Mayo’s Electrical Service: Wilmington’s Trusted Electricians

Mayo’s Electrical Service is a veteran-owned, locally operated electrical contractor providing comprehensive residential and commercial electrical services to Wilmington, North Carolina, and the surrounding Cape Fear region. With over twenty years of experience specifically within this coastal community, the company has established itself as a reliable authority on the area's unique electrical needs, from historic downtown homes to new developments in Porters Neck.

Key Electrical Services for Wilmington Homes & Businesses

The company's services address common electrical demands influenced by Wilmington's climate and housing stock. These are grouped into core categories based on local application.

Electrical Safety & System Upgrades

This includes electric panel installation and repair, circuit breaker services, and electrical inspections. These services are critical in older Wilmington neighborhoods like Carolina Beach and Myrtle Grove, where original electrical systems in mid-century homes may struggle with modern energy loads, especially during humid summer months when air conditioning use peaks.

Installation, Repair & Modernization

Services here cover everything from wire and outlet installation to light fixture and doorbell repair. For historic homes in the downtown Wilmington district or along Market Street, Mayo’s Electrical Service understands the careful work required to update wiring while preserving character. The company also handles modern installations like electric vehicle charging stations, a growing need in areas like Wrightsville Beach and Landfall.

Reliability & Backup Power Solutions

Generator installation is a key service given Southeastern North Carolina's weather patterns. The region is susceptible to summer thunderstorms and occasional hurricane-season power disruptions, making whole-home generators a priority for residents in Hampstead, Ogden, and other coastal communities.
