WHEN TO STOP AND CALL
Move away from active danger
Smoke, fire, active sparking, shock, or damaged service equipment can require emergency help before an electrician enters.
01
Stop resetting the breaker
Heat, smoke, sparking, buzzing, melted devices, and repeated breaker trips deserve prompt professional attention. Do not open a panel, touch damaged equipment, or reset a breaker repeatedly.
02
Service, lighting, circuits, equipment connections, tenant improvements, and maintenance for local offices, shops, and small facilities.

From Raleigh service calls to a full project team
Owner-led since 2012
Theo Bennett spent his early career wiring custom homes and troubleshooting occupied commercial spaces. He started Arcstead in Raleigh to bring planning discipline to service work: labeled panels, documented circuits, realistic project schedules, and a final walkthrough that shows owners which circuits were added, repaired, or relabeled.

Electrical work Raleigh and Cary owners remembered
Electrical troubleshooting
Jordan M. · Raleigh
“Arcstead traced an intermittent kitchen circuit that two other companies could not reproduce. The electrician found heat damage at a loose connection, repaired it, and labeled the panel before leaving.”
Panel upgrade and EV charger
Anita P. · Cary
“Our panel and EV charger project was organized from the first walkthrough. We knew what needed a permit, when power would be off, and exactly how the charger load was calculated.”
Home rewiring
Devon R. · Raleigh
“The crew rewired the upstairs without leaving a trail of wall repairs. Every circuit was tested, labeled, and explained in the final walkthrough.”
Before you request service
Smoke, fire, active sparking, a burning odor, a hot panel or device, shock, or damaged service equipment can be dangerous. Move away, call emergency services when there is immediate risk, and do not touch or open the equipment.
Not always. The assessment should consider service capacity, current loads, charger size, charging habits, and whether load management is practical before recommending a panel change.
When the scope requires them, the proposal should state who obtains the permit, which inspections are expected, how utility coordination works, and what closeout records you receive.
Yes. Share when it happens, which devices are affected, what was running, and whether you noticed heat, noise, smell, or breaker movement. Intermittent faults often require circuit tracing and connection testing rather than a visible failed part.
