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 Engelhard and nearby communities such as Elon, Emerald Isle, Enfield and Enka. Because our electricians work in Engelhard 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 Engelhard customers never see surprise charges.

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.

It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Engelhard homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
