Does Your Durham Home Have the Capacity You Need?

Many properties throughout the Durham area—from historic bungalows near Duke to newer builds in Southpoint—are currently operating on outdated electrical foundations. If you are experiencing persistent breaker trips when your appliances kick on, or if you notice your lights flickering during a heavy storm, your system is likely overtaxed. Older homes still utilizing fuse boxes or aging circuit breakers represent a significant safety risk and often fail to meet modern North Carolina building codes. Upgrading your panel is the most effective way to eliminate burning smells, warm components, and the hazards of overloaded wiring while preparing your home for high-demand additions like EV chargers or modern kitchen renovations.

We called Alex on Friday and he and Juan were able to arrange to be here Monday at 8AM. Our wall oven had a short in the Junction Box behind the microwave which could have caused a fire. They replaced connectors in the box were installed incorrectly. They replaced the box and the connectors so that now it’s safe. Great job! Greg Jensen

I needed an electrician to identify and fix a problem with all of the the switches and receptacles on one of the circuits in my house. I requested an appointment via their web form and received a call <5 minutes later. They offered an appointment for the next morning, with arrival inside a 1-hour window (and arrived right in the middle of that window). They investigated, diagnosed, and fixed the problem in under 10 minutes, and everything's working well now. They also fixed a malfunctioning three-way switch and replaced two breakers that tended to trip too often--for literally a few dollars more more than the quote for the primary work. Both guys were extremely personable and professional, and the visit didn't feel rushed at any point. Alex was very generous in actually showing me the problems and explaining how they needed to be fixed, as well as answering a number of general electrical questions I asked as a fairly new homeowner always trying to learn basic maintenance skills.

Bell Tower recently helped with some 3-way light switch deficiencies we had as well as a broken light switch. Alex and his team were great - they quickly gave us a quote and came out to our house and were very professional. I will definitely use their services again in the future!
