We are a small town, locally owned business with over 25 years in the industry. We pride ourselves on our customer service, expert knowledge of the rapidly changing HVAC standards, and competitive prices. Our belief is better air, better life!

"It went very well. Took a bit longer than expected. Only because someone took his puller, but he pushed through and got it done. What was really nice is that even though a mix up occurred and the unit didn't get registered after it was installed as this was new construction with a custom builder. Dolan honored their 10 year contract."

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.

"The lady who contacted me in response to my request for service from this outfit, told me there would be a 79$ fee plus tax just for the estimate.: if I then went ahead and performed some or all of the services, that fee would be applicable towards the services. (other electricians come out and estimate for free! They seemed professional on the phone and sent responsive texts and emails---and I really needed a lot of work done fast, I was willing to set up the appointment. The guy who came out was young in comparison to other estimators that came here, described himself as an electrician working for his father ( contractor) and uncles outfit---but he was very polite and professional and responsive. He proceeded to look at our power panel first--- and then we went over the entire house and I explained what I wanted done, realizing it was a lot I also indicated I might need to split this into a phase 1 and part 2 projects. The guy then returned to his car and wrote up his estimates coming back about 1/2 hour later to show them to me on his I pad, telling me that each item is a flat fee and adding them up... I looked at the costs of individual projects as well as at the grand total. I was rather dismayed to find out his estimates escalated over $3000.00(!!) ----ABOVE the highest local estimates(!!!) I had in hand from others, the BEST and highest rated full electrical contractors in our Durham Chapel Hill area!! ( their estimates totaled around $4500-5000 for even far more comprehensive work than I had asked this guy! I kept the conversation polite, trying to understand where this outfit came from in quoting such outlandish prices for this area...and I asked him, whether in all seriousness they perhaps did NOT need any jobs...? Not liking to waste my time nor this young man's, thinking it might be worth spending 50 or 100$ more on some items just to get them done now and off my list---- I tried to find at least one or two projects for him to do while he was out here-- such as replacing outdoor security lights with newer fixtures, I already had purchased--- and even after this and getting my 79$ supposedly applied to these jobs, .. the price for what I wanted done was 100% above the highest quoted price of the same items (!!!) by a very reputable and highly rated outfit in this area totallng several hundred dollars more. . At that point ---I would rather let go of my 80 bucks, than throw more good money after bad --- I told him we were done and that I consider myself scammed!! BEWARE! they are a rip off if they are legit..... or else I just gave a guy a free tour to my house and electrical and security system based on Angies List's high recommendations--!!!! BEWARE.... I really want my money back and feel had!--but at this point that is the least of my concerns. Please let my experience be a lesson to you---do not open your doors to this outfit."

Subcontracting services FAQs

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

Qualified, licensed electricians will charge from $50 to $100 per hour. The cost to hire an electrician for emergency visits may range from $100 to $200 per hour because this urgent service usually takes place during off hours and may require an electrician to leave or reschedule jobs they’re currently working on. Scheduling work on holidays or during periods of high customer demand, like after a major storm, will also lead to higher rates or extra fees.
