"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."

"I would highly recommend this contractor. He was hired to install a home generator. He was professional and completed the job in an acceptable time. He came to my home & advised me what kind of generator I needed, gave me a quote (which I thought was very reasonable), ordered it & had it delivered to my home. Once delivered, he & his crew installed & tested it to make sure it operated correctly. They cleaned up after themselves, took away all debris. Everything was accomplished very quickly & the pro gave me good instructions on how to use it along with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Thank you, Dreamworld and thank you, Angi for recommending this pro."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Charleston, annual electrical inspections are recommended due to the city's humid, coastal environment, which can accelerate corrosion and moisture damage. The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation suggests checking outdoor enclosures and surge protectors before hurricane season. Regularly inspect seals and fasteners for rust, and test backup generators if installed. Proactive maintenance helps ensure ongoing safety and compliance with Charleston electrical codes.

Helpful?

In Charleston, frequent mistakes include skipping required permits, using non-corrosion-resistant materials, and overloading circuits—especially during hurricane season. Ignoring flickering lights or failing to seal outdoor boxes can lead to moisture intrusion and fire hazards. The City of Charleston Building Department stresses the importance of using dedicated circuits for large appliances and promptly addressing warning signs. Consulting a licensed local electrician helps avoid costly and dangerous errors.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Charleston, choose corrosion-resistant wiring and weatherproof enclosures to withstand the coastal humidity and salt exposure. Stainless steel fasteners and whole-house surge protectors are strongly recommended, especially for hurricane preparedness. Local electrical suppliers often provide custom wire cutting and generator rentals, which are essential for Charleston's climate. Always confirm materials meet Charleston electrical codes for safety and compliance.

Helpful?

DIY electrical work in Charleston may seem cost-effective for minor repairs, but risks include failing local inspections, violating Charleston electrical codes, and safety hazards. Hiring a licensed Charleston electrician ensures compliance with city permitting and inspection requirements, especially for complex projects. According to the City of Charleston Building Department, most electrical work must be performed by licensed professionals. For anything beyond basic fixture replacement, professional help is strongly advised.

Helpful?

In Charleston, most electrical projects—including panel upgrades and new wiring—require an electrical permit issued by the City of Charleston Building Department. Licensed electricians must submit detailed plans and proof of credentials. Inspections are mandatory at key stages, as outlined by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. Working without a permit can result in fines and delays in restoring power, so always verify requirements before starting.
