About us
A local electrical business, based right here on Swift Rd in Oakboro
Bobby Edwards Electric is an owner-operated electrical contractor serving Oakboro, North Carolina and the surrounding Stanly County area. We handle the everyday electrical work homeowners actually need — bad outlets, failing panels, fixtures, circuits that quit without warning — and we do it without the runaround.
Who we work for
Most of our calls come from homeowners within a short drive of downtown Oakboro — older farmhouses off Swift Rd with two-wire circuits, brick ranches from the seventies with tired 100-amp panels, and newer builds where a remodel added more load than the original wiring planned for. We also take care of small commercial spaces: shops, offices, churches, and storefronts that need dependable power and a licensed person to sign off on it.
Being based in Oakboro instead of driving out from Charlotte changes the experience. We know which neighborhoods are on which utility feeds, we know how long an inspection typically takes in Stanly County, and we can usually get to you the same week rather than putting you three counties down a list.
What the free consultation actually covers
You call, describe the problem, and we ask enough questions to understand the scope. For most jobs we come look at it in person at no charge — check the panel, test the circuit, see what's behind the wall plate — and then give you a written price for the work. If the fix is something you can safely do yourself, like resetting a GFCI you forgot about in the garage, we'll tell you that too.
How we work
Four things we hold ourselves to
We explain before we work
You hear what's wrong, what the options are, and what each one costs before a tool comes out of the van. No surprises added at the end.
One electrician, start to finish
The person who quotes your job is the person who does it. Nothing gets lost between an estimator, a scheduler, and a crew you've never met.
Code-compliant, not just working
Anything we install is sized, grounded, and protected the way the National Electrical Code requires — which matters at inspection and at resale.
We leave it clean
Drop cloths down, boxes hauled off, drywall dust vacuumed. You shouldn't have to clean up after an electrician.
Where to find us
We work out of 8815 Swift Rd, Oakboro, NC 28129, and our service area covers Oakboro and the roads immediately around it. If you're close enough that we can get there and back in a working day, call and ask — we'd rather tell you yes or no than have you guess.
