Built for the coast
A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch keeps the refrigerator, well pump and HVAC running when the grid doesn't. We size it to what you actually need powered and place it with flood elevation and clearances in mind.
Dock and outdoor circuits take a beating from salt spray and moisture. We use weather-rated boxes and covers and GFCI protection where code requires it. Dock wiring done wrong can put current into the water, so it's not a place to cut corners.
In flood zones, panels, meters and other electrical equipment generally need to be elevated or protected. When we're renovating, we plan equipment locations around that.
How the job runs
We start with your panel and service: its age, capacity and what's already on it. From there you get a scope that covers permits, utility coordination if your service is changing, and inspection.
If you're adding big loads — an EV charger, a generator, a heat pump — we check whether your service can carry them before you buy anything.
Electrical work is performed by North Carolina–licensed electrical contractors and is permitted and inspected as required.
Electrical FAQ
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs are a 100-amp or older panel, breakers that trip often, no open slots, or plans to add an EV charger, heat pump or generator. A load calculation tells us for sure.
Portable or standby generator?
A portable generator with a properly installed inlet and interlock is the lower-cost option and powers selected circuits. A standby generator starts automatically and can run most or all of the house. Both need correct installation so they never back-feed the utility line.
Is my dock wiring safe?
If it wasn't installed to current code, lacks GFCI protection or shows corrosion, have it inspected. Faulty dock wiring can energize the water around it, which is a serious hazard for swimmers. We can evaluate it and bring it up to code.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes. We install the dedicated 240-volt circuit and charger, confirm your panel has capacity, and handle the permit.
