Whole house standby & Generac generator installs for homes and businesses in Hudson, 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 Hudson 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 Hudson, NC.
We serve Hudson and nearby communities such as Horse Shoe, Hot Springs, Hubert and Huntersville. Because our electricians work in Hudson 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 Hudson customers never see surprise charges.

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.
