C E Barton Electric handles the complete electrical side of your standby generator installation: automatic transfer switch, load management, dedicated circuits and utility coordination. We work with Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton and Cummins systems.
We serve Burnsville and nearby communities such as Bunnlevel, Burgaw, Burlington and Butner. Because our electricians work in Burnsville 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 Burnsville customers never see surprise charges.

“Honest advice. They told me I didn't need a full panel upgrade for my EV charger — just a load manager — and saved me a lot of money.”
“Emergency call on a Sunday for a burning smell at the panel. They found a failing breaker and replaced it before it became a fire.”
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.
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.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Burnsville homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
