Key Services for Eastern NC Homes and Businesses

Buck Electric Inc. tailors its wide range of services to address the specific demands of the local built environment and climate. The company’s offerings are grouped into essential categories relevant to area residents and business owners.

Electrical Installation & Upfits: This includes the installation of new wiring and the remodeling of older systems, a common need in the historic homes of Washington's historic district and the expanding subdivisions in Greenville. Services are crucial for updating properties in areas like Cypress Landing or along River Road to meet modern electrical loads and safety standards.

Repair & Emergency Service: The company provides repair services and is on-call for emergencies.
