What we do
Bretco Electric Company has been licensed, insured and family owned in Winston-Salem since 1990. Homes and businesses across the Triad call us for wiring, panel and service upgrades, troubleshooting, lighting and standby generators, and the crew that shows up usually carries every tool the job needs on the first visit.
Where most calls start
Homeowners across Winston-Salem have trusted Bretco for more than a quarter of a century: new wiring, fixture and outlet repairs, and emergency calls when something will not wait. We wire to modern code for generators, HVAC, ranges, dryers and home offices, and we offer senior citizen and military discounts on the work.

Most upgrades land at 200 amp service, and the usual triggers are central air or electric heat, a home addition, a pool or spa, or an old fuse panel that has run out of room. We have completed hundreds of these across the Winston-Salem area, and we will tell you plainly whether you need the whole service replaced or just one circuit fixed.

Bretco is a trusted commercial electrician serving Winston-Salem and the surrounding area, with low service call rates and electrical options built to keep appliances and equipment running instead of being replaced. We schedule around businesses that cannot simply close for the day.

From temporary service through the final inspection, Bretco handles the whole job rather than one piece of it. Every crew carries its own tools, so diagnosis and repair usually happen on the same visit, and the work is guaranteed. We cover Winston-Salem, Kernersville, Colfax, Advance, Walkertown, Lewisville, Pfafftown, High Point, Clemmons and Oak Ridge.
Over thirty years of reading faults in residential and commercial wiring, with test equipment instead of guesswork and repairs that meet code before we leave. Low service call rates mean it is worth phoning about the small stuff before it turns into the big stuff.
Energy efficient LED fixtures set flush with the ceiling, laid out before anything gets cut, for kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, basements and commercial spaces.
Over twenty-five years of placing uplight, path light and accent light around Winston-Salem homes, work that doubles as security lighting and lifts curb appeal after dark. Design, product and installation come from one source, and estimates are free.
Bretco has been selling and installing home and business generators for years, sized to the building rather than picked off a shelf. Every installation starts with a free in-home survey and price quote, followed by ongoing service and maintenance once it is running.
Not sure which service you need
Most homeowners cannot tell a branch-circuit repair from a service upgrade, and they are not supposed to. Tell us what is happening and we will tell you which of these eight services actually fits, before anyone books anything.
