Since 2009
A small shop that is fussy about paperwork.
Seventeen years in two counties, doing the parts of this trade that do not show up in a photograph: the directory, the permit, the load calculation, the photograph of the wall before it closed.

The idea
Most electrical complaints are not about electricity.
They are about not being told. Not being told what it was, not being told what it would cost before it cost that, not being told that the thing behind the wall was going to be covered up and never photographed.
The technical work in this trade has an answer. It is measurable, it is codified, and a competent electrician and a good one will usually reach the same conclusion. What separates them is everything around it — and that part is entirely a choice about how a business is run.
What we chose
Electricians paid for the work rather than the ticket. Diagnostics before parts. Permits filed rather than avoided. A written directory in every panel. Photographs of anything about to be covered. And, when a panel has twenty good years left, saying so.
It is slower. It costs us the occasional easy sale. It is also why most of our work arrives through somebody who has already had us out once.
What we fit
- Square D
- Eaton
- Siemens
- Leviton
- Lutron
- Generac
We fit several manufacturers rather than one. A shop tied to a single brand will always find a reason your house needs that brand.
Who you are calling
Dana Whitlock
Owner, master electrician
Dana spent nine years as a service electrician for a company that ran its board on a whiteboard and its estimates on a hunch. The work was good. Everything around the work was not, and the customers were the ones who paid for that.
Wrenfield opened in 2009 with a rule that has not moved since: every panel we touch leaves with a legible directory taped inside the door. It is a small thing. It is also the fastest way to tell whether the person who worked on your house was in a hurry.
- Master electrician on staff
- Every electrician background-checked
- Family-run and locally owned
- Licensed, insured and bonded in North Carolina
A license number would normally be printed here and in the footer. This is a demonstration site for a company that does not exist, so it is deliberately blank rather than invented — a license number is a claim anyone can check.
How it goes
Four steps, and you are told the price before the third one.
- 01
You tell us what you are noticing
Not a diagnosis — a description. Which room, what it does, when it started. Half of what an electrician needs is in that sentence.
- 02
We arrive inside the window
A real arrival window, given when the job is booked, and a call if anything moves. Most service calls are the same working day.
- 03
Diagnosis, then a price
We find it, we show you the reading, and the price is agreed at your kitchen table before anything is opened up.
- 04
The work, and the paperwork
The repair, the permit where one is needed, the inspection, the photographs of anything getting covered, and a directory you can read.
Book it
Tell us what the house is doing.
Four fields and a sentence. Someone calls you back with a real arrival window — usually the same working day.
