Whole house standby & Generac generator installs for homes and businesses in Greensboro, 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 Greensboro 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 Greensboro, NC.
We serve every neighborhood in Greensboro, including Starmount, Sunset Hills, Irving Park and Friendly Center, plus the surrounding communities. Because our electricians work in Greensboro 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 Greensboro customers never see surprise charges.

“We had flickering lights for months and two other companies couldn't find the cause. These guys traced it to a loose neutral in an hour.”
“Our chandelier in the two-story foyer was hung perfectly. They brought the right equipment and were done in a couple of hours.”
Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Greensboro, NC, and we also install Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton systems.

It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Greensboro 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.
