About
The Carolinas Electrical Contractors Association (CECA) has been the premier trade organization for the commercial electrical construction industry in Charlotte, NC and across the Carolinas since its founding — with its NEC code training program accredited by the NC Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors (NCBEEC) continuously since 1989. For property managers, facility managers, and general contractors sourcing qualified electrical contractors in the Charlotte metro, CECA provides a direct connection to a vetted network of member firms specializing in commercial and industrial electrical work. Member contractors routinely handle power distribution, panelboards and breaker systems, commercial lighting systems and retrofits, EV charging (EVSE) infrastructure, backup generators, and low-voltage and data installations across office buildings, retail centers, industrial and manufacturing facilities, warehouses, multifamily properties, and institutional campuses. CECA's member directory gives facility and operations teams a reliable starting point when sourcing contractors for NEC-compliant electrical projects — whether that's a switchgear upgrade in a Charlotte office tower, a lighting retrofit across a retail portfolio, or EVSE deployment at a suburban warehouse campus. Beyond contractor connections, CECA supports the industry through NCBEEC-approved continuing education, classroom-based code courses accepted in North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, and Georgia, and regular Lunch 'N Learn sessions that keep member contractors current on code changes and emerging technologies relevant to commercial facilities. The association's annual convention and golf tournaments fund the Bill Boyette Scholarship Fund and the John Moore Electrical Industry Assistance Fund, sustaining the pipeline of skilled commercial electricians across the Carolinas. For facility managers and general contractors operating in Charlotte and the broader Carolinas region, CECA represents a trusted industry gateway to credentialed, code-current commercial electrical contractors.
