Working in Rock Hill
Rock Hill is where J&E Electric started in 2008 and where most of our jobs are. Inside the city limits, the City of Rock Hill issues electrical permits and does the inspections, and its rules are strict. A homeowner may not do their own electrical remodel or repair work, and adding outlets or lights, or installing or replacing wiring, needs a permit. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
The city also runs its own electric utility, Rock Hill Utilities, which serves the city and the area around it. If your whole house or business has lost power, or part of it has, the city asks you to call Rock Hill Utilities before you call an electrician, because the fault may be on the utility side of the meter. If it turns out to be on your side, call us.
Service upgrades are the job people underestimate. The city notes that upgrading a home's electrical service triggers other upgrades to the electrical system, so our estimate covers everything the upgrade touches, not just the new panel.
You can check our South Carolina license, M110118, on the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation licensee lookup. Rock Hill is about 25 miles south of Charlotte, which is why we hold a North Carolina license too.
Panel and service upgrades in Rock Hill
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. Most properties in the city get power from Rock Hill Utilities, and a few areas are on York Electric Cooperative. The utility has to disconnect and reconnect for a service upgrade, and the city notes that a service upgrade triggers other upgrades, so our estimate covers everything it touches. Panel upgrades
EV charger installation in Rock Hill
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. Inside the city limits, a licensed contractor must do the work and pull the permit. We pull it and meet the city inspector. EV charger installation
Whole-home generators in Rock Hill
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 the City of Rock Hill. Generator installation
Smoke and CO detectors in Rock Hill
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 Rock Hill homes
Inside the city limits, a homeowner may not do their own electrical repair work, and adding outlets or lights needs a permit. We fix switches and outlets that stop working, add GFCI protection, and install lighting and ceiling fans, with an estimate before any work starts. Residential electrical services
