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 every neighborhood in Murphy, including Downtown Murphy and Bear Paw, plus the surrounding communities. Because our electricians work in Murphy 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 Murphy customers never see surprise charges.

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