Electrician Serving Cary
About Us.
Electric All Pro has repaired, upgraded and wired Cary homes since 2018, from the historic district to Amberly, as a North Carolina-licensed electrical contractor focused on panels, EV chargers and lighting.
Wiring Homes Since 2005.
At Work in Cary.
Hugo Balbuena began in the electrical trade in 2005 on new homes and commercial sites, and in 2018 launched Electric All Pro to work one-on-one with homeowners: he hears the problem out, explains his findings and repairs what counts most.
For Cary, that is 100-amp services in MacGregor Downs, aluminum-era wiring in 1970s homes, and Duke Energy Progress on most streets.

Cary’s
Trusted Electrician
Electric All Pro got its start in 2018. From 2005 on I wired new houses, commercial buildings and older homes, and I kept watching owners get vague quotes and inflated prices on small repairs. For Cary households, from the historic district out to Amberly, I keep it plain: a firm price before we begin, a clean site, and my truck in your driveway at the hour we settled on.
-
State-Licensed and Fully Insured
Each Cary project is licensed through NC License L.32531, protected by $1M/$2M in liability insurance. You keep every record.
-
The Price Comes First
Planned work starts with a free written estimate. A fault with no clear cause starts with an $89 diagnostic. Once quoted, the price holds.
-
Learned From a Father With 40+ Years
Everything I know came from my father and his 40-plus years in the trade. A 1960s MacGregor Downs house or new Amberly build gets that care: right the first time.

Cary Homes
What Each Decade of Cary Homes Brings
Cary went from 3,356 residents in 1960 to about 183,582 across Wake and Chatham counties. Every wave of growth wired homes for its own decade, which shapes how we approach each one.
Homes of the Cary Historic District
Several eras of wiring in one house
About 30 houses from roughly 1890 to 1945 stand on South Academy Street, South Harrison Avenue, West Park Street and Dry Avenue, most with generations of electrical work.
- Circuits identified era by era
- Grounding and splices corrected
- Service capacity reviewed
MacGregor Downs, Late 1960s
1960s services carrying today's loads
The country club formed in 1967, and houses rose around its Willard Byrd course. In this neighborhood we replaced a full 100-amp service with a 200-amp meter base and a Siemens 200-amp panel.
- Load calculation before any quote
- 200-amp replacement panels
- Aluminum branch wiring checks before adding load

Featured review
“Hugo is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I called several places before I was fortunate enough to stumble onto All Pro, and what made me go ahead with them was I was able to talk to an actual electrician. They were out here within a few hours and Hugo knocked it out quick. Very satisfied with the whole experience and happy to have an electrician I can depend on. I would recommend to anyone, and will definitely be calling in the future.”
Jon Pearson
“They instantly confirmed the appointment and send their electrician to my house the next day. I and the electrician went through everything that needs to be done and he estimated that it would take around 4 days to complete the work. However, when I mentioned that I had to get the work done earlier, the very friendly lady at their office said that she would get it done in 3 days. She coordinated with the electrician, and he didn’t hesitate to put his extra effort. He did an outstanding job in less duration.”
Trenton Cope
“Last week we had a major issue with the main breaker of our house, due to which our electricity was completely out and we were in a miserable condition. We had to get the breaker replaced immediately. Two of the electricians who were sent by Electric All Pro were extremely wonderful to work with. They both strived hard and left no stone unturned to make sure that we got reconnected to the power that very day. Even though Electric All-Pro had a tight schedule, still they managed to make time for us and helped us on that tough day. Glad to announce that we are now their proud customers.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical Questions From Cary Homes
What Cary homeowners ask before they call: aluminum wiring, 200-amp upgrades, chargers, permits and outages.
Still have questions?
Your call goes to the licensed electrician doing the work, not an operator.
Real People. Real Answers.
Panel full? Charger plans? Ask us.
Are you licensed and insured to work on Cary homes?
Yes. North Carolina licenses us as electrical contractor L.32531, and we are insured for general liability at $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Every permitted Cary job gets inspected, which leaves a record you can show a buyer later.
Could a MacGregor Downs home have aluminum wiring?
It might. The CPSC says aluminum branch wiring shows up in houses built or rewired from about 1965 to the mid-1970s, additions included, and rarely in houses built before 1965. MacGregor Downs dates from that window, so we look at what the circuits are made of before adding load and quote any repair in writing.
Does an EV charger in a Cary garage mean upgrading to 200-amp service?
Not always. Many homes take a Level 2 charger on the service they already have; a load calculation shows that before you spend.
Does your crew reach every corner of Cary, NC?
It does: the historic district, MacGregor Downs, Kildaire Farms, Preston, Weatherstone and Amberly, plus neighboring Apex, Morrisville and Raleigh, all with one licensed crew.
Does my Cary electrical project require a permit?
Usually, yes. Beyond replacing a fixture, switch or outlet with the same kind, Cary work is permitted and inspected before it is closed up. The town spans Wake and Chatham counties, so we confirm the right office for your address, pull the permit, book each inspection and schedule Duke Energy Progress for service changes.
Lost power at my Cary house: do I phone Duke Energy or call an electrician?
Whole block dark? That is the utility, so call Duke Energy Progress, which serves most Cary homes. One November 2023 equipment failure cut power to about 3,395 Cary customers. Only your house out? It is usually the panel or service; we answer 24/7.
