Electrical Repair and Installation Services
As the Apex community grows, so does the need for professional electrical services, installations, and electrical repairs. Apex homeowners trust our team for high-quality electrical work.
Electrical repair
Our electrical services in Apex include professional electrical repairs. Contact us if a switch isn’t working or you’ve noticed recurring electrical issues.
Emergency electrical service
If you notice signs of an electrical emergency like burning smells, shocks, tripping circuit breakers, sparks, or hot outlets, call us immediately to schedule emergency service.
Circuit breakers and electrical panels
Growing and changing households often require more energy use. We install and repair circuit breakers and electrical panels so they can handle higher electrical loads and safely distribute even power where you need it.
Electrical installation
We provide a wide variety of electrical installation services, helping Wake County homeowners customize their living space.
Electrical wiring
We professionally install electrical wiring for Apex homeowners. This includes replacing older knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Whether you’re remodeling your home or want safer, grounded outlets, you can count on us.
GFCI outlets
Damp areas in your house, like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and crawlspaces, should have GFCI outlets to prevent dangerous electrical shocks. Schedule our licensed electricians to replace regular outlets with these safer options.
Outlets and switches
Do you need a dimmer switch installed in the dining room? Need a new outlet in your bedroom? Call Thermo Direct, and we’ll replace, move, or install outlets to better suit your needs.
EV charger installation
We provide professional EV charger installation, as more Apex residents are choosing electric vehicles. Like some major appliances, installing an EV charger may require a new circuit or an electrical panel upgrade at the same time.
Generator installation
If you’ve been wishing you had backup power, ask about our generator installation. Apex homeowners know spring thunderstorms and occasional winter ice storms can knock out the power. Keep the lights on with a whole-home generator.
Lighting
Our electricians can update or add lighting in your home to better suit your needs and taste. Tell us about your vision, and we’ll make it a reality.
Surge protection
Installing a whole-home surge protector is smart. Installing this device at your main electrical panel helps prevent dangerous voltage spikes from damaging your home electronics, wiring, and appliances.
Ceiling fans
DIY ceiling fan installation can cause the fan to fall and may also lead to North Carolina electrical code violations. Our professional electricians safely install your ceiling fan, so you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze.
What Electrical Problems Should Not Be Ignored?
It’s important to contact an emergency electrician in Apex if you notice electrical problems such as:
- Warm outlets or switches.
- Burning smells.
- Scorch marks.
- Smoke.
- Sparking.
- Electrical shocks or “tingling”.
- Crackling sounds.
- Total power loss.
Why Does a Breaker Keep Tripping?
Circuit breakers trip, or break the electrical circuit to stop electricity from flowing. This is triggered by circuit overloads, ground faults, or a short circuit.
If your breaker keeps tripping after you reset it, a professional needs to evaluate the problem. Keep the power off, and book an emergency repair.
When Does an Electrical Panel Need to Be Upgraded?
Schedule an electrical panel upgrade for your Apex home if the breakers trip frequently, the lights dim when you run appliances, or you’re planning a renovation. An upgrade is also a good idea if the panel is over 25 years old, no longer meets your capacity needs, is a safety hazard, or shows signs of corrosion or moisture.
Electrical Work for Remodels, Additions, and Home Offices
If you’re remodeling or upgrading a room for a home office, let us add electrical convenience with the outlets, lighting, and circuits you need. With professional electrical installation, your Apex room remodel or new home addition will better suit your needs.
What Happens During an Electrical Service Appointment?
When our electricians arrive at your home at the scheduled time, they’ll discuss your concerns, check for safety issues, and inspect the affected components. After the walkthrough, they’ll explain what they found and provide professional recommendations.
If you approve, they’ll get to work and shut off the power to the affected area. Finally, the electrician will restore power, review the completed work, and thoroughly test all components.
Benefits of Professional Electrical Service
The benefits of hiring a licensed electrician for Apex electrical work include:
- Guaranteed safety, with all electrical work done according to code.
- Ensures your home can handle not only your current but also your future power needs.
- Faster diagnoses and fewer issues after the job is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my electrical panel has enough capacity for new equipment?
The only way to be certain if your electrical panel has enough capacity is to hire a professional electrician to perform a load calculation. Our electricians can help you determine whether your electrical panel can handle new equipment.
What factors affect the cost of hiring an electrician in Apex?
The cost of an electrical job depends on the scope of the work, whether you need permits and inspections, the type of work, and more. Call us to speak with an expert about your project, and we’ll give you a better idea of what to expect.
When should an electrical panel be repaired instead of replaced?
Electrical panel repairs are a good idea if the issue is contained to one component, the panel is in good condition, and it meets your current (and future) power needs. Contact our team for an inspection, and we’ll let you know whether you need a repair or a replacement.
