A whole house standby generator keeps your Graham 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 Graham, NC.
We serve Graham and nearby communities such as Gold Hill, Goldsboro, Goldston and Grandy. Homeowners and businesses across Graham choose C E Barton Electric for generator installation because we combine the responsiveness of a local electrician with the depth of a full-service electrical contractor.
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 Graham customers never see surprise charges.
“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.”
“Called at 9 PM when an outlet started sparking. Someone was at the house within the hour and had it safely fixed. Could not ask for better service.”
“Rewired our 1950s bungalow with almost no drywall damage. They explained everything and kept the house livable the whole time.”
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Graham homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Graham, 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.
Most standby generator electrical installations in Graham are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
