FAQs
What types of cutting-edge electrical installations do you provide in Charleston?
We specialize in a full spectrum of modern electrical solutions, including whole-home smart wiring, energy-efficient LED lighting systems, advanced panel upgrades with surge protection, EV (electric vehicle) charging station installation, solar panel interconnection, and battery backup systems. Our technicians are trained in the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) updates and local Charleston regulations to ensure every project is safe, reliable, and future-proof.
How do you ensure your installations comply with Charleston and South Carolina electrical codes?
Before any project begins, we conduct a comprehensive site assessment and design plan that references the latest NEC and City of Charleston building ordinances. All permit applications are handled in-house, and our licensed electricians schedule inspections with local building officials at key milestones. We also maintain detailed documentation—load calculations, panel schedules, and as-built drawings—to guarantee 100% code compliance and smooth inspection approvals.
What is the typical timeline for a residential panel upgrade or smart home installation?
For most single-family homes, a panel upgrade takes one full working day, including utility coordination and inspection. A whole-home smart wiring retrofit or new-construction installation can range from 2–5 days, depending on square footage and the complexity of devices (lighting controls, security, HVAC integration, etc.). We provide a detailed project schedule upfront and keep homeowners informed of any changes caused by material lead times or inspection availability.
Do you offer financing or rebates for energy-efficient or renewable installations?
Yes. We partner with local lenders to provide low-interest financing plans for qualified customers. Additionally, Charleston residents may be eligible for Santee Cooper rebates, federal tax credits (up to 30% for solar and battery storage), and utility incentives for high-efficiency lighting and smart thermostats. Our team will identify applicable programs, prepare the paperwork, and submit rebate applications on your behalf to maximize savings.
What maintenance or support do you provide after the installation is complete?
Every installation comes with a workmanship warranty of up to five years, plus the manufacturers’ warranties on all equipment. We offer optional annual maintenance plans that include thermal imaging panel scans, breaker torque checks, firmware updates for smart devices, and performance monitoring for solar and battery systems. Our 24/7 emergency hotline guarantees a licensed electrician is available within 90 minutes anywhere in the Charleston metro area.
How much will a cutting-edge electrical project cost, and how do I get an estimate?
Costs vary based on scope, materials, and labor. For reference, an EV charger installation starts around $850, a 200-amp smart panel upgrade averages $2,500–$3,500, and a full smart-home wiring package can range from $4–$8 per square foot.
