Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your Cherokee 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 Cherokee, NC.
We serve Cherokee and nearby communities such as Chadbourn, Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Cherry Point.

We price by the job, not the hour. After a quick on-site evaluation, your electrician explains your options — good, better and best where applicable — and gives you a clear total.
