Our technicians specialize in working with the historical homes seen in Downtown Kernersville, taking special care to preserve the integrity of these older structures while also outfitting them with modern electrical systems. We can rewire antique fixtures, upgrade outdated know-and-tube wiring, and help lower the high electrical bills caused by the older systems.
Homes built in the 2000s such as those along Hopkins Road heading to Talley’s Crossing, or near Union Cross and Sedge Garden, often have electrical panels nearing their capacity, which can struggle to meet the demands of modern appliances, home offices, and smart home technology. These homes may also face issues such as outdated ACFI and GFCI protection, limited surge protection, and wear on wiring and outlets due to regular use over the years.
Suppose you live in Welden Village, Caleb’s Creek, Glennview, or another one of Kernersville’s recent developments. In that case, you may have found that your home has minor installation errors due to the speed at which these developments were built and the contractors’ pressure to meet deadlines. These installation errors are often the underlying cause of other issues, which our team can identify and correct.

What to Consider: Choosing the Best Electrician
There are so many factors to consider when deciding which electrician in your area is the best fit for your needs, that it can be difficult to narrow down what really matters.
Here are a few important considerations to think about when making your decision:
Licensing & Certifications
It’s important to verify that any electrician you’re considering is licensed by the local state board.
In North Carolina, the North Carolina Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors (NCBEEC) is responsible for issuing state licenses to all qualifying electricians. An NC state license ensures that they have met the necessary training and examination requirements set out by the board.
Some of those requirements that ensure licensed electricians provide quality service include:
- Two years of experience
- 8,000 hours of on-the-job training
- Passed a two-part exam
- Proof of liability insurance coverage
| Why Caudill’s |
| We’re licensed by the NCBEEC, which means we’ve met North Carolina’s highest standards for training, experience, and insurance. When you work with us, you can trust that our work is safe, compliant, and reliable. |
Experience
Whether you’re building a brand new home or making updates to an existing electrical system, it’s important to find an electrician that has experience doing the type of work you’re in need of.
It’s also important to consider that oftentimes as a homeowner, you don’t have all the answers. For example – You know that your electric bill seems higher than it should based on the area you live in and the energy you use, but you likely don’t know why. An experienced electrician can inspect the current wiring of your home, assess your panel and other factors that impact your electricity usage and provide knowledgeable insight into why that’s the case.
Choosing an electrician that has a great deal of first hand experience can be the difference between putting a band-aid on an issue and truly solving it.
| Why Caudill’s |
| With decades of hands-on experience, we know how to handle any electrical issue you may face. Whether you’re trying to lower your energy bills, upgrade outdated panels, or troubleshoot a mysterious electrical problem, we’ll find the root cause and provide a lasting solution. |
Reputation & Customer Reviews
Reading reviews is absolutely critical in making an informed decision. While a company’s website can tell you about the services they offer, reviews provide a far higher level of insight to help you determine if they align with what you’re looking for. Reviews often highlight positive and negative experiences that previous customers have had, providing specific details about what was done well and what they were unsatisfied with.
Here are some tips when reading online reviews for local electricians:
- Look for patterns in reviews, whether positive or negative.
- Look for reviews that specifically highlight the services you need – It can be very difficult to compare experiences if totally different services are provided.
- Take note of reviews that mention timeliness – whether they arrived on time, if the work was completed within the estimated time, etc.
- Pay attention to any specific technicians or team members mentioned.
- Look for what customers say about their pricing transparency.
| Why Caudill’s |
| Our customers are at the heart of what we do. We’re proud to have earned glowing reviews (4.9 stars on Google) for our professionalism, responsiveness, and the quality of our work. From timeliness to fair pricing, our reputation speaks for itself. |
Availability
Especially if you’re having urgent or time-sensitive electrical issues, availability will play a big role in your choice. Some electricians advertise fast response times due to having larger teams, while others pride themselves on smaller teams and more personalized service (which naturally leads to longer wait times in certain situations).
It’s also important to inquire about emergency services and night/weekend availability in the event that you have an urgent issue in the middle of the night or during a bad storm.
| Why Caudill’s |
| We know electrical problems can’t wait. That’s why we’re available for emergency services, nights, and weekends. When you need us, we’ll be there to ensure your safety and restore your power quickly. |
Pricing
Arguably the most important factor for some, pricing will heavily affect which electrician you choose. When doing your research, request detailed estimates so you can compare pricing and have a clear understanding of what you would get for the price charged. Be sure to ask about hidden fees and how pricing is handled if something unexpected is found. It’s important to make sure that anything outside of the original scope of work is approved by you first to make sure that you don’t end up with an expensive bill that you weren’t expecting.
| Why Caudill’s |
| We believe in fair, transparent pricing. Our estimates are detailed and clear, so you know exactly what to expect. If anything unexpected comes up, we’ll discuss it with you first—no surprises, no hidden fees. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I maintain my home’s electrical system to prevent issues?
Some things you can do to maintain your home’s electrical system include regularly inspecting your wiring and outlets, keeping all electrical equipment away from moisture, and making sure to avoid overloading the circuits in your home. You may also want to consider getting a professional electrical inspection annually so that any issues that may be present can be identified early to avoid larger problems.
How can I make my home more energy efficient?
There are many updates that can be made to your home in order to make it more energy efficient. These changes include upgrading all traditional incandescent bulbs to LED bulbs, upgrading to energy-efficient appliances with the energy star labels, unplugging electronics when they’re not being used, and using powerstips for as many electronics as possible so that you can easily turn things off to help save electricity.
What should I do if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
Start by turning off the breaker completely. Turn it back on and see if the issue resolved itself. If not, try to identify what appliance or electronic is causing the issue so that you can identify which circuit is overloaded and move things to a different one. If you’re unable to identify which circuit is causing the issue, it’s best to contact a professional electrician to diagnose the issue.
