Looking for a backup generator electrician in Highfalls? 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 Highfalls and nearby communities such as Hiddenite, High Point, High Shoals and Highlands. Because our electricians work in Highfalls 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 Highfalls customers never see surprise charges.
“Recommended by a neighbor and now I understand why. Responsive, knowledgeable and respectful of our home.”
“Fast, fair and friendly. Added six outlets and two dimmers in the basement — looks like it was always there.”
“The electrician replaced our old smoke detectors with interconnected units and installed a video doorbell. Thorough and reasonably priced.”
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Highfalls 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.
