Since 2011
Being in the service industry for years, questions like this came up with almost everyone we met. No one was ever happy with the last company they used, and they were usually charged an exorbitant amount of money.
We decided there was a better way to do service work. Two local families got together and opened ARC Electric with the idea that clean, courteous, qualified service could be delivered at a fair price.
Our work is our signature.

The ARC Promise
We started ARC because nobody we met was happy with the last electrician they hired. So we set three rules and put them in writing.
No trip charge, no estimate fee, no obligation, anywhere in our service area.
Our electricians are paid the same whether you spend $150 or $15,000, so nobody is selling you a panel you don’t need.
Got a big quote from someone else? We’ll look at it, in person, for free.
ARC Plumbing runs out of the same Fuquay-Varina building with the same rules: free in-home quotes, a written price before work starts, and plumbers who aren’t paid on commission. One number reaches both: (919) 888-3500.
Where we work
Our shop sits on US-401 at the 540 interchange in Fuquay-Varina, which puts every part of Raleigh, from North Hills to Garner, and every town in Wake County inside our everyday range. We don’t sub-contract and we don’t send trucks from out of the area: the electrician at your door works for ARC and lives around here.
We pull permits with the City of Raleigh and Wake County inspections offices every week, so the paperwork is routine for us. Need a permit yourself? Our permits directory lists every office, fee and inspection line for the towns we serve.
Reviews
They came out within a day and fixed the problem ASAP. Thoroughly explained what had happened and the options to repair. No upselling, which I appreciated.
The technicians did very good work, explained any complications and how they would address them, and were happy to stop to answer my questions. They arrived when they said they would, and cleaned up after they were finished.
ARC installed my EV charger and Jacob was very professional and knowledgeable. He offers outstanding customer service. I highly recommend ARC for any project.
Scheduling the estimation and installation was extremely quick! Tav and Sammy arrived, both professional and efficient. Very happy with the job done by ARC and their team.
Brandon was fantastic! He arrived on time and gave me a quote prior to starting the work. He replaced a bad switch and helped me with a problem I was having with a can light.
Could not be more pleased with the speed of the response to our inquiry, the manner in which the installation was done and the price for the service. Would definitely recommend.
