Electrician for Durham Homes
About Us.
Electric All Pro, in business since 2018, brings a licensed North Carolina electrical crew to Durham homes from Golden Belt mill houses to Hope Valley and Woodcroft, for panels, lighting, repairs and EV chargers.
Wiring Homes Since 2005.
At Work in Durham.
Hugo Balbuena began wiring in 2005, on new builds and office sites. Electric All Pro grew out of his wish to sit down with Durham homeowners: he asks questions first, explains what the walls and panel reveal, and fixes only what you need.
In Durham that means Duke Energy Carolinas, one City-County permit office, and wiring added to century-old mill houses.

Why Choose Us
✦
Durham’s
Trusted Electrician
In 2018 I set out on my own as Electric All Pro, with new homes, offices and older houses behind me since 2005. Time and again, homeowners told me about quotes that explained nothing and small repairs priced far too high. In Durham, from Golden Belt and Trinity Park to Hope Valley and Woodcroft, I work plainly: a clear price up front, neat work, and getting there when I said.
-
State Licensed and Fully Insured
Durham permits list NC License L.32531; $1M/$2M of liability insurance covers each job. The inspection record backs our word.
-
Written Prices, No Surprises
Lighting, panels and chargers get a free written price. Trouble without a known cause begins with an $89 diagnostic. No add-ons later.
-
My Father's 40-Plus Years, Passed On to Me
My father taught me the trade; he had worked in it for over 40 years. Durham's mill-era houses reward that kind of care: each install goes in right the first time.

Durham Homes
Durham Houses, Mill Era to Mid-Century
Durham's older neighborhoods went up over about eighty years, and each era wired its houses its own way. Below is what we usually find in each part of the city and the work it tends to lead to.
Mill Houses of Old West Durham
Wiring that arrived after the houses
Golden Belt preserves 109 workers' houses from 1900 to 1902, and West Durham grew around Erwin Cotton Mills. Power came after construction, so we map every circuit before work.
- Circuit identification first
- Repairs where wiring eras meet
- Service and panel review
Trinity Park's Victorian Streets
When an old 100-amp service falls behind
Victorian houses and bungalows here span about eight decades. In one, lights flickered across the house; the cause was an aging 100-amp system, not the utility. A Square D 200-amp panel and meter fixed it.
- 100- to 200-amp service upgrades
- Flicker and dimming diagnosis
- Panel and meter replaced together, inspected
Hope Valley to Northgate Park
Older rooms with expanding lighting demands
Hope Valley dates from 1925 to 1974 and Northgate Park mostly from the 1940s. Finished ceilings shape the route: in Hope Valley we added recessed lights, no drywall cut.
- Recessed lighting retrofits
- Wire fished from the fan and existing holes
- No drywall patches

Recessed Lights Without Drywall Cuts
Hope Valley, Durham, NC
Installed Halo recessed lights by reusing existing holes and running wire in parallel from the ceiling fan. This avoided cutting new drywall, so the customer did not need to hire a repair person or painter.

200-Amp Square D Homeline Panel Upgrade
Trinity Park, Durham, NC
Flickering lights throughout this Trinity Park, Durham home were traced to its aging 100-amp system, not the utility supply, so we installed a Square D Homeline 200-amp panel and meter. Inspected by the city, the installation now gives the entire house 200-amp capacity.

Featured review
“The kitchen of my house got renovated recently; hence there was some electrical work to be done. While I was wondering from whom to get the work done, I got to know about Electric All-Pro. I called them and they instantly sent a skilled electrician to my doorstep. They were very much serious about their job and carried out all the tasks promptly. They even cleaned the floor before leaving. So that was a customer delight experience for me. I can say that I am extremely happy with the whole process. I will call them yet again for any electrical work in my house.”
Diane Hall
“This is the second time we are using Electric All PRO. Each time it just gets better! It was very easy to work with our technician Hugo: he did a fantastic job replacing our lights, fixing a box of receptacles, including floodlights in our backyard and fixing sensors in lights that are already in place. We will probably call Morrisville NC Electric All PRO again!”
Rosie Wadley
“There were several works to be done. The electrician, from the Electric All-Pro, did many electrical functions at my house. Installing the ceiling fan in the balcony, installation of the transfer switch for our generator, installing three-prong outlets in place of two-prong outlets, connecting the doorbell to the circuit and many more small works were done. The electrician was very professional in his work. He made us understand everything he did to make us agree at his work. He was very friendly. He seemed to have the proper knowledge of his work. We were satisfied with his work. Also, we can wait no more to call him again. We saved a lot of money.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical Questions From Durham
What Durham homeowners ask before they call: mill-house wiring, 200-amp service, LDO permits, outages and which utility you have.
Still have questions?
Your questions go to the licensed electrician on the job, not a script.
Real People. Real Answers.
Ask about historic districts too.
Do you hold a state license and insurance for Durham work?
Yes. We operate under NC License L.32531, carrying liability coverage that reaches $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate. City-County Building & Safety inspects each permitted Durham job, so it stays on record with them.
How do you start on a West Durham or Golden Belt mill house?
By mapping it. Electricity reached these houses after they were built and was added to many times, so we learn what each circuit powers, test the grounding on any two-prong runs and work out the load the service can take. Only then do we price the repairs, in writing, and fix what needs it.
Does my Trinity Park house need 200 amps for a charger or new range?
Not necessarily. One Trinity Park home we upgraded had an aging 100-amp system; a load check tells us about yours.
Which Durham neighborhoods and ZIP codes do you cover?
All of them, from Old West Durham, Golden Belt and Trinity Park to Northgate Park, Hope Valley and Woodcroft, plus Raleigh, Cary and Morrisville, with one licensed crew.
Who issues electrical permits in Durham, and when?
Yes, for most jobs other than a like-for-like replacement of a fixture, receptacle or switch. Durham's joint City-County Building & Safety Department issues the permit in its Land Development Office portal and inspects for the city and county, offering next-business-day inspections. We take care of the filing and book the visit.
Power out at my Durham home: call Duke Energy Carolinas, a co-op or you?
If your neighbors are dark too, report it to the utility: inside the city that is Duke Energy Carolinas, with Piedmont EMC in the far north and Wake EMC near the Wake County line. Block still lit? The trouble is likely your panel or meter connection, so call us 24/7.
