Electricians Serving the Asheville Area
20 local businesses listed
A lot of Asheville’s housing stock predates the electrical demands we now put on it. Homes in Montford, West Asheville, and Kenilworth were wired for a couple of lamps and a radio, and plenty still have 60- or 100-amp service, ungrounded outlets, or the occasional stretch of cloth-wrapped wiring behind a wall. If you’re adding a heat pump, an EV charger, or a kitchen full of modern appliances, the panel is usually the first thing that has to change.
The electricians listed here work across Asheville and out into Weaverville, Arden, Fairview, and Mills River. Common local jobs include service upgrades, whole-house generator installs after a stretch of outages, knob-and-tube replacement in older homes, and rewiring during renovations.
Electrical work in Buncombe County requires a permit and inspection for anything beyond basic repairs, and a licensed contractor will pull it as a matter of course. If someone offers to skip that step to save you money, that’s your answer — you can verify any electrical contractor’s license through the NC State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors.

Carolina Outdoor Lighting
Carolina Outdoor Lighting is a Leicester company that designs and installs low-voltage outdoor lighting systems — landscape, architectural, and path lighting — along with outdoor audio. The business is built around design rather than fixture-swapping: they lay out the scheme, install it, then maintain and upgrade systems over time as fixtures age or the landscape grows in. That maintenance side is worth knowing about, since most outdoor lighting problems a few years after install are transformer, connection, or overgrowth issues rather than fixture failures. They cover 15 Western North Carolina counties, including Buncombe, Henderson, and Transylvania.

Farmer Electric
Farmer Electric is an owner-operated residential shop on Riddle Drive in Waynesville, covering Haywood County and Western North Carolina. Kenneth Farmer runs every job in house rather than handing it to subcontractors, and says he's wired more than 200 mountain homes in eight years. Panel and service upgrades are the bread and butter — 100 amp to 200 amp, usually inside a day, with permits and inspection coordination included. Generators, EV chargers, lighting, and whole-house wiring on new builds round it out. Licensed and carrying $1 million in liability coverage. For a residential job, ask whoever you hire to confirm both, and to say plainly who is pulling the permit.

Metzger Electric
Metzger Electric is a small family business based out of Waynesville, working Haywood County and the surrounding area. Owner Kraig Metzger holds an Unlimited Classification NC electrical contractor's license, which is the tier that lets a shop take on jobs with no dollar ceiling — commercial work and full new construction, not just service calls. His wife Hunter runs the office. The work covers new construction and remodel wiring, commercial jobs, generators, EV chargers, hot tub and sauna circuits, outdoor lighting, and 24-hour troubleshooting. If you're adding a generator or a charger, ask about the panel first — on a lot of houses in this county the service size, not the device, is what decides the price.

Teaster Electric
Teaster Electric is an electrician based on Sorrells Cove Road in Clyde, out past the north side of town. Small local electrical shops like this one are how most of the wiring work in Haywood County gets done — service calls, repairs, and the wiring that comes with a remodel or an addition. No website, so call. Whoever you hire, ask two questions before work starts: who pulls the permit, and whether the existing panel can carry what you're adding. On houses of a certain age in this county, the honest answer to the second one changes the job.
