Key Electrical Services for Raleigh Homes

Kunda Electrical offers a full range of services tailored to the needs of local homeowners. These are grouped into key categories based on common local applications.

Electrical Safety & Power Systems

This includes circuit breaker and electric panel installation and repair. These services are critical in older Raleigh neighborhoods like Hayes Barton and Oakwood, where original electrical systems in historic homes may need upgrading to handle modern appliance loads and ensure safety.

Lighting & Electrical Fixtures

The company handles light fixture, outdoor lighting, switch, and outlet installation and repair. With Raleigh's vibrant outdoor living culture, proper outdoor lighting for decks and gardens in areas like North Hills or around Lake Johnson is a common request. Fixture updates are also popular in newer developments in Morrisville and Apex.

General Wiring & Specialty Installations

This covers general wire and electric repair, along with specialized services like doorbell work and electric vehicle (EV) charging station installation. As EV ownership grows in tech-centric areas near Research Triangle Park, home charging station installation has become an increasingly important service for local electricians.

Detailed Areas Served

Kunda Electrical's primary service zone includes core Raleigh neighborhoods such as Downtown, North Hills, Cameron Village, Hayes Barton, Oakwood, and Mordecai. The extended service area covers over 60 communities across the Triangle and eastern North Carolina, including Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Garner, Clayton, and rolesville. The team's operational familiarity includes understanding the mix of historic bungalows, mid-century ranches, and new construction found throughout these diverse areas.

Company History & Local Roots

Kunda Electrical was founded by Alieu Sanneh, a Raleigh resident since 2000. After working in the electrical field since 2010, Sanneh obtained his North Carolina electrical license in December 2023 and established the company in January 2024. The name "Kunda," meaning "family" in the Mandinka language, reflects the business's core values. This milestone represents a long-held dream realized within the local community the owner has called home for over two decades.

Leadership & Team

Owner Alieu Sanneh is a licensed electrician in the state of North Carolina. A family man originally from The Gambia in West Africa, he has been a resident of Raleigh since 2000, providing him with extensive local knowledge. Prior to his 14-year career in the electrical industry, he worked in healthcare for 14 years, bringing a focus on safety and care to his work. Kunda Electrical operates as a family-owned business committed to serving local families.

Community-Specific Specializations

• Addressing electrical upgrades in Raleigh's prevalent older housing stock, including homes built in the 1950s-1970s common in neighborhoods like Cameron Village and parts of Cary.

• Navigating local permit processes with Raleigh, Wake County, and other municipal inspection departments efficiently.
• Offering responsive service adapted to local geography, including traffic patterns around major corridors like US-1, I-40, and the I-440 Beltline.
