"From the very first phone contact until the new service panel and generator back-up switch were installed, Patrick and his crew did everything that they said they would do. My project was quite unique. Patrick took everything we talked about and put together a project plan and pricing. People showed up when they were scheduled. Project completed on time and at the price he quoted. The service Storm Electric provided rates as one of the best service experiences I have received. GREAT JOB PATRICK!"

"It went great!  When I built the house 11 years ago I had a floor outlet placed in the middle of my living room.   Dumb decision.  Not only did I never use it, but it was a trip hazard.  I'm having to replace the carpeting and wanted to be able to carpet over it.  I contacted several electricians from Angies List and Bretco was the first to respond and the first to be able to schedule the work.  They said the workmen would come in the morning and would call me before they left their office to give me a heads up.  It was carefully explained that the travel time for a one way trip would be figured in the cost.  I said I understood.  I knew what their hourly rate was because it was posted and they stated it up front.  When the two wonderful young electricians, Ryan and Paul left their office, they called and were at my home 20 minutes later.  When they came in I explained that I didn't want the wires just capped off, I wanted the PVC container cut down so it was level with the floor, the circuit cut, and the hole filled with concrete.  They didn't know about the concrete and hadn't brought any with them even though that was part of my first contact with the company.  I asked them if they could go buy some and I understood that time would be included in the bill but I wanted it done completely and not have to call someone back to finish the job.  They left and went into town and purchased the concrete and were back in 30 minutes.  I don't know that I could have gotten to that store and back in 30 minutes.  They then pulled the wiring from the wall that went to the floor receptacle.  They checked to make sure both openings on the wall outlet still worked so I could plug in a lamp, but the floor outlet was dead.  They cut down the PVC pipe and when they went to pour the concrete they discovered broken concrete where the builder had tried to do a cheap fix.  They pulled out the broken pieces, poured concrete in to repair it, smoothed the surface so that when I have the new carpeting put in next week it will be perfectly flat and no longer a trip or a fire hazard.  Both men were very knowledgeable, professional, courteous and friendly.  They didn't bat an eye when I asked them to purchase the concrete.  Some workers might have acted as though it were an imposition, but not these two well-mannered young men.  I have some ideas for optional electrical work I want done in the future (install new ceiling fan etc.) and this company will be my first choice.  I hope they send Ryan and Paul again.  When I am having any kind of work done, I want it done correctly rather than fast so it doesn't have to be redone at a later date.  I can't praise this company enough.  I also want to compliment Tina who was as good as her word and called me at 7:30 to let me know the men would be leaving shortly.  If you ever need electrical work, Bretco should be your first choice!

"WB Lightning Rods happened to be in our area 5 years ago when we had a massive lightning strike and damage to our home. They installed the rods within days of the roof repair and were patient with our questions. Fast forward 5 years, after our recent roof replacement, I asked if they could come out and inspect the rods placement. They are extremely busy due to the stormy time of year but were good about contacting me with updates on when theyâ  d be back in the area. They contacted me when they were in a nearby town, set up an appt for a few days later, showed up to the appointment promptly and spent a generous amount of time, materials, and effort making sure the rods were straight and secure again. Very happy with the service, their professionalism, and work. I recommended them to our neighbors and would definitely have them install rods on any future houses."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Winston Salem, NC

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
