Welcome to Charleston Electric, the electrician that specializes in residential wiring and generators. We are electrical contractors that serve the Charleston, Ladson, Summerville and Goose Creek, South Carolina areas.

"After being told by family how good Charleston Electric was, maybe I just had high hopes. I requested a quote for a 200amp panel upgrade and Chris came out as scheduled and was very friendly and personable. He told me he'd have a quote to me within a couple days. 2 days passed with no update so I called and spoke with Summer. She assured me I'd have a quote ready by the end of the next day. 2 more days go by with no update. I call again and am told it shouldn't be much longer. I wait another full day and nothing. Now when I call no one answers on 2 different occasions, 2 separate days/times, no response. I finally got them on the phone again today and again, she assured me I would at least get a call back. They are now closed and nothing. Unfortunately even established companies lie consistently. Almost 2 weeks wasted. Thank you."

"Stay away! I hired these guys Stan and his crew of untrained laborers to wire a $40,000 job for a commercial building. They were paid all their money and then when the electricity got turned on literally none of it worked. Then he spent hours complaining like a child that it was the Insulation guy?s fault because they can?t access the wires which is absolute insane. Literally none of his electrical worked and is now trying to charge me $8000 to fix his incompetence. I would never ever ever work with these people again."

The owner, Brian, is tremendously knowledgeable and his employees are well trained, very polite and professional, and provide excellent service. Sam, the last electrician from C & B Electrical who came to replace our ceiling fan, did a superior job with what could have been a tough job: installing a ceiling fan in a pine-panelled ceiling and getting it to look like it was the perfect match and always there! We were very impressed with his skill and he was exceptionally nice, as well. We are very glad we found this company on Angi's List 2 years ago and have used them ever since."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

An undersized whole-house generator has the potential to overheat and shut down when you try to run a central AC system. This scenario can not only damage the whole-house generator, but can also trip your home’s breakers or cause electrical damage. To avoid this situation, hire a local generator installer to correctly size your whole-house generator.

Yes, natural gas generators can work without electricity. Natural gas generators are a common type of backup or whole-house generator that operates when the electrical grid isn’t working. The trick is using a transfer switch (which usually needs to be installed with the generator) that safely switches the home electrical system from the power grid to generator power when needed.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

If you’re wondering whether gas generators produce carbon monoxide, know that natural gas generators do not produce carbon monoxide if they are functioning properly, as natural gas burns cleanly. However, if the generator malfunctions and the gas does not burn completely, there is potential for carbon dioxide to be produced. To prevent malfunctions, it's crucial to perform regular maintenance, including running the generator weekly and scheduling professional inspections every 6 to 12 months. Also, be sure to test your carbon monoxide detectors regularly to ensure they function in the rare case of the generator producing carbon monoxide.

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.
