Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your Newland 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 Newland, NC.
We serve Newland and nearby communities such as New Hill, New London, Newell and Newport. Because our electricians work in Newland 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 Newland customers never see surprise charges.

It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Newland 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 Newland, NC, and we also install Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton systems.
