Electrician in Kernersville, NC
Kernersville's go-to licensed electrician — fast response, honest pricing, quality work on every job.

Kernersville sits at the crossroads of Forsyth, Guilford, and Forsyth counties, making it a strategically central community in the Triad — and one that Dausman Electric services daily. This small city has seen significant residential growth over the past two decades, with new subdivisions rising alongside long-established neighborhoods. Whether you're in a new build off Highway 66 or an older home near downtown, we bring the same professional standards to every job.
Panel upgrades are a frequent need in Kernersville's older housing stock. Many homes from the 1970s and 80s still have 100-amp service with outdated breaker panels that can't handle modern electrical loads — especially homes that have added central air conditioning, a home office, or EV charging since the original panel was installed. We upgrade to 200-amp service and install new panels from trusted brands like Square D, Leviton, and Eaton. Every upgrade is permitted through Forsyth County inspections.
New home construction in Kernersville's growing subdivisions requires all phases of electrical work: rough-in wiring while the walls are open, trim-out of devices and fixtures once drywall is up, and a thorough final walkthrough before the certificate of occupancy is issued. Dausman Electric works efficiently alongside general contractors and builders and shows up when we say we will — because we know your construction timeline depends on it.
Kernersville homeowners have embraced EV charging at a rate that tracks with the rest of the Triad. Installing a Level 2 charger at home is a project we do frequently, and we've gotten very efficient at it. Most residential EV charger installations take about two to three hours, and many can be completed without a panel upgrade if sufficient capacity already exists. We assess your panel first so there are no surprises.
The area around Kernersville also gets its share of storm-related outages, particularly during severe spring and summer thunderstorm seasons. Standby generator installation is something we strongly encourage for households that can't afford extended outages — whether that's due to medical needs, a home-based business, or simply the inconvenience of spoiled food and no HVAC for days at a stretch. We size, install, and connect standby generators to natural gas or propane, with automatic transfer switches that engage within seconds of a power failure.
