About WaveRider Electric & Automation
The Intersection of Engineering Precision and Coastal Reliability
Whether you are navigating a complex industrial automation failure or simply need a dependable electrician in Bolivia, NC, you need a fixer who understands the "why" behind the "wire."
I’m Jason Wagner, the Owner and Operator of WaveRider Electric & Automation. I provide expert electrical installations, home automation, and emergency repairs across the Brunswick Islands, Southport, Wilmington metro, and down to the South Carolina border. My mission is to bring high-level engineering standards to your home or business, ensuring your systems are as reliable as the morning tide at Oak Island.
Why Trust the WaveRider?
I started this business in 2025 to bridge the gap between "standard electrical work" and "intelligent automation." My background isn't typical for a local contractor:
Engineering Pedigree: I hold an Electrical Engineering degree and spent years as an Automation Engineer. I’ve solved complex logic and power issues in the medical, semiconductor, and manufacturing industries.
25 Years of Dirt: I’m a Licensed Electrician (NC #33265) with over two decades of hands-on experience in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
The Troubleshooting Mindset: I have a natural gift for finding the "ghost in the machine." If other electricians have walked away from your automation glitch or flickering circuit, that’s where I thrive.
Local & Insured: We are fully backed by $2 million in liability insurance, giving our neighbors in communities like St. James, Figure Eight Island, and Ocean Isle total peace of mind.
Beyond the Tool Belt
When I’m not optimizing a smart home or installing a Level 2 EV charging station, you’ll likely find me out on the water. I’m a lifelong surfer with an artistic soul; I view a perfectly wired panel as a piece of art. That same flow and precision I find on a wave is what I bring to every job site.
