| What Matters to You | Caudill’s Electric | Other Electricians |
|---|---|---|
| Local Knowledge | Second-generation, family-owned business serving Winston-Salem since 1973. We know the homes, the neighborhoods, and the code requirements here. | Many contractors serve a broad regional area with little knowledge of local building codes or neighborhood-specific wiring conditions. |
| Licensed & Insured | All work is performed by licensed, insured electricians, protecting your family and your home from start to finish. | Unlicensed or underinsured contractors are more common than homeowners realize, leaving them exposed if something goes wrong. |
| Accurate Estimates | You get a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, with no surprise charges when the job is done. | Ballpark estimates that grow once work is underway are a frequent complaint with general electrical contractors. |
| Quality of Work | We use quality parts and components on every job, then verify wiring, confirm box ratings, and test every fixture before we leave. | Low-quality parts and rushed installs can leave you with flickering lights, tripped breakers, or code violations down the road. |
| Reputation | 4.9-star rating across 250+ Google reviews from local homeowners and businesses who’ve seen the work firsthand. | Newer or less established contractors may have limited reviews and no proven track record in your area. |
| Cleanup & Respect for Your Home | We treat your home the way we’d want ours treated: clean work and no mess left behind. | Some contractors leave drywall dust, wire scraps, or damage from improper mounting for you to deal with after they’re gone. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to replace a light fixture, or can I do it myself?
It depends on the situation. A straight swap (same fixture type, same location, existing wiring in good shape) is something experienced DIYers can manage. But if you’re dealing with outdated wiring, an undersized or wrong-type electrical box, a fixture heavier than what’s currently mounted, or any new wiring runs, you need a licensed electrician. Mistakes in any of those areas can result in a failed inspection, a tripped breaker, or a fire hazard.
What happens if my wiring or electrical box isn’t compatible with my new fixture?
We assess compatibility before anything gets mounted. If your box isn’t rated for the fixture’s weight, we replace it with one that is. If the wiring is outdated or insufficient, we’ll let you know what needs to be addressed and why before we proceed.
Can you install a ceiling fan where there’s currently just a light fixture?
Yes, but it’s not a direct swap. Standard electrical boxes aren’t rated to support a ceiling fan’s weight and movement. We replace the existing box with a fan-rated box, confirm the wiring is appropriate, and then install the fan. Skipping the box swap is one of the most common reasons ceiling fans wobble or fail prematurely.
What’s involved in installing a chandelier or heavy pendant fixture?
Heavier fixtures require a box rated for the additional weight, as standard boxes typically support up to 50 pounds, and larger chandeliers can exceed that. We verify your box rating, install a fan-rated or specialty support brace if needed, confirm your wiring can handle the load, and mount the fixture securely. We also make sure the canopy is properly seated and the fixture is level before we leave.
Can you add a dimmer switch when you install a new fixture?
Yes, and it’s worth doing at the same time. We verify that your new fixture is dimmer-compatible, check your wiring and box size, and install the dimmer correctly so you don’t end up with flickering lights or an overheating switch. Not all fixtures work with all dimmers, so confirming compatibility upfront saves problems later.
