits

of Our Licensed Work
Google reviews left by Triangle homeowners, unedited, in the words they chose and exactly as each was posted.
Featured review
“Hands down not just some of the most effective electricians, however best staff that I’ve hired. The full team was quick, punctual, elaborate orientated and even cleaned up. I had them install ceiling fans, closet lights, and fix some unhealthy trade. Hired them once more time to put in outlets for a TV and find some low voltage speaker wire. I will use Electric All PRO once more for anything electric while I’m in the city.”
Carolyn R. Harris
“My location was so far for her electrician(s) to come to and originally she recommended a different electrician. I am not basing my review on electric work. I am solely basing it on how really nice the lady who responds the phone was to me. I like integrity! The lady I spoke to recommended that I save myself some money by using them. One electric company wanted to charge me $150 just to come There were many electric companies that were charging me anywhere from $100 to $210 for a job that took less than 20 minutes to do. I would truly use this company for bigger issues simply because they were honest enough to let me know when it wasn’t necessary. I highly recommend Electric All PRO (even if they are too far from my home).”
Margaretta Wilhelmina
“I was recently looking for an electrician in Raleigh and I came across Electric All PRO. I availed their FREE Electrical Inspection, and it was quite good. I was happy to see that they heard the problems that I had, and they diligently did their work and asked the right questions. Their service satisfied me as they checked everything and gave me a detailed report about the problems that I might face and about the things that I should get fixed. I would recommend their services, and I will contact them the next time when I have any work related to electrical works.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions From Apex Homeowners
What Apex homeowners ask first: which utility serves the house, meter sockets, the town's permits, inspections and outages.
Still have questions?
Your call goes straight to your licensed electrician, never a call center.
Real People. Real Answers.
Ask us about Apex Electric rules.
Do you hold a license and insurance for work in Apex?
Yes: NC License L.32531, plus a general liability policy of $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. The town's Building Inspections & Permitting office inspects the Apex jobs we permit, so every one of them sits in the town's own records.
Can I buy my own meter base for an Apex Electric home?
Only one the town has approved for revenue metering. On Apex Electric, the electrician installs self-contained Class 200 and Class 320 sockets, the town installs transformer-rated Class 20 ones, and no one may penetrate a transformer cabinet. We confirm the class before ordering, with a written estimate first.
Is the town's meter replacement in Apex the same as a service upgrade?
No. Since October 2025 the town has been swapping its own meters. A bigger service is a separate job with its own permit.
Do you work in every neighborhood in Apex, NC?
Yes, from the Salem Street district to Waterford Green, Beckett Crossing, Carriage Downs and Sunset Hills, plus Cary, Holly Springs and Morrisville, with one licensed crew.
Does electrical work on my Apex home need a permit?
Yes. Apex requires a permit for every electrical installation or modification, and the town handles it, not Wake County: Building Inspections & Permitting at 322 North Mason Street issues it through the ePermits portal, and inspections are requested by 2 p.m. the day before. We file the permit, pay the fees and book each inspection.
Power out at my Apex home: is it Apex Electric, Duke or a problem in my panel?
When the whole street is dark, call your utility: most Apex homes are on the town's own Apex Electric, (919) 249-3531, and Duke Energy Progress serves other addresses. Lights on next door? Then the fault is likely your panel or service drop; call us 24/7.
