There are far too many risks involved to not hire a licensed electrician.

At Maguire Electric, we protect our Wilmington, North Carolina, customers by being a licensed electrician. It is also a state requirement that you be licensed to perform any electrical work. It is not a good idea to hire someone who is working without a license as you will have no recourse if they make a mistake that causes a fire or another electrical problem. If there is a problem, it is likely that your insurance company will deny the claim because you didn’t use a licensed electrician.

Licensed Electrician in Wilmington, North Carolina

To become a NC limited licensed electrician, our licensed electrician first had to achieve a minimum of 4 years of electrical experience and then be pre-approved by the NC State Licensing Board before being allowed to take the 6-hour exam. In addition to passing that initial exam, to remain a licensed electrician, there is an annual fee and a requirement to complete eight hours of continuing education each year.

With our licensed electrician, we are able to handle a wide variety of electrical services, including generator installations, pool electrical services, hot tub wiring, lighting installation, upgrading service, smart home installation, and more for both residential and commercial customers.

If you want peace of mind that your residential and commercial electrical installation and repair work is being done properly and safely, it is best to hire a licensed electrician. Reach out to us today to discuss the work you need done and why we believe we are your best option in the area.

Fortunately, we are experts that you can rely on for answers, and we have compiled a list of a few frequently asked questions in hopes that their answers will be informative and useful to you. Check them out and contact us with any additional questions you have for our team.

Is it okay to DIY electrical work?
We understand that many homeowners or business owners may want to tackle small electrical repairs or installations on their own, but we advise against it. You never know what you don’t know until an accident happens or you make an issue worse, so the safe way to go is to hire a certified electrician from the start.
Can I reset my own circuit breaker?
Absolutely. All you need to do is locate your breaker box and look for any switches that are out of place. Simply flip those switches back where they belong.
Is a generator a smart idea for my home?
A generator can be a fantastic addition to your home if you want to have a backup power source during an outage or don’t want to rely on a fickle power grid. We offer whole-house generators and backup generator hookups.
What are signs I need electrical repairs?
Flickering lights, warm and discolored outlets, burning smells, buzzing sounds, and frequent circuit breaker trips are all common signs that it’s time to call an electrician for repairs.
