Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the company operates as a certified Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).

Key Services for Charlotte-Area Homes and Businesses

Ascendance Electric’s services address the specific needs of the region's built environment. Their work is common in local commercial districts like South End and the redeveloping areas along North Tryon Street, as well as in residential neighborhoods with varying construction eras.

Electrical Panel & System Upgrades: This includes circuit breaker and electric panel installation and repair. These services are critical for older homes in neighborhoods like Plaza Midwood and Dilworth, where original electrical systems may be insufficient for modern appliance loads, and for supporting the power demands of new commercial builds in the University City area.

Installation & Repair Services: The company handles comprehensive electrical work, from wire and outlet installation to light fixture and doorbell repair. This covers routine maintenance for historic bungalows in NoDa, outdoor lighting for properties in Lake Norman communities, and specialty receptacle installations for medical offices or tech firms.

EV Charger & Generator Solutions: Ascendance Electric installs and repairs electric vehicle charging stations and generators. Demand for EV chargers has grown with Charlotte's sustainability initiatives and is common in new developments from Ballantyne to Davidson. Standby generator installation provides backup power, a valuable service given the region's susceptibility to summer thunderstorms and occasional winter ice storms that can lead to power outages.

Ascendance Electric’s primary service zone within the Charlotte metro includes neighborhoods such as SouthPark, Myers Park, Wesley Heights, and Eastover. Their extended service area covers a wide swath of the Piedmont, including municipalities like Huntersville, Kannapolis, Salisbury, Lexington, and Asheboro, as well as communities in Rowan, Stanly, and Davidson counties such as China Grove, Locust, and Denton.

The team's operational experience across this diverse territory provides familiarity with different infrastructure, from the mid-century commercial buildings in Salisbury to newer residential developments around Lake Norman. Their knowledge extends to coordinating with utility providers like Duke Energy and navigating permit processes with local offices throughout the region.
