Working in Charlotte
Rock Hill is about 25 miles south of Charlotte. Ballantyne, the 2,000-acre development along the South Carolina border that started in 1992, is closer to us than it is to uptown, and South Charlotte and Pineville are the areas we reach fastest.
Permits and inspections across Mecklenburg County, including the City of Charlotte and the six towns, are handled by Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement rather than by the city. A permit is required to install, extend, alter or repair an electrical system. We hold a North Carolina license, 27147-U, so we pull the permit as the contractor and schedule the inspection.
Ballantyne and the neighborhoods around it were developed from the early 1990s, so many homes there are now approaching thirty years old. That is the age when panels run out of space, fans and fixtures get replaced, and kitchens and bathrooms get remodeled. Send a photo of the panel with the form and we can usually tell you what you are looking at before we come out.
Panel and service upgrades in Charlotte
A new panel typically runs $2,400 for 100 amps to $3,800 for 200 amps. Moving up to 200 amp service with a new meter base runs $3,800 to $5,600. Charlotte is on Duke Energy, which has to disconnect and reconnect the power for a service upgrade. Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues the permit and does the inspection, and we pull it under our North Carolina license, 27147-U. Panel upgrades
EV charger installation in Charlotte
Most Level 2 charger installs run $750 to $1,800, depending on the distance from the panel and whether the panel has room for a new 240-volt circuit. Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues the permit for the new circuit. When you hire a contractor, the contractor applies for it, so we handle the permit and the inspection. EV charger installation
Whole-home generators in Charlotte
Most whole-home standby generator installs run $15,999 to $18,999. We install the generator and the automatic transfer switch, and for a natural gas or propane unit we hire a licensed plumber for the gas line. Connecting a generator to the house wiring needs a permit and an inspection from Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement. Generator installation
Smoke and CO detectors in Charlotte
Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors run $149 to $199 each, installed. We replace old hardwired detectors, add detectors where the house has none, and walk the house with you to show where each one goes. Smoke and CO detector installation
Outlets, lighting and fans in Charlotte homes
In Mecklenburg County a permit is needed to add to, alter or repair permanent wiring. Many homes in Ballantyne and the neighborhoods around it are now close to thirty years old, the age when fans and fixtures get replaced and panels run out of space. We give you an estimate before any work starts. Residential electrical services
