"Paul was professional and very meticulous. Initially he came to my home to view the project and gave me a free estimate for the work to be done. I got on his schedule, and he was prompt in his arrival to include calling me once he was about 20 minutes from my house. Paul removed an old vanity light, skillfully patched up the hole and prepped the wall to install two new vanity lights in different locations. By doing this, he had to run two additional lines behind the drywall to provide power for the two vanity lights. The two vanity lights were precisely marked and placed evenly over each mirrow and sink. Paul also removed a wall outlet from the front wall, patched that hole and installed a new wall outlet on the side wall to make the vanity area look the same on both sides of each sink. The new side wall outlet required Paul to enter the crawl space to run a dedicated line up to it. Once all work was complete, everything thing was tested to ensure it was in excellent operating condition and safe. The area was cleaned including the counter space and the floor insuring nothing was left behind for a job well done. My next electrical job, I will definitely call Paul Higginbotham."

"We had a fine experience with these folks. Our house is old (1939), so all electrical work is challenging. They relocated a 220v outlet (which required work in the crawl space), added another 110v outlet, upgraded an outside outlet to GFCI, installed a new doorbell and a new ceiling light to replace an old one that was failing. Everything was done well and professionally. We ended up with a callback when one of the outlets needed to be relocated â and they responded promptly and efficiently. They came promptly, as scheduled, worked unobtrusively, and cleaned up effectively. Strongly recommend them."

"Shaun is absolutely the best. Don't waste your time looking elsewhere! I had a slightly unusual project, yet he was able to satisfy my request; obtained exactly the type of indoor surveillance equipment I wanted and did installation to perfection. He is polite, professional and an expert in his field . I plan to use him again for another project."

"They make life easy and projects exceptional. Grateful to have them in Lexington, SC! We worked with Palmetto Renovations from fall of 2023 through February of this year and we should have connected with their design specialty showroom and staff years ago as our home has never looked better. Our kitchen finally features real stone quartzite with a blend of stunning LVP waterproof flooring, elegant tiled backsplash and an entirely new lighting system from chandeliers to the under cabinet lighting. They replaced a window in the bay area to match the exterior clad. All trim was stained and by the time things were wrapped up, there were no imperfections to even address. It was an experience to brag about."

"Very well!  The box in the bathroom was old and corroded and needed to be replaced, which was a challenge due to the old tile still on the wall.  Dennis and Josh figured it out quickly and got the outlet installed.

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

Costs depend on generator type, labor, and additional wiring or transfer switch requirements.

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.

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

No, you should never plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your house. This practice is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and can cause "back-feeding," where power from the generator flows back into utility lines, creating a life-threatening hazard for utility workers. It can also damage your home's electrical system, including appliances like pumps and HVAC fans. If the main power is restored while the generator is connected, it can destroy the generator and cause an electrical fire. To safely connect a generator, you must use a professionally installed transfer switch or an interlocking kit, which prevents back-feeding by disconnecting your home from the utility grid before the generator provides power.
