Jim Dickerson: Qualified Electrical Company Serving Charlotte 28215
7832 Pence Rd, Charlotte, NC 28215
Company Background
Founded in 1977 by Charlotte native Jim Dickerson and his wife Judy, Jim Dickerson Company is a family-owned and operated home services provider deeply rooted in the community. Jim learned the plumbing trade from his father-in-law, Chester H. Creed, before starting his own one-truck operation. Over decades of steady growth, driven by customer trust, the company expanded to include full electrical and HVAC divisions, allowing Charlotte families to rely on one trusted name for all their home systems. Today, Jim's daughters, Debbie and Angie, manage the day-to-day operations from their 11,000-square-foot facility, which includes a 7,000-square-foot warehouse stocked with common parts and equipment. This enables their large fleet of service vehicles to provide prompt, same-day service across the Charlotte area, continuing the legacy of reliable, honest work started by a local family.
FAQs
Why can same-day service for plumbing or electrical issues be so important for Charlotte homeowners?
Unexpected issues like a burst pipe, a failed sump pump, or faulty wiring can disrupt daily life and even pose safety risks. Since 1977, our priority has been minimizing that disruption for our neighbors. Operating from an 11,000-square-foot facility with a large on-site warehouse allows us to stock commonly needed parts like water heaters, circuit breakers, and fittings. Combined with our local fleet of service vehicles, this means our technicians often have what they need on hand to diagnose and complete your repair promptly, the same day you call, getting your Charlotte home back to normal quickly and safely.
I've noticed my GFCI outlets in the kitchen or bathroom keep tripping or have failed. Is this a common issue in Charlotte homes, and how do you fix it?
Yes, GFCI outlet failures and nuisance tripping are frequent issues we see in Charlotte-area homes, often due to age, moisture exposure in bathrooms and kitchens, or past DIY electrical work that wasn't up to code. Our electricians start with a thorough inspection to identify the root cause—whether it's a faulty outlet, a wiring problem, or a circuit issue. We then provide a clear explanation and repair it correctly, ensuring your home's safety systems are fully functional. As a family-owned company serving Charlotte since 1977, we're familiar with the electrical nuances of local homes and prioritize safe, reliable fixes that meet current standards.
As a family-run business, how does having plumbing, electrical, and HVAC all under one roof benefit me?
Home systems are interconnected. A plumbing leak can lead to electrical hazards, and an HVAC installation often requires both electrical and plumbing expertise. Being a single, family-owned provider for all three since our expansion in the 1980s means seamless coordination. The team that handles your water heater installation can also manage the necessary electrical connections and venting. You get consistent, honest service from technicians who communicate with each other, often saving you time and simplifying scheduling. For Charlotte families, it's the convenience of one trusted call for comprehensive home care, backed by decades of local experience.
