Meet Tony Riddle
Owner, Master Electrical Contractor & Power Systems Specialist
At the operational helm, master technical direction, and electrical safety core of TLR Electric LLC is Owner Tony Riddle. Serving residential homeowners, commercial facilities, agricultural operations, and industrial properties throughout Snow Camp, North Carolina, and the surrounding Triangle and Triad regions, Tony brings more than 30 years of specialized trade wisdom to every circuit, breaker, and service entrance. Since founding TLR Electric LLC in 2008, Tony has built his business into one of Central North Carolina's most dependable electrical contracting companies, anchored in strict National Electrical Code (NEC) compliance, clean installation aesthetics, and genuine community accountability.
Tony’s primary area of technical expertise spans comprehensive electrical contracting, including heavy-up service panel upgrades, whole-structure rewiring, backup generator integration, commercial branch circuit design, lighting retrofits, and complex diagnostic troubleshooting. Electrical systems represent the vital operational backbone and primary fire safety factor of any structure. Managing modern power demands—from high-draw HVAC equipment and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure to computerized commercial machinery—requires an expert understanding of load balancing, voltage drop calculations, conductor sizing, grounding electrode systems, and overcurrent protection. Tony combines three decades of field-tested trade mastery with up-to-date code certifications to ensure that every installation runs safely, efficiently, and reliably under peak loads.
Throughout his extensive career, Tony has navigated the steady evolution of North Carolina's residential and commercial power infrastructure. As homes and businesses incorporate advanced electronics, automated smart controls, and sensitive digital devices, the need for clean, surge-protected power distribution has never been higher. Tony approaches each project with a thorough diagnostic assessment, systematically checking for hazardous legacy wiring—such as ungrounded cloth circuits or failing breaker boxes—and engineering modern solutions that protect both the property and the people inside.
Over 30 Years of Industry Mastery, 24-Hour Emergency Response & Local Reliability
Tony established TLR Electric LLC in 2008 with a clear operational philosophy: high-caliber electrical contracting should be dependable, honest, and accessible to everyone at reasonable rates. Recognizing that power outages, arcing breakers, and storm-damaged meter bases rarely occur during convenient business hours, Tony built the company around responsive availability. Under his direct leadership, TLR Electric provides 24-hour emergency electrical services, giving Triangle and Triad property owners a dependable emergency line to call when sudden electrical failures threaten personal safety, inventory refrigeration, or essential business operations.
To eliminate uncertainty and provide complete transparency, Tony offers free same-day estimates. He believes that homeowners and business managers deserve clear, upfront communication regarding the scope of work, material requirements, and total project investment before work begins. Operating as a fully licensed and certified electrical contractor, Tony ensures that all permits, utility meter disconnects, and municipal safety inspections are managed smoothly, protecting property owners from costly compliance issues or insurance liabilities down the line.
Under Tony’s supervision, TLR Electric maintains fully equipped service vans carrying professional-grade testing meters, conduit benders, high-grade copper wiring, commercial breaker units, and essential safety gear. This readiness allows Tony and his team to resolve critical residential repairs, commercial equipment disconnections, and routine maintenance tasks swiftly on the first visit, minimizing downtime and disruption for clients.
Dedicated Local Owner Invested in North Carolina Communities
Operating as a locally owned business based in Snow Camp, Tony views his clients as neighbors, friends, and community partners rather than simple work orders. He understands the distinctive challenges faced by rural homesteads, suburban subdivisions, and active commercial hubs across Alamance, Orange, Guilford, and surrounding counties. His long-standing presence in the area since 2008 reflects his enduring commitment to building lasting relationships rooted in trust, fair pricing, and dependable follow-through.
