Whole house standby & Generac generator installs for homes and businesses in Carthage, 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 Carthage 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 Carthage, NC.
We serve Carthage and nearby communities such as Caroleen, Carolina Beach, Carrboro and Cary. Because our electricians work in Carthage 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 Carthage customers never see surprise charges.

Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Carthage, 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.
