Simpson Electric Company: Your Oak Island Electrical Experts Since 1954

Simpson Electric Company is a licensed and insured electrical contracting firm providing essential services to Oak Island, NC, and the surrounding Brunswick County communities. With a history dating back to 1954, the company has established itself as a reliable authority for residential electrical needs. The firm dispatches its crews from its regional base serving the Southport-Oak Island corridor, focusing primarily on residential wiring and repair services for homeowners and builders alike.

Key Electrical Services for Coastal Carolina Homes

Simpson Electric offers a comprehensive suite of services tailored to the specific needs of coastal living. Their work is common in homes throughout the Long Beach and Yaupon Beach areas of Oak Island, as well as in nearby communities like Saint James Plantation and the Ocean Isle Beach dunes.

Electrical Installations & Upgrades

This includes new home wiring for custom builds and panel upgrades to support modern energy demands. These services are vital for older homes in neighborhoods like Boiling Spring Lakes and Carolina Shores, where original electrical systems often require modernization to handle air conditioning loads during humid summer months.

Electrical Repairs & Maintenance

The team handles everything from outlet repair to light fixture troubleshooting. Salt-heavy air common along the Intracoastal Waterway near Shallotte and Sunset Beach can accelerate corrosion on exterior fixtures and outlets, making regular maintenance and prompt repair essential.

Safety & Inspection Services

Simpson Electric performs thorough electrical inspections and installs critical safety devices like GFCI outlets and smoke detectors. This is particularly important for vacation rental properties in Calabash and Southport, which must meet specific local safety codes.

Simpson Electric Company’s primary service zone includes Oak Island, Boiling Spring Lakes, Saint James, and Carolina Shores. The extended service area encompasses Shallotte, Sunset Beach, Southport, Calabash, and Ocean Isle Beach. The team's operational familiarity includes understanding the infrastructure differences between older canal-front properties and newer, elevated construction in flood zones, ensuring work meets all area-specific requirements.
