Branley Electrical Service: Powering Elon and the Piedmont Triad Since 1989

Branley Electrical Service is a licensed electrical contractor providing comprehensive electrical solutions for residential, commercial, and institutional clients across Elon, North Carolina, and the greater Piedmont Triad region. Founded in 1989 and based in Elon, this established firm has served the community's evolving electrical needs for over three decades, balancing its work between home services and commercial projects.

Key Services for Piedmont Triad Homes and Businesses

Branley Electrical Service organizes its work into core categories that address common local needs. For residential clients in neighborhoods like Fearrington Village or historic Glen Raven, services often include electric panel upgrades for older homes, outlet installations for kitchen remodels, and whole-home surge protection ahead of summer thunderstorm season.

For commercial and institutional clients, such as those in downtown Burlington or near the University of North Carolina at Greensboro campus, the team handles lighting fixture retrofits for energy savings, generator installations for business continuity, and the complex wiring for restaurant kitchen equipment. A growing service is electric vehicle charging station installation, a response to increasing demand in communities like Summerfield and Hillsborough.
