Urgent Needs: Emergency Electrical Service

From your roof to your sidewalk, we have a cleaning solution to dramatically boost your curb appeal and protect your investment.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency electrical services?

Yes. Electrical emergencies don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you have an urgent issue like sparking outlets, a smoking electrical panel, or a sudden power outage not related to the utility company, call us immediately. Your safety is our number one priority.

What is considered an electrical emergency?

You should call for emergency service immediately if you experience any of the following:

* Sparks, smoke, or strange smells coming from outlets, switches, or your breaker panel.

* A loud buzzing sound from your electrical panel.

* Total or partial power loss that your neighbors aren't experiencing.

* An electric shock from an appliance, switch, or outlet.

* Fallen power lines on your property (stay far away and call us and your utility company).

When in doubt, call us. It’s always better to be safe.

The Difference: Why Your Neighbors Choose Us

From your roof to your sidewalk, we have a cleaning solution to dramatically boost your curb appeal and protect your investment.

Are you licensed and insured?

100%. Your peace of mind is non-negotiable.** We are fully licensed to operate in North Carolina and carry comprehensive insurance. Hiring an unlicensed electrician is a massive risk to your property and safety—a risk you'll never take with Aubrey Guthrie Electrical.

You mention "craftsmanship." What does that actually mean?

It's the core of our business. Craftsmanship means:

* We Don't Cut Corners. Ever. We use high-quality materials and adhere to the highest safety standards, not just the minimum code requirements.

* Clean & Meticulous Work. We treat your home like our own, leaving the workspace cleaner than we found it. Our wiring is neat and organized, not a "rat's nest."

* Long-Term Solutions. We don't do "quick fixes" that will fail in six months. We diagnose the root cause of the problem and provide a permanent, reliable solution.

Why should I choose a local electrician over a big, national chain?

Because we're your neighbors. We live, work, and raise our families here in the Carteret and Craven County communities. Our reputation is everything. When you call us, you're not getting a random subcontractor—you're getting a dedicated local expert who is accountable to you and invested in our community.
