FAQs
What residential electrical services do you offer in Charleston?
We provide a full range of household electrical services throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, North Charleston, West Ashley, and the surrounding islands. Our licensed technicians handle troubleshooting and repairs, panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, indoor and outdoor lighting installation, ceiling-fan wiring, electric vehicle charger installation, surge protection, and safety inspections. Whether you own a historic downtown house or a newer build in Daniel Island, we have the experience to bring your wiring up to code and running safely.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency?
We have a 24/7 on-call team for electrical emergencies such as power loss, burning smells, sparking outlets, or storm damage. For most calls within the Charleston metro area, a certified electrician can be on site within 60–90 minutes. Our service trucks are stocked with common parts so we can resolve the majority of issues on the first visit and restore power safely without delay.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in South Carolina?
Yes. Every technician on our crew holds a South Carolina Residential Electrical Contractor (CERT) or Mechanical Contractor (EL2) license issued by the SC Department of Labor, Licensing & Regulation (LLR). The company maintains full general liability, workers’ compensation, and commercial auto coverage. We pull all required permits with the City of Charleston or Charleston County Building Services and provide a certificate of insurance upon request, so you can hire us with confidence.
Can you help me upgrade my home to energy-efficient lighting?
Absolutely. We perform whole-home LED retrofits, smart-switch installations, dimmer upgrades, and daylight/occupancy sensor setups that can cut lighting energy use by up to 75 %. Our electricians start with a free assessment, calculate projected savings, recommend DLC-listed fixtures, and handle the complete install—often in a single day. We’ll also guide you through applicable Santee Cooper or Dominion Energy rebate paperwork to maximize your return.
Do you handle commercial electrical projects in the Charleston area?
Yes. We regularly work with restaurants on King Street, offices in North Charleston, and light-industrial facilities along Clements Ferry Rd. Services include service-panel builds up to 4,000 A, three-phase equipment wiring, tenant build-outs, code corrections, lighting controls, and preventative maintenance programs. Our OSHA-trained crews can accommodate off-hour or weekend schedules to minimize business downtime.
How much does it cost to have an electrician come to my home?
We offer transparent, upfront pricing. A standard diagnostic visit within 25 miles of downtown Charleston is $89, which is waived if you approve the repair. Most common fixes—such as outlet replacement, breaker swaps, or light-fixture installs—run $150–$275 parts and labor. Larger jobs like panel upgrades start around $1,500, while whole-home rewiring can range from $8,000 to $20,000 depending on size and accessibility. All quotes are presented in writing before work begins and are backed by a two-year workmanship warranty.
