Based in Bolivia, NC, WaveRider Electric & Automation serves coastal homes and businesses in Brunswick and New Hanover counties. The Brunswick Islands and Cape Fear river regions face electrical problems that don’t show up inland. Salt air causes corrosion. Storms bring flooding and power surges. Wind, sun, and temperature swings wear down panels, wiring, and equipment. When something goes wrong, you want more than just an electrician. You want someone with specialized knowledge and experience.

WaveRider Electric & Automation owner and operator Jason Wagner is a local, licensed, and insured master electrician, and electrical and automation engineer. WaveRider is a service-based company, which means we come directly to your home instead of running a storefront. Our work includes expert panel upgrades, generator installations, outdoor and custom LED lighting, marine and dock electrical services, EV Charging stations, tankless hot water heaters, smart home wiring, and home automation system integration. Our electrical installations are designed to be safe, clean, and built to hold up in coastal conditions. We don’t rush jobs, and we don’t cut corners. We deliver engineering grade solutions tailored to each customer’s needs using materials that stand up to the harsh coastal climate.

ELECTRICIAN | HOME AUTOMATION SERVICES

Owned and operated by an electrical engineer and master electrician with 25 years experience

Electric Generator Shop

Power outages are part of life along the coast. Summer storms, hurricanes, and grid issues leave many homes in Brunswick and New Hanover counties without power when they need it most. We install and service whole-house generators that start automatically and keep critical systems running. Our electric generator shop based in Bolivia NC handles load calculations, permitting, transfer switches, and long-term maintenance so your system works when the weather turns.
Electric Vehicle Charging station contractor

EV chargers place heavy demand on residential electrical systems, especially in older homes like some in Wilmington and Southport NC. As an electric vehicle charging station contractor in Bolivia NC, we install Level 2 chargers, calculate loads, and upgrade panels when needed so charging is safe, efficient, and reliable. Installations are designed to protect both the vehicle and the home’s electrical system.
Home Automation Company

Smart homes only work when the wiring is done right from the start. Many homes in coastal North Carolina towns like St. James, Southport, and Wilmington were never designed for modern loads or connected systems. As a home automation company in Bolivia NC, we install structured wiring, lighting control, and integrated systems that are reliable, simple to use, and built to handle salt air and humidity without constant resets or failures.
Electrical Installation Service

Residential to commercial, renovations to panel upgrades, coastal electrical work requires special consideration beyond the minimum code. As an electrical installation service based in Bolivia NC with an Electrical Engineering degree, I provide solutions that stand up to the climate while accounting for future loads like tankless hot water heaters, EV chargers, and home automation. Panels are labeled. Circuits are balanced. Installations are done efficiently without cutting corners and we take pride in our craftsmanship.
Landscape Lighting Designer

Outdoor lighting around coastal homes has to deal with wind, moisture, and shifting ground. Poor installs fail quickly. As a premier landscape lighting designer based in Bolivia NC, we plan and install low-glare, durable lighting for walkways, driveways, docks, and outdoor living areas. The goal is safe movement at night and clean lighting that looks right without blinding the neighbors. Turtle friendly lighting specialists for the Brunswick Islands, Carolina Beach, and Wrightsville Beach.
