Whole house standby & Generac generator installs for homes and businesses in Bath, NC. Trusted local electricians, upfront pricing and same-day scheduling available.
Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your Bath home running — HVAC, refrigerator, well pump, medical equipment and Wi-Fi — automatically within seconds of an outage. C E Barton Electric installs and wires standby generators throughout Bath, NC.
We serve Bath and nearby communities such as Barnardsville, Barnesville, Bat Cave and Battleboro. Because our electricians work in Bath every week, we know the local permit process, the common wiring styles found in the area's homes and the utility requirements that affect generator installation projects.
Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Bath customers never see surprise charges.
“Recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room completely changed our home. The crew was tidy, polite and finished ahead of schedule.”

“Rewired our 1950s bungalow with almost no drywall damage. They explained everything and kept the house livable the whole time.”
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Bath homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Most standby generator electrical installations in Bath are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.
Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Bath, NC, and we also install Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton systems.
A portable generator with a properly installed transfer switch and inlet is a safe, lower-cost option. Never backfeed a generator through a dryer outlet — it is dangerous to you and to utility workers.
