Randy Dunwody Electric Service, LLC, provides comprehensive electrical and security system services throughout Buncombe, Henderson, and surrounding counties from its operational base in Asheville, North Carolina. Founded in 1986, the business has grown alongside the Asheville metropolitan area, maintaining a focus on both residential and commercial electrical needs. The company operates with a deep understanding of the local built environment and regulatory landscape.

Core Electrical & Security Services for Western NC

The company's services address common needs for homes and businesses across the region. These are grouped into key categories with local relevance.

Electrical System Installation, Repair, & Safety

This includes electric panel installation and repair, wire and outlet work, and light fixture services. These are critical for older homes in neighborhoods like Montford and Kenilworth, where original wiring may need updating, and for newer developments in areas like Biltmore Park. Electrical inspections are vital for ensuring safety and compliance with North Carolina and local Asheville codes.

Generator Solutions for Mountain Weather

Generator installation and repair is a key service due to Western North Carolina's weather. The area experiences heavy seasonal thunderstorms, winter ice storms, and occasional high winds that can lead to extended power outages, particularly in more remote areas like those in the Mills River or Etowah valleys. A reliable backup power source is essential for many residents.

Integrated Security Systems

The company provides security system installation, repair, and monitoring, including CCTV cameras and DVRs. This service meets the needs of both residential clients in various communities and commercial clients in districts like downtown Asheville's retail corridor or the River Arts District.
