Pittsboro’s historic downtown circles the Chatham County courthouse, with older houses on the streets around it. North and east, the drive toward Chapel Hill passes established communities like Fearrington Village and Governors Club and newer ones like Briar Chapel, and Chatham Park is adding new homes and businesses on the edge of town.
That mix makes for very different jobs: updating wiring in older in-town houses, adding EV chargers, generators and finished spaces in homes built since the 1990s, and wiring homes on wooded rural lots where the utility might be Duke Energy or Central Electric Membership Corporation.

My Chatham County home is on Central EMC. Who do I call when the power’s out?
Call your co-op first for outages; the number is on your bill. If your neighbors have power and you don’t, or only part of your house is out, turn off the main if it’s safe and call an electrician, because the problem may be on your side of the meter.
How do I add an EV charger to a newer Pittsboro-area home?
Start with a load calculation. Many newer homes have room on a 200-amp service for a Level 2 charger on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The charger’s amperage and the distance from the panel to the garage set the wire size, and the job needs a permit.
