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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

For generator installation in Raleigh, select a standby generator powered by natural gas or propane, both well-supported locally. Use a reinforced concrete pad to handle the region’s clay soil and ensure stability. Opt for weather-resistant enclosures, copper wiring for durability, and install an automatic transfer switch and surge protector. Corrosion-resistant fittings are essential to withstand Raleigh’s humidity and seasonal storms.

Helpful?

Installing a generator in Raleigh provides immediate backup power during frequent summer storms and hurricane threats, helping protect refrigerated food and sensitive electronics. Over time, you’ll enjoy reliable power for medical devices or remote work, increased home value, and greater appeal to buyers who expect backup power in NC. Some insurance providers may also offer discounts for homes with standby generators.

Helpful?

In Raleigh, be cautious of quotes that lack detailed breakdowns of equipment, labor, or do not specify the type of automatic transfer switch included. Avoid installers who pressure you to commit quickly, request unusually large deposits, or skip an on-site assessment. Trustworthy professionals will explain local code requirements, provide references from recent Raleigh projects, and maintain clear, prompt communication throughout the process.

Helpful?

Before starting generator installation in Raleigh, review your property’s layout for proper generator placement, considering clay soil and drainage needs common in the area. Secure all required permits, confirm HOA rules on noise and setbacks, and coordinate with utility providers for gas or electrical upgrades. Always call 811 before digging, and plan for inspections to keep your project on schedule and compliant.

Helpful?

Raleigh’s humid summers, heavy rainfall, and hurricane risks require careful planning for generator installation. Ensure your system is sized for high summer power demands and protected with a weatherproof enclosure. Proper drainage and a sturdy concrete pad help prevent shifting in clay soil. Scheduling installation in spring or fall can help avoid weather delays and ensure your backup power system is ready before peak storm season.
