Are Savant Solutions and Savant Electrical the same company?
Yes. Savant Solutions Inc. is the registered company name — the one on our North Carolina electrical license, our insurance certificates and our contracts. Savant Electrical is the logo on our trucks, our building and our shirts, so plenty of people know us by that name instead. Same company, same crews, same phone number.
What areas do you serve?
Our primary service area is Greater Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, Raeford and the surrounding Sandhills — Hoke, Cumberland, Harnett and Sampson counties. We also take work in the Raleigh–Durham Triangle and Charlotte Metro, and our unlimited license covers projects statewide in North Carolina.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold North Carolina Unlimited Electrical License #U.36332, verifiable through the NC Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. We carry $2,000,000 per occurrence / $4,000,000 aggregate general liability, $1,000,000 commercial auto and $1,000,000 workers’ compensation, and our field staff hold active OSHA 30 and OSHA 10 certifications.
Do you bid commercial projects for general contractors?
Yes — commercial and industrial construction is our core business. Send drawings to [email protected] and they are reviewed by the licensed contractor who will actually run the job. One subcontract covers both Division 26 electrical and Division 27 communications.
Do you handle low-voltage and data, or only power?
Both, self-performed. Structured cabling in Cat6 and Cat6A, multimode and singlemode fiber with certification testing, point-to-point wireless links and commercial VoIP phone systems all run on the same schedule as the branch circuits — no second vendor to coordinate.
Can homeowners book a service call online?
Yes. Residential work — panel upgrades and service changes, SPAN smart panels, troubleshooting, EV charger installation, Generac standby generators, ceiling fans and home network cabling — can be booked online with a confirmed appointment window.
Do you install SPAN smart panels?
Yes — Savant Solutions is a SPAN Authorized Installer. A SPAN panel replaces the main load center and lets you monitor and control every circuit from your phone, but its practical value is capacity: it manages loads dynamically, which often means an EV charger, heat pump or battery can go on an existing 200-amp service without a utility service upgrade, and during an outage it decides which circuits a battery keeps running. We will tell you straight whether a SPAN panel or a conventional upgrade is the better fit for your house.
What are your hours, and do you take urgent calls?
The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 6:00pm, and closed weekends. We hold dedicated rapid-response capacity for diagnostic and troubleshooting work — outages, electrical hazards and equipment failures are prioritised to minimise downtime for commercial facilities.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Fayetteville or Raeford?
A 200-amp panel replacement typically runs $2,500 to $4,000 installed, including the permit and inspection, and takes one day. Full service upgrades with a new meter base and mast run higher. We quote flat-rate after seeing the panel, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Cumberland or Hoke County?
Yes for panels, new circuits, EV chargers, generator inlets and service work. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Small like-for-like replacements (a switch, a receptacle, a fixture) generally do not require one.
What is the difference between a generator interlock and a transfer switch?
An interlock is a kit on your existing panel that lets a portable generator feed the whole panel through an inlet box, one circuit at a time by choice. A transfer switch is a separate box that feeds a fixed set of circuits. For most homes with a portable generator the interlock is the simpler, less expensive option. Either one is the only safe way to connect a generator; plugging into a dryer outlet back-feeds the utility line.
Can I add an EV charger if my panel is full?
Usually yes. Options are a load-management device, a subpanel, or a SPAN smart panel, which manages loads so a Level 2 charger fits on a 200-amp service without a utility upgrade. We are a SPAN Authorized Installer. We look at your panel and the service size before quoting.
How fast can you come out?
Most service calls in Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, Raeford and Hope Mills are scheduled within one to three business days. Emergencies (burning smell, panel buzzing, no power to part of the house) are same-day when possible. Book online at bookanelectrician.org or call (910) 973-8600.
Do you work on Fort Bragg and in military housing?
Yes. We hold a current installation pass and do both government contract work on post and residential work in the surrounding communities. For on-post housing, the housing office usually has to authorize the work first; we can help with that paperwork.
