And guess what happened during attic inspection? The crew found pigeons nesting, pecking cable jackets. They rerouted lines, stapled neatly, and vacuumed debris before leaving. From my perspective the extra effort matters. My lights are steady, my wife’s mixer no longer hesitates, and the electrician even fixed a squeaky attic hatch.

To my surprise, what I thought was just a minor flickering light issue turned out to be an outdated wiring problem. They not only fixed it but also checked my entire electrical system to ensure everything was safe. The best part? No mess left behind, and they explained everything in simple terms. If I had to describe their service in one word? Awesome!

New Construction Electrician Service in Greenville, NC

Building a new home or commercial property is a complex process, and the electrical system is one of its most critical components. A new construction electrical installation must be meticulously planned and executed to ensure it can safely support all the power needs of a modern building for decades to come. Our new construction electrical service is a complete, end to end solution designed for general contractors, developers, and individuals building their own custom homes. We have the expertise, manpower, and equipment to handle projects of any scale, from a single family residence to a multi unit commercial building. Our goal is to provide a safe, code compliant, and reliable electrical infrastructure that serves as the backbone of your new property.

Our involvement begins in the pre construction and design phase. We collaborate closely with the architect, builder, and property owner to develop a comprehensive electrical blueprint. This crucial planning stage involves performing a detailed load calculation to determine the correct size for the main electrical service. We also work with you to design the layout of every switch, outlet, light fixture, and dedicated appliance circuit to create a space that is both practical and convenient. A well thought out electrical plan prevents costly changes later in the project and ensures the final system is perfectly tailored to the building’s intended use.

The first major phase of on site work is the “rough in.” This takes place after the building has been framed but before the insulation and drywall are installed. During the rough in, our licensed electricians will install all the wiring, junction boxes, and panelboards that will be hidden within the walls and ceilings. We will mount the boxes for every outlet, switch, and fixture according to the blueprint. We then run all the high quality copper wiring from the main panel location to each of these boxes. We take great care to run our wires neatly and to protect them from potential damage from other construction activities, ensuring a clean and professional installation.

After the drywall is hung and finished, we return for the second phase, known as the “trim out” or “finish.” During this stage, we install all the visible electrical devices that make the system functional. This includes installing all the outlets, light switches, dimmer switches, and GFCIs. We will hang and connect all the interior and exterior light fixtures, including chandeliers, recessed lights, and ceiling fans. We will also make the final connections for major appliances like your stove, dryer, and HVAC system. We complete the trim out by installing the circuit breakers in the main panel and labeling the panel directory clearly.

Throughout the entire process, adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all local amendments is our top priority. As a company whose owner is a member of the NC Electrical Code Committee, we have an expert level understanding of these complex regulations. We ensure that every aspect of the installation, from the size of the service to the placement of smoke detectors, is fully compliant. This commitment to code compliance is essential for passing all required municipal inspections, which are a prerequisite for obtaining a certificate of occupancy for the new building.

We pride ourselves on our professionalism and ability to work effectively as part of a larger construction team. We understand the importance of project timelines and coordination with other trades like plumbers and HVAC technicians. We communicate clearly with the general contractor and other subcontractors to ensure that our work is completed on schedule and does not cause delays in the overall construction process. Our reliability and disciplined work ethic, rooted in our status as a veteran owned business, make us a trusted partner on any job site.

Choosing the right electrical contractor is one of the most important decisions in a new construction project. A faulty electrical installation can lead to years of problems and significant safety hazards. By choosing Whiting Electrical Services, you are choosing a partner committed to the highest standards of quality and safety. We stand behind our work with a Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty on our installations. Build your new Greenville property with the confidence that its electrical system was installed by true professionals.

Common New Construction Electrician Questions

Building a new property involves countless decisions, and the electrical system is one of the most important. Understanding the process and key considerations can help ensure your new home or business is wired for success. Here are answers to common questions about new construction electrical work.

The process of wiring a new house is a multi stage project that is carefully coordinated with the overall construction schedule. It begins long before the first wire is run, during the design and planning phase. As your new construction electrician, we work with you and your builder to create a detailed electrical plan. This involves deciding the location of every outlet, switch, light fixture, and appliance. We perform a load calculation to determine the size of your main electrical service, typically 200 amps for a modern home, and we lay out all the circuit runs on the blueprints. This comprehensive plan serves as the roadmap for the entire installation.

The first physical stage of the wiring process is the “rough in,” which happens after the house has been framed and the roof is on, but before the insulation and drywall are installed. During the rough in, our electricians install the main electrical panel box and run all the electrical cables through the wall studs and ceiling joists to every planned location. We mount the plastic or metal boxes for all the switches, outlets, and fixtures. All the wiring is secured and protected according to code, and the ends are left inside the boxes, ready for the next phase. This is the stage where the entire hidden infrastructure of your electrical system is built.

The final stage is the “trim out” or “finish,” which occurs after the drywall has been installed and painted. Our electricians return to the site to install all the end devices. We connect all the receptacles (outlets), light switches, and dimmer switches. We assemble and hang all of your light fixtures, including ceiling fans, and recessed lighting trims. We install and connect your smoke detectors and make the final connections to your major appliances. Finally, we install the circuit breakers into the main panel, connect all the circuit wires, and create a neat, clear label for your panel directory. The system is then inspected and energized, bringing your new home to life.

Planning the electrical layout for your new home is an exciting process where you get to customize the functionality of every room. The best approach is to think through how you will live in and use each individual space. Go room by room with your blueprints and visualize your daily routines. In the kitchen, for example, think about where you will place your coffee maker, toaster, and stand mixer, and make sure there are plenty of outlets on the countertops in those areas. Consider adding a dedicated circuit for a microwave in the pantry or an outlet inside a cabinet for charging devices out of sight. Plan for pendant lights over an island and ample recessed and under cabinet lighting for tasks.

In the living room and bedrooms, think about furniture placement. You do not want all your outlets to end up hidden behind a large sofa or bed. Place outlets strategically to power lamps, entertainment centers, and bedside tables. Consider adding a switched outlet in each room so you can turn on a lamp with a wall switch as you enter. Think about future needs as well. Adding an extra outlet in a closet for a cordless vacuum charger or an outlet on the mantel for holiday decorations is much easier and cheaper to do during construction than later on. Do not forget about outdoor needs, such as outlets for landscape lighting, holiday displays, or power tools.

While you should have a good idea of what you want, you do not have to do this planning alone. A key service provided by a good new construction electrician like Whiting Electrical Services is an electrical design consultation. We can walk through the blueprints with you and offer professional advice and suggestions based on our extensive experience. We can point out common mistakes to avoid, suggest convenient features you may not have considered, and ensure your final plan is not only practical but also fully compliant with all electrical codes. This collaborative approach ensures your new home’s electrical system is perfectly tailored to your lifestyle.

An electrical rough in inspection is a mandatory inspection that is performed by a licensed inspector from your local municipal building department. This inspection occurs after the entire electrical rough in phase is complete but before any insulation or drywall is installed. The purpose of the inspection is to allow the inspector to see and verify the quality and code compliance of all the hidden wiring and components of the electrical system. The inspector will walk through the entire building and check numerous aspects of the installation to ensure it meets the safety standards of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

During the rough in inspection, the inspector will look at several key things. They will check to see that the electrical boxes are mounted securely and are the correct type and size for their location and purpose. They will verify that the electrical cables are run and secured properly, with the correct number of staples and protection plates where the wires pass through wooden studs. The inspector will also check the gauge of the wire being used for each circuit to ensure it is correctly sized for the circuit breaker it will eventually be connected to. They will also inspect the main electrical panel’s installation and the grounding system.

Passing the rough in inspection is a critical milestone in the construction process. You cannot proceed with installing insulation and drywall until the electrical rough in has been approved by the inspector. If the inspector finds any code violations, they will issue a correction notice, and the electrician must fix the issues before calling for a reinspection. This process ensures that the hidden parts of your electrical system, which are arguably the most important for fire safety, are installed correctly. At Whiting Electrical Services, our deep knowledge of the code ensures our installations are done right the first time, leading to smooth and successful inspections.

Making changes to the electrical plan after the rough in phase is complete is possible, but it is generally discouraged because it can be significantly more difficult and expensive than making those decisions during the initial planning phase. Once the rough in is done, all the wires have been run and secured inside the walls. If you decide at this point that you want to move a light switch to a different wall or add a few more outlets in the living room, it is no longer a simple task. The electrician will have to pull out the old wires and fish new ones through the walls to the new locations, which is much more time consuming.

The cost of post rough in changes can add up quickly. You will be charged for the additional labor required to make the changes, as well as any extra materials. These changes can also cause delays in the overall construction schedule. If the electrical work has to be redone, it may delay the electrical inspection, which in turn can hold up the installation of the insulation and drywall, creating a domino effect that impacts the entire project timeline. This is why it is so important to spend ample time on the initial electrical planning to get it right from the start.

While minor changes may be accommodated, it is best to avoid them if possible. The ideal time to make any and all changes to your electrical layout is during the design phase, before the rough in work even begins. Take the time to walk through the framed house before the electricians start and visualize everything one last time. This is your last easy chance to move an outlet or add a light. If a change is absolutely necessary after the rough in, be sure to communicate it to your general contractor and Whiting Electrical Services as soon as possible, and be prepared for the change order that will detail the additional costs and potential delays.

As professional licensed electricians, we strictly follow the most current version of the National Electrical Code (NEC), which is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation, and inspection in the United States. The NEC is not a law itself, but it is the standard that is adopted into law by states and local municipalities, including those in and around Greenville, NC. This comprehensive document is updated every three years to keep pace with new technologies and safety practices. Our commitment to ongoing education ensures we are always working with the latest code requirements to provide the safest possible installation for your new property.

In addition to the NEC, we also adhere to all state and local amendments to the code. Local building authorities often have specific additional requirements that are tailored to the region’s climate, construction practices, and other local factors. We maintain an excellent working relationship with the local building and inspection departments, and we are intimately familiar with their specific regulations and interpretations of the code. This ensures that every aspect of our work, from the size of your service to the type of fasteners we use, will meet or exceed the standards that local inspectors require for approval.

Our owner, Brad Whiting, is an active member of the NC Electrical Code Committee, which gives our company an unparalleled level of expertise and insight into the code. This direct involvement means we are not just following the rules; we are part of the community of experts that helps to shape and refine them for the safety of the public. When you hire Whiting Electrical Services, you can be absolutely confident that your new home’s electrical system is not only being built with the highest quality materials and workmanship but also with an expert level of code knowledge that guarantees a safe, compliant, and reliable result.

The number of outlets that should be in a room is determined by a combination of the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and your own practical needs. The NEC sets the minimum safety standard to ensure you do not have to rely on extension cords. The primary rule for general living spaces like living rooms, family rooms, and bedrooms is the “6 foot / 12 foot” rule. This rule states that no point along any wall space shall be more than six feet from a receptacle outlet. This means you must have an outlet placed within six feet of a doorway, and then subsequent outlets must be placed no more than twelve feet apart along any continuous wall.

This code requirement ensures that any lamp or appliance with a standard six foot cord can be plugged in without needing an extension cord, which can be a tripping and fire hazard. For kitchen countertops, the rules are even stricter. The NEC requires an outlet to be placed so that no point along the counter wall is more than 24 inches from an outlet. This means you need an outlet every four feet along your countertops. In addition to these minimums, you should also plan for outlets based on your lifestyle. For example, you may want extra outlets near your desk for a computer and printer, or behind your nightstands for lamps and phone chargers.

While the code sets the minimum, we often recommend installing more outlets than the code requires for modern convenience. It is always better to have too many outlets than not enough. Adding an extra outlet or two during the new construction phase is very inexpensive, while adding one later to a finished wall is a much more involved and costly project. During our electrical design consultation, the team at Whiting Electrical Services will review the code requirements with you and then discuss your specific needs for each room to help you create a custom outlet layout that is both safe and perfectly suited to how you live.

An electrical permit and the subsequent inspections are critically important because they are the official system of checks and balances that ensures your new home is wired safely and to the current code standards. The permit, issued by your local building department, is the formal authorization for the electrical work to begin. It creates an official record of the project and triggers the involvement of the municipal electrical inspector. This inspector is an independent, third party expert whose sole job is to verify that the electrical contractor’s work is safe and compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC). This process is designed to protect you, the homeowner, from unsafe or shoddy workmanship.

The inspections, which occur at both the rough in and the final stages, are your best assurance that the hidden electrical system within your walls is free from fire and shock hazards. The inspector’s unbiased review confirms that the electrician has used the correct materials, followed proper installation techniques, and adhered to all life safety requirements. Passing these inspections is not just a formality; it is a prerequisite for the general contractor to obtain the Certificate of Occupancy, which is the legal document that allows you to move into your new home. Without passed electrical inspections, the home is not considered legally habitable.

For a homeowner, a permitted and inspected job provides invaluable long term protection. It gives you peace of mind knowing that your home’s electrical system was built to a recognized safety standard. It is also crucial for your homeowner’s insurance policy, as most insurers will not cover damages resulting from unpermitted electrical work. Finally, the official record of a passed inspection is a vital document when you eventually sell your home, as it proves to potential buyers that the work was done professionally and legally. Whiting Electrical Services handles the entire permit and inspection process for every new construction project, ensuring your investment is safe, compliant, and properly documented.
