Raleigh's Local Electrician
About Us.
Electric All Pro has done licensed electrical work in Raleigh since 2018, from pre-war houses in Oakwood and Five Points to North Hills ranches and newer Brier Creek homes: repairs, service upgrades, chargers and lighting.
Wiring Since 2005.
At Home in Raleigh.
Hugo Balbuena joined the trade in 2005, wiring new construction and commercial jobs. He built Electric All Pro to deal with homeowners face to face: hear the problem out, show what he found, and fix only what the house actually needs.
In Raleigh that means a city or county permit, Duke Energy Progress or Wake Electric, and pre-war services inside the beltline.

Why Choose Us
✦
Raleigh’s
Trusted Electrician
I founded Electric All Pro in 2018. By then I had been wiring new houses, commercial jobs and older homes since 2005, and Raleigh homeowners kept showing me vague estimates and bills that grew once the work began. Pre-war house inside the beltline or newer home in Brier Creek, I keep it simple: a firm price first, a tidy job, and arriving on the day and hour we set.
-
Licensed, Insured, Permitted
We work under NC License L.32531 with $1M/$2M general liability insurance, and each permit is filed with the city or county.
-
Your Price, Agreed First
Installs are priced in writing, free, before we begin. An unknown fault gets an $89 diagnostic first. The agreed price is what you pay.
-
My Father's Trade, Passed Down to Me
My father spent more than 40 years in the trade and taught me. That patience pays off in Raleigh's pre-war houses: each install gets done right the first time.

Raleigh Homes
What We Find Behind Raleigh Walls
Raleigh has more than a century of wiring, and the decade a house went up usually decides the job: cloth-covered runs and small services inside the beltline, panel capacity to the north and west.
Oakwood, Mordecai & Five Points
Small services, no ground to tie into
Built from the 1870s to the 1940s, many houses here still run on sixty- or hundred-amp service, with two-prong outlets and no ground wire to connect them to. We start there.
- Upgraded electrical services
- Grounding added where missing
- Protection the code requires
Midtown's Six Forks Road Ranches
Aluminum branch circuits, 1965 to 1973
Ranches from the sixties and seventies line Six Forks Road, and the ones built from 1965 to 1973 often have aluminum branch circuits. Warm cover plates and breakers that will not stay in are the warning signs.
- Connections on aluminum wiring
- Warm receptacles replaced
- Breakers that will not stay in, replaced and tested
Brier Creek and Its Newer Homes
Capacity to spare, but few dedicated circuits yet
Homes here were built from 2001 on and usually have capacity to spare, but nothing set aside for new loads. A Level 2 charger needs its own circuit, and a portable generator an inlet.
- Level 2 charger circuits
- Whole-home surge protection at the panel
- Portable generator inlets

Featured review
“Hugo upgraded a circuit from 30 to 40 amps and connected a new wall oven. He did an estimate for me on Friday. I was expecting that the service would be done on Friday as well, but he said that just an estimate was scheduled. I explained that I had a deadline for next week, and he agreed to come back out on Saturday to do the work. He came out, was on time and did the work very professionally. Thanks!”
Andre Fredette

Frequently Asked Questions
Raleigh Homeowner Questions
What Raleigh homeowners ask most often: pre-war services, aluminum wiring, chargers, city permits and power outages.
Still have questions?
You talk with the licensed electrician on your job, never a switchboard.
Real People. Real Answers.
Call any time; we answer.
Is Electric All Pro licensed and insured in Raleigh, NC?
Yes. We hold NC electrical contractor License L.32531 and carry general liability insurance of $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate. Permitted Raleigh work is inspected by the city, or by Wake County outside the city limits.
Is my pre-war Raleigh house still on a 60-amp service?
It may be. Many Oakwood, Mordecai and Five Points houses built between the 1870s and the 1940s still run on sixty or hundred amp service, often with two-prong outlets and nothing to ground to. We check what the house draws today, then price a larger service, grounding and the protection the code now asks for, in writing first.
Does a 1960s ranch off Six Forks Road in Raleigh have aluminum wiring?
Ranches built from 1965 to 1973 often do. Warm plates and breakers that will not stay in are the clues, so we check every device.
Which Raleigh neighborhoods and nearby towns do you serve?
All of Raleigh, from Oakwood, Mordecai, Five Points and Hayes Barton to North Hills and Brier Creek, along with Garner, Durham, Wake Forest and the rest of the Triangle.
Will my Raleigh job need a city or county permit?
In most cases, yes; like-for-like swaps are the exception. Inside the city limits, the City of Raleigh issues electrical permits in its Permit and Development Portal, and city inspectors check the rough-in and the final. Outside the city line, Wake County permits and inspects. We file with the right office and book every inspection.
My Raleigh house lost power: is it Duke Energy, Wake Electric or my panel?
A whole dark street is the utility's to fix: Duke Energy Progress for most of Raleigh, or Wake Electric on some northern edges. If yours is the only dark house, the main breaker, the panel or the service connection is the likely cause. Call us; we answer 24/7.
