Homes in Fuquay-Varina
Fuquay-Varina has the newest housing of any town we serve. Census figures put the median home at 2011, and about 78% were built since 2000. Summerdale is where we’ve worked most, and the rest of our jobs are spread across the town’s newer subdivisions and its older core.
Built since 2000
Most Fuquay-Varina homes are recent construction, and the work in them is mostly additions: EV charger outlets in garages, ceiling fans, outdoor outlets, and dedicated circuits for appliances the builder didn’t plan for.
Older homes near the two downtowns
A small share of homes, about 7%, were built before 1980, including houses around the historic Fuquay and Varina downtowns. These are the homes where we find worn receptacles, loose connections and breakers past their life. In one, a single loose connection in a receptacle was disrupting power across the house.

Bobby was an absolute delight. At 26 years old, he restored my faith in the future of the younger generation. He was technically qualified having 7 years of experience and was educational to me to help understand what was happening with my light switches no longer operating.
I would gladly call back Roy Electric and ask for Bobby for any of my future electrical needs.

Bobby and Daniel arrived on time. They were polite, friendly, professional and provided information. They added an electrical line for bidet in our master bath. The work was excellent and they specifically worked to complete project without wall holes needing to be plastered. They cleaned up behind themselves. Not to mention worked in attic in sweltering heat. Hands down we highly recommend this team. Sharon and Franklin

Spencer did a great job recently at my home mounting a TV and installing 4 ceiling fans and completed the work very quickly and professionally. I highly recommend calling Roy Electric and requesting Spencer for your next project.

Recent work in Fuquay-Varina
Troubleshot garage lights not working & replaced 3 single-pole toggle switches.
Installed a new dedicated 20A circuit for a bidet. We ran a far extended run of 12-2 romex through the attic & were able to snake directly down on both ends with no sheetrock damage.
Wired up a attic exhaust fan.
Added new 15 amp circuit for tankless water heater in garage
Replaced a ring camera flood light and replaced a smoke detector.
Four outdated ceiling fans in a residential space were replaced with modern, efficient models to enhance airflow and style.
Experiencing a tripping breaker can be frustrating, so we promptly diagnosed the issue. After troubleshooting, we identified and replaced a damaged switch, restoring power and ensuring the electrical system operates safely and efficiently.
Questions from Fuquay-Varina homeowners
Can you add power to a shed or detached garage in Fuquay-Varina?
Yes. We run a circuit from the house in buried conduit or cable rated for the job, add a GFCI-protected outlet and lights in the building, and permit it through the town. We've wired a shed and added outside outlets for a Fuquay-Varina homeowner.
Do you install dedicated circuits for bidets, tankless water heaters and dehumidifiers?
Yes. Each of those needs its own protected circuit. In Fuquay-Varina we've run a 20-amp circuit for a bidet through the attic without cutting drywall, and added circuits for a tankless water heater and a dehumidifier.
Who inspects electrical work in Fuquay-Varina?
The Town of Fuquay-Varina's Inspections Department, for homes inside town limits. Homes outside the town's jurisdiction go through Wake County.
I smell something hot near an outlet. What should I do?
Turn off that breaker, stop using the outlet, and call us. In one Fuquay-Varina home a burning smell led us to a receptacle that had been arcing at its terminals. Replacing it promptly kept it from becoming a fire.
