What we wire, fix and upgrade
Nine kinds of electrical work for homes, builders and businesses from Concord to Lake Norman. Open any one for the details. Every job is priced individually, after we've seen it.
Plenty of older homes around downtown Concord and the Kannapolis mill neighborhoods still run on 60- to 100-amp service, some with fuse boxes or panels that are no longer made. We size the new service with a load calculation, replace the panel and meter base, and schedule the disconnect and reconnect with Duke Energy, City of Concord Electric or your co-op.
- Usually one day on site
- Permit and county inspection included
- Price discussed individually after a site visit
Cabarrus County keeps building, from custom homes outside Mount Pleasant and Midland to new neighborhoods in Harrisburg. We work with builders and owners from plan review through rough-in, inspections and final trim, and we show up when the schedule says we will.
- Scheduled around your builder
- Plan walk before rough-in
- Quoted per plan, discussed with you
Retail, restaurant, office and medical upfits around Concord Mills, Afton Ridge, University City and uptown Charlotte. New circuits, panels, lighting and fire-alarm coordination, worked around your GC's schedule and your opening date.
- Phased to your opening date
- Works directly with your GC
- Bid per drawings, discussed individually
Concord and Mooresville are full of fabrication shops, engine shops and warehouses that need serious power. We run three-phase service, machine drops, welder and compressor circuits and high-bay lighting, and schedule shutdowns so your team keeps working.
- After-hours shutdowns available
- Three-phase, 208/240/480V
- Scoped on site, priced individually
Summer thunderstorms, hurricane remnants and the occasional ice storm knock out power across the Piedmont. We install standby generators with automatic transfer switches, interlock kits for portables, and whole-home surge protection for the lightning season.
- 2–3 days including gas tie-in
- Sized to what must keep running
- Price discussed individually
Level 2 chargers in garages and driveways, and multi-port setups for small businesses and HOAs. We check your panel's capacity first, then give you honest options, including load management if a full upgrade isn't needed.
- Usually one day
- Load check before install
- Quoted for your garage
Pool equipment, bonding, pool and landscape lighting, hot tub circuits, and dock power and boat lifts around Lake Norman. Water and electricity leave no room for shortcuts, so every job gets proper GFCI protection and bonding.
- 1–3 days
- Bonding and GFCI verified
- Price discussed individually
Recessed and under-cabinet lighting, fixtures on high ceilings, porch and landscape lighting at home; LED retrofits, parking lot lights and sign circuits for businesses. We plan the layout with you before anything is cut.
- Half day to a week
- Dimming and controls planned in
- Quoted per layout
Breakers that trip, dead outlets, flickering lights, a burning smell, or a home inspection report that flagged something before closing. We find the cause, explain it in plain words and fix it properly.
- Same or next day when possible
- Written findings for buyers and sellers
- Price discussed before work starts
No price list, on purpose. A panel swap in a 1940s Kannapolis mill house and one in a two-year-old Harrisburg build are different jobs. We come out, look, and then talk price with you one on one.

Why a local contractor beats the alternatives
An honest comparison with a handyman and with the install service from a big-box store.
| What matters | 429 Electrical | Handyman | Big-box installer |
|---|---|---|---|
| NC-licensed electrical contractor | Yes | Usually not | Depends on the subcontractor |
| Permit & county inspection | Handled by us | Often skipped | Sometimes |
| Site visit before pricing | Always, free | Phone guess | Fixed package |
| Who you talk to | The owner, directly | The worker | A call center |
| Follow-up after the job | 7-day follow-up | Hard to reach | Through the store |
Good questions, straight answers
What people usually ask us on the first call.
Because electrical work depends on the building. The age of the house, the size of the service, where the panel sits and what the county requires all change the job. We visit, write up the scope and talk price with you individually. You can see everything we do on our services page.
Yes, whenever the work requires one. We file with Cabarrus County, Mecklenburg County or the local jurisdiction, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector. For service upgrades we coordinate with Duke Energy, City of Concord Electric or your co-op.
Site visits in Concord and the rest of Cabarrus County usually happen within a few business days. For a power loss, a burning smell or storm damage, call us instead of emailing and we'll come the same or next day when a crew is free.
Let us know within 7 days and we come back to address it. The full terms are in our Refund Policy.
Your address, a short description of the job, and if you can, a photo of your panel with the door open. Builders and GCs: send the plans and your schedule.
Yes. We cover all of Cabarrus County and regularly work in Charlotte, Huntersville, Mint Hill, Mooresville, Salisbury, Locust and Indian Trail.
A Concord crew that picks up the phone
429 Electrical Contractors is run by Richard Adamski out of Concord, in the middle of Cabarrus County. We started with service calls for neighbors and grew one referral at a time into homes, new builds, commercial upfits and shop work across the Charlotte region.
The Piedmont keeps us busy. Older mill houses in Kannapolis need panels that can handle modern kitchens and heat pumps. New neighborhoods in Harrisburg need crews that keep pace with builders. Summer storms roll through every afternoon in July, and the fabrication shops around Concord and Mooresville need power that never flinches.
We don't sell packages or post a price list, because no two buildings are the same. We come out, look at what's actually there, and then sit down with you to talk scope and price, one project at a time.
Every job is permitted where the county requires it, inspected, and left clean. That's how we'd want our own houses done.

Heard around Cabarrus County
A few words from homeowners, builders and shops we've worked for.
They ran three-phase to our new fab bay and moved two welders over a weekend. We were back to work Monday. Clear scope, fair price, no surprises.
Our 1950s mill house still had a fuse box. Richard explained every option, we agreed on a price that made sense, and the upgrade was done in a day. Passed inspection the first time.
We've used them on six builds now. They make rough-in dates, keep the site clean and actually answer the phone.
New dock power and lighting for our place on Lake Norman. They took the GFCI and bonding seriously and walked us through everything.
