Streamline Services, Inc. has been serving the plumbing, electrical and HVAC needs of Raleigh and surrounding areas for over 20 years. We offer 24/7 support and fast, same day repairs. We are a family-owned and operated business. We're committed to providing the highest quality service with our licensed and certified technicians, continuing training, and dedication to our community. Our core values are simple yet impact the way we go about our day – dependable, dedicated, positive, eager to learn, process-driven, and humble. The relationships we cultivate and develop amongst ourselves and with customers is something we pride ourselves with every day.

"I used Streamline Services to replace my HVAC system and to install insulation on the ductwork in my basement in August 2024, and unfortunately that was an extremely expensive mistake. We have since had them out 7 times that I have record of to repair issues related to the ductwork insulation, at extreme disruption to mine and my husband’s jobs which are based in our home, and on 2 of those occasions they also had a manager supervising. It’s the least of my concerns at this point but they left a mess each time they came, insulation scraps and screws all over the place and tape stuck to the floor. After all that, the insulation has never been properly adhered to the ductwork and has fallen down repeatedly, there are multiple areas all over our basement where the fiberglass insulation is exposed and where the tape has visibly lifted and the insulation is just resting on top of the duct. Their communication is somehow even worse than their workmanship. I’ve been trying to speak to a manager about a refund since December (I have record of 10 such inquiries I made in that time) and I’ve either been ignored or told that someone will call me and it never happens. They did give me a refund that amounted to roughly 8% of what I paid for the duct wrapping about two weeks ago, without contacting me or letting me know which I found odd, however that is not at all reflective of what I should be refunded after all of this and I think they just did it in hopes that I would leave them alone. I really wanted to resolve this with them amicably and have been exceedingly patient with them but unfortunately that goodwill hasn’t been reciprocated. We paid for our ducts to be wrapped and sealed and I think it’s clear we didn’t get what we paid for."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Durham, most electrical projects—such as installing, altering, or repairing wiring, outlets, or electrical panels—require a permit from the City-County Inspections Department. The process is managed through the Land Development Office portal. Homeowners acting as their own contractor must file a specific affidavit. According to the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, minor like-for-like fixture replacements by licensed professionals may be exempt, but always confirm with local authorities before starting work.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Durham, select materials that meet NC Building Code standards, such as copper wiring of the correct gauge, PVC or metal conduit for protection, and tamper-resistant outlets. Use AFCI and GFCI circuit breakers where required. Local professionals recommend digital multimeters and voltage testers for safety. Always choose UL-listed products and consult the City-County Inspections Department for approved materials in your area.

Helpful?

In Durham, frequent mistakes include overloading circuits, using improper wire sizes, and failing to install GFCI or AFCI protection where required. Skipping permits or inspections, as mandated by the City-County Inspections Department, can result in code violations and insurance issues. The North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors stresses the importance of proper grounding and following all local codes to avoid costly and dangerous errors.

Helpful?

In Durham, regular electrical maintenance is essential for safety and efficiency. Inspect breaker panels for corrosion, test GFCI outlets monthly, and monitor for signs of overheating or tripped circuits. After severe weather, check for moisture or surge damage. The City-County Inspections Department advises scheduling periodic professional inspections and considering whole-home surge protection to extend system lifespan and ensure code compliance.

Helpful?

DIY electrical work in Durham can save money on labor and offer a sense of accomplishment for minor repairs. However, the City-County Inspections Department enforces strict permitting and code compliance, and mistakes can lead to fire hazards or failed inspections. Hiring a licensed electrician ensures adherence to local regulations, proper load calculations, and safer long-term performance, as recommended by the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors.
