Real experience. Local knowledge. Ready to wire.
Getting your power back is easier than you think. Dead outlets, flickering lights, a breaker that trips every time you run the microwave, a burning smell near a switch plate, sparks from a receptacle, or power out to half the house are all signs that something in the wiring or panel needs attention. These symptoms are not just inconveniences. They can point to loose connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, or wiring that has worn past its safe working life.
A service call starts with a thorough look at the symptom and works back to the source. We check the panel, the circuit, and the device or fixture involved, and we give you straight answers about your panel and wiring before any work is scheduled. You know what the problem is and what fixing it involves before anything starts. We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
This area has every kind of panel and circuit in it, from modern 200-amp breaker panels to older fuse boxes that were never designed to carry the loads that current appliances and systems demand. If your panel is undersized, running out of breaker slots, or still fused, an upgrade is worth understanding. A 200-amp service upgrade gives your home or building the capacity to run modern appliances, EV chargers, dedicated circuits for additions, and HVAC supply circuits without constantly tripping breakers or creating a fire risk.
The process involves a load calculation to confirm what size service the property needs, coordination with the utility for the service connection, and installation of the new panel and breakers. Code-compliant wiring on every job is how we approach every panel installation. We handle the full scope from start to finish.
Older homes in Greenville County sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuit wiring, both of which create real safety concerns when they age or when modern loads are added. A whole-home rewire replaces the branch circuit wiring throughout the house, bringing it up to current code and eliminating the risks that come with insulation-degraded or improperly modified old wiring. Aluminum wiring remediation addresses the connection points where aluminum meets devices and fixtures, which is where the risk concentrates. If you are adding a room, finishing a basement, or buying an older property, understanding what the wiring situation is should come first. We'll get your lights back on fast.
Homes and businesses need different wiring answers, but the day-to-day electrical work is often the same: a dead outlet that needs replacing, a dimmer that buzzes, a switch that stopped working, or a kitchen that needs GFCI protection added. GFCI outlets are required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations. AFCI protection is required in bedrooms and living areas in newer construction and during certain renovations. If your home predates those requirements, adding proper protection is a straightforward upgrade.
We also install USB outlets, replace two-prong ungrounded receptacles with properly grounded ones, add switch legs for new fixtures, and handle any outlet or switch work that comes up during a remodel or addition. Call us and the rest is handled.
Whether this is your first repair or your tenth, lighting upgrades are one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to a home or commercial space. We install recessed lighting in living rooms, kitchens, and hallways, replace outdated fixtures with new ones, and run the wiring for under-cabinet lighting in kitchens. Outdoor lighting, landscape lighting, security lighting, and motion-sensor fixtures are all part of what we handle on the exterior side.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement includes running a proper fan-rated box where one does not exist, wiring the fan and light kit, and making sure the circuit is sized correctly. A ceiling fan on a circuit that was only ever meant for a light fixture needs the wiring looked at before the fan goes up, and we take care of that as part of the job. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind.
Greenville and the surrounding Upstate South Carolina area see a full range of weather across the year. Hot summers push air conditioning demand hard, winter ice storms can knock out power for days, and severe thunderstorms roll through with enough frequency that backup power and surge protection are practical considerations rather than optional extras. The housing stock here spans decades, which means the electrical systems do too. These three services come up often for a reason.
Homes in this area were wired in different decades, and it shows in the panels. A 100-amp panel that was adequate when a house was built may not carry the load of a modern kitchen, a home addition, an EV charger, and central air supply circuits at the same time. Panel upgrades also bring the opportunity to add arc-fault and ground-fault breaker protection across circuits that previously had none. We assess the current panel, calculate the load, and install the service size the property actually requires.
Ice storms and severe thunderstorms in the Upstate can take out power for hours or longer. A properly wired backup generator with a transfer switch lets you run essential circuits, whether that means keeping the refrigerator on, maintaining heat or cooling supply circuits, or keeping a sump pump running during heavy rain. We handle the generator hookup, the transfer switch installation, and the wiring from the panel to the generator connection point. We show up ready to wire and handle the full installation from panel to connection.
A power strip with a built-in surge suppressor handles what is plugged into it. It does nothing for the refrigerator, the HVAC supply circuit, the EV charger circuit, or any other hardwired appliance. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel level and covers every circuit in the house. Given the frequency of lightning and storm-related surges in this area, protecting sensitive electronics, smart home devices, and major appliances from a single point of entry is a practical step. The installation is straightforward and works alongside whatever individual protection you already have.
Level 2 EV charger installation starts with the panel. A 240-volt dedicated circuit needs to be run from the panel to the garage or parking location, sized for the charger and the vehicle. If the panel does not have the capacity, that gets addressed first. Beyond EV chargers, dedicated circuits are the right answer for dryers, large refrigerators, hot tubs, and the supply circuits that feed air conditioning equipment. Running a high-draw appliance on a shared circuit causes nuisance tripping and puts stress on the wiring. A dedicated circuit eliminates both problems. Call and we'll get you back to full power.
Property managers, small business owners, retail operators, and landlords all run into electrical work that needs to be handled correctly and on a schedule that works around tenants and operations. We handle commercial panel upgrades, commercial wiring for new and renovated spaces, lighting installation, outlet work, and the electrical side of build-outs and tenant improvements. Rental properties need GFCI protection, working panels, and safe wiring to meet code and pass inspections. Office spaces and retail locations need circuits that match the load, lighting that works, and wiring that was done to the standard the code inspectors here enforce.
Whether you are buying an older home, dealing with an insurance requirement, or just want to know what condition the wiring is in, an electrical safety inspection gives you a clear picture of what is working, what is not, and what needs attention. A pre-purchase inspection looks at the panel, the branch circuits, the grounding, the outlets, and the visible wiring to identify anything that presents a safety concern or a code issue. We explain what we find in plain language so you can make an informed decision before you close or before you schedule repairs.
When you call for a quote, you get the rate on the phone. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you can ask what it covers and get a straight answer. Common questions we hear involve the cost of a panel upgrade, what it runs to rewire an older house, or what a Level 2 EV charger installation involves from a pricing standpoint. Those are all reasonable questions and we answer them directly. There is no reason to guess at what a job will cost before you have talked to anyone.

A sparking outlet or a panel that is warm to the touch is an urgent situation and should not be left unaddressed. If it is safe to do so, stop using the outlet or circuit involved and avoid touching the panel.
Call us at (864) 365-3623 during our hours, 9:00 AM to 8:30 PM daily, and we will prioritize urgent electrical faults.
We work regularly with landlords and property managers across Greenville County who need outlet upgrades, panel work, safety inspections before a new tenancy, and wiring for additions. Call us to talk through what the properties need and we will confirm how to handle scheduling and pricing for multiple locations.
A straightforward outlet repair is typically scoped and completed in a single visit. A panel upgrade involves a load calculation, coordination with the utility for the service connection, and more time on site, so the scheduling conversation covers more ground. Either way, the scope is confirmed on the call before anything is booked.
If you will not be present, let us know when you call so we can discuss access and confirm what arrangements are needed. Some jobs require access to the panel or work areas that may not be reachable without someone on site, and we will sort out the details before the visit is scheduled.
That is a fair question to ask when you call. Travel fees, if any, are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled, so you know the full picture before you commit.

The table below covers what each service includes, who it fits best, and what is practical to know before you call.
Call (864) 365-3623 and we will walk through what your job involves.
| Service Type | What It Covers | Best For | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Anyone adding a high-draw appliance that needs its own breaker and circuit | Hot tub and pool hookups carry specific GFCI and disconnect requirements. We size and wire those installations to meet those requirements as part of the job. |
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades |
| Homes adding an EV charger, a major appliance, or a new addition, or any property with an undersized or aging panel | South Carolina's air conditioning demand puts real load on older panels. A load calculation on the call tells you whether the current service can carry what the property needs before any work is scheduled. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Homeowners adding outlets, updating older devices, or meeting code requirements in kitchens, baths, and garages | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations. If the existing outlets in those areas are not GFCI-protected, an upgrade brings the property into compliance. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Any room where a fan is being added or an old unit replaced | Older ceiling boxes are often not rated for a fan's weight and movement. We confirm the box is correct before mounting so the installation holds properly. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Homeowners dealing with a breaker that trips repeatedly or will not reset | A breaker that trips immediately after being reset usually points to a wiring fault or a failing breaker, not just an overloaded circuit. We confirm which before anything is replaced. |
| Wiring for Additions & Remodels |
| Homeowners finishing a basement, adding a room, or building a detached garage or workshop | Additions and remodels often require a permit and inspection. We confirm what applies at your address before the work starts so the job is done to the standard the inspector will check. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| Any home or business with an unexplained electrical symptom | A burning smell, sparking outlet, or section of the house with no power warrants a call the same day. Most faults trace to a specific point once the circuit is opened. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| Homeowners adding a Level 2 charger in a garage or driveway | We work through the load calculation on the call. If the panel does not have capacity for the added circuit, a panel upgrade may be part of the scope, and we confirm that before anything is scheduled. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Homeowners in Greenville County who want power during storm outages | A transfer switch is required for a safe hookup. It disconnects the home from the utility grid before the generator supplies power, which protects anyone working on the lines during an outage. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| Owners of pre-1980s homes in Greenville County with original or outdated wiring | Homes in this area were wired in different decades, and it shows in the panels. Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch circuit wiring are both common here and both require specific remediation approaches, not just a breaker swap. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| Homes in storm-prone areas or properties with sensitive electronics and appliances | A plug-in strip protects one outlet. A panel-level device covers every circuit in the building from a single installation point, including hardwired appliances a strip cannot reach. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners remodeling, improving security lighting, or replacing outdated fixtures | Outdoor circuits require weatherproof boxes, correct conduit, and proper grounding. We run a dedicated circuit where the lighting load calls for one. |
