Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your Seaboard 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 Seaboard, NC.
We serve Seaboard and nearby communities such as Scotts, Scottville, Scranton and Seagrove. Homeowners and businesses across Seaboard choose C E Barton Electric for generator installation because we combine the responsiveness of a local electrician with the depth of a full-service electrical contractor.
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 Seaboard customers never see surprise charges.
“Doorbell transformer upgrade fixed our video doorbell dropping offline. Quick, inexpensive and exactly what was needed.”
“Office build-out with dozens of workstations and a server room. Finished on schedule and the inspector had zero notes.”
“Recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room completely changed our home. The crew was tidy, polite and finished ahead of schedule.”
Most standby generator electrical installations in Seaboard are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.

Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Seaboard, 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 Seaboard 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.
