About 3R Electric, electrician in Chapel Hill.

3R Electric LLC is a licensed North Carolina electrical contractor based in Chapel Hill, doing electrical work for homeowners and businesses across Orange County, Durham and north Chatham County.

The work ranges across everything a building’s electrical system does: the service and the panel, the wiring inside the walls, the lights and outlets people use every day, and the new loads that keep arriving, from EV chargers and heat pumps to generators for storm season.

Old houses, new loads

This part of North Carolina asks a lot of an electrician. Houses near campus and in old Durham and Hillsborough can still carry knob-and-tube. Neighborhoods built in the 1960s and ’70s bring aluminum branch wiring and panel brands worth replacing. Newer homes in Southern Village, Meadowmont and north Chatham want chargers, generators and finished basements. Every one of those jobs starts the same way: find out what’s actually there before deciding what to do.

How we work

We test before we guess, explain what we found in plain words, give you the price before work starts, and pull the permit when the job needs one. The work should be neat, labeled and ready for inspection.
