Why Choose Us
✦
Wendell’s
Trusted Electrician
In 2018 I struck out on my own with Electric All Pro; I first picked up the tools back in 2005, working on new homes, commercial jobs and older houses. Homeowners kept describing vague quotes and bloated bills for simple fixes. For Wendell families, on the boulevard or in Wendell Falls, the deal is simple: a written price, clean work, and arriving at the time I give you.
-
License L.32531, Fully Insured
Every Wendell job is done on NC License L.32531 plus full general liability insurance. The paperwork is yours when we finish.
-
Written Prices, No Guesswork
Planned work is priced free and in writing. An unexplained fault starts with an $89 diagnostic. The number we give is the number you pay.
-
Learned From My Father, Who Gave It 40 Years
My father gave this trade over four decades and taught it to me. That care matters in Wendell's century-old houses: each job is done properly the first time.

Wendell Homes
Wendell Houses, Built 1890 to Now
Wendell went from 9,841 people in 2020 to 19,687 in 2025, faster growth than any other town in North Carolina, yet some of its houses go back to about 1890. Each age of house asks for different work.
Wendell Boulevard Historic Homes
Built between about 1890 and 1958
Listed in 2009, the district holds 74 contributing buildings, Colonial Revival above all. Several generations of wiring can share one wall, so each circuit is traced before any new load.
- Circuits identified and tested
- Grounding and bonding updates
- Rewiring where it is due
Moving From 100 to 200 Amps
Meter base, service cable and main panel
The biggest electrical job most Wendell owners ever book. It touches the meter base, the service cable and the main panel, so Wendell Planning, Wake County and Duke Energy each take a part.
- Load calculation before any quote
- Service conductors and meter
- Disconnect and reconnect arranged with Duke
Wendell Falls and Newer Streets
Newer construction, additional electrical loads
Newland bought Wendell Falls in 2013 and planned it inside town limits. Owners mostly add a Level 2 charger, garage circuits or outdoor power, each sized to the service they have.
- Level 2 charger installs
- Circuits for garages, patios and yard power
- Main-panel surge protection

Featured review
“I recently hired this electrical contractor for a home renovation project and was very impressed with their service. They were always on time and professional, and their work was of the highest quality. I highly recommend this contractor for all your electrical needs.”
Lariza Sandoval
“I have worked with Hugo several times and have always been very happy with his responsiveness, communication and quality of work. In an emergency situation (fallen tree pulled the meter box off the house) he arrived very fast, and hand-held me through the whole process of getting the power back on. In non-emergencies he’s very good about scheduling in a reasonable amount of time, and gives good advice on our options. Always the work is good with god attention to detail. I highly recommend Hugo!”
Sarah Ovenall
“Very pleased with Hugo and his team's work. He is always very respectful, professional, and will see a project through from start to finish as he says in his free quotes. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Wendell Electrician Questions
Common questions from Wendell owners: historic-district wiring, service upgrades, chargers, permits and Duke Energy outages.
Still have questions?
Ask the licensed electrician who will be on your job, not an operator.
Real People. Real Answers.
We line up the county and Duke.
Does a licensed, insured crew handle Wendell jobs?
Yes. Our license is NC License L.32531, with general liability coverage written to $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Under its contract with the town, Wake County inspects permitted Wendell jobs, so the work is documented.
Does a Wendell Boulevard house need all-new wiring?
Not usually in one go. Houses in the district date from about 1890 to 1958, and most have had wiring added by different hands since, so we sort out what each run feeds, test the grounding and measure what the service can carry. You get a written estimate, then only the work the house needs.
Will a Wendell Falls home need a bigger service for a new Level 2 charger?
Sometimes not. It comes down to the charger's rating and what the house already draws, and a load calculation settles it.
Which Wendell, NC neighborhoods do you work in?
All of them: Wendell Boulevard, Mattox Street, Old Zebulon Road, downtown and Wendell Falls, and next-door Knightdale, Zebulon and Rolesville; one licensed crew covers each.
Do I need an electrical permit for work in Wendell?
Nearly all work does, except an identical swap. Wendell's Planning Department takes the application in the Wake County Permit Portal, with any town zoning review, and Wake County inspects under contract with the town; a request by 3 p.m. gets the next business day. Filing, fees and each inspection visit are handled by us.
Lost power in Wendell: is it a Duke Energy problem or something in my house?
Duke Energy serves Wendell, so a dark street goes to Duke; one equipment fault once cut power to nearly 3,000 Duke customers in Wendell Falls together. If your neighbors still have lights, the cause is likely your panel or service connection; call us, 24/7.
