Garner’s
Trusted Electrician
In 2018 I launched my own shop, Electric All Pro, after 13 years on new homes, commercial space and older houses. I kept hearing from homeowners about quotes that said little and prices that kept climbing. For Garner, from the downtown blocks to Forest Hills and Aversboro, my promise is plain: the price up front, clean work, and turning up at the agreed time.
-
Licensed, Insured, On Record
We hold NC License L.32531 and $1M/$2M liability insurance, and each Garner permit is recorded in the town's SmartGov portal.
-
You Know the Price Up Front
Planned installs are estimated free, in writing. If the cause is a mystery, our $89 diagnostic goes first. The price we give is the price you pay.
-
Two Generations in the Electrical Trade
My father spent over four decades as an electrician and taught me. That care suits Garner's older downtown wiring: every job comes out right the very first time.

Garner Homes
Garner Before and After the Bypass
Garner got power in 1921. When US 70 moved around downtown in the early 1950s, subdivisions grew north of the bypass. Here is what each era of Garner home tends to need from us.
Downtown Garner Historic District
Wiring added after the walls went up
Some buildings on Garner Road and Main Street are older than Garner's 1921 electric service, so their wiring came later and was changed many times. We map it all before adding.
- Wiring assessment and repairs
- Grounding and bonding updates
- Service and panel review
Forest Hills Mid-Century Ranches
Mid-century panels, today's appliances
Brick ranches from the late 1950s and 1960s filled Forest Hills after the bypass. Before new circuits go in, we check panel space, compatibility and total load, and we never guess the wiring from the build year.
- Panel space and total load checks
- Dedicated circuits and outlets
- Breaker, outlet and switch updates across the house
The Village at Aversboro Ranches
Newer homes with convenience upgrade needs
About 147 brick ranch homes near Lake Benson Park, built from about 2007 to 2013. Most requests here are for brighter lighting, extra outlets and switches placed where you reach.
- Lighting and switch placement
- Added outlets and circuits for new equipment
- Fixture and device installs

Featured review
“Great service! They were able to come out and diagnose a fairly critical problem brought on by an earlier electrician work. Friendly and understanding. He additionally took the time to elucidate all the things so we understood their ideas to repair it. Thank you! Highly recommended.”
Sharron Marienne
“Hugo was awesome, went way beyond what he had to do. Traveled across the triangle to get the right part for installing my generator interlock and outlet. Don't waste your time with anyone else, if you need anything related to getting a generator hooked up, this is your guy.”
Joey Cocciardi
“Had some outlets gone out after a rain storm. Called them for repair. It was extremely professional when they answered the phone. Hugo showed up on time for a free estimate and repaired our outlets. Can't thank him enough. Will definitely book him for future related work.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Garner Electrical Questions
The questions Garner homeowners bring us most: downtown buildings, ranch panels, SmartGov permits, inspections and outages.
Still have questions?
Speak with the licensed electrician doing your job, never a call center.
Real People. Real Answers.
One call reaches the electrician.
Does Electric All Pro hold an NC license and insurance in Garner?
Yes. NC License L.32531 is ours, backed by a general liability policy whose limits are $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Garner jobs we permit go through the town's Inspections Department and stay on Garner's record.
Was my downtown Garner building wired when it was built?
Maybe not. Some Downtown Garner Historic District buildings date from about 1883, and electricity reached Garner in 1921, so their wiring was added later and changed many times. We work out what is original and what was added, then plan new wiring that disturbs the building as little as possible, priced in writing first.
Is aluminum wiring likely in a 1950s or 1960s Forest Hills ranch in Garner?
There is no reason to assume it from the build year alone. We check what is actually inside your walls and panel first.
Which parts of Garner, NC do you cover?
All of them: downtown, Forest Hills and the Village at Aversboro, Garner-address homes in Johnston County such as Cleveland Springs, and Raleigh, Clayton and Fuquay-Varina.
Is a permit required for electrical work in Garner?
Yes, for nearly everything except swapping like for like. The town's Inspections Department at 900 7th Avenue issues it through the SmartGov Permit & Inspection Portal, not Wake County, and paper applications are no longer accepted. There are no same-day inspections, so we file early and book the inspection.
No power at my Garner home: Duke Energy's problem, or one for an electrician?
When your whole street goes dark, that is Duke Energy, which supplies electricity in Garner, so report the outage to them first. When only your house is out, the cause is usually the panel, the main breaker or the service connection. Call us at any hour, 24/7.
