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 Chapel Hill customers never see surprise charges.
“Our breaker panel was over 40 years old and the electrician walked me through every option before we chose a 200 amp upgrade. Clean install, passed inspection the first time.”
“LED retrofit in our warehouse cut the lighting bill nearly in half. The crew worked around our shifts without a single disruption.”
“Fast, fair and friendly. Added six outlets and two dimmers in the basement — looks like it was always there.”
Most standby generator electrical installations in Chapel Hill are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Chapel Hill homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
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.
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.
