Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your Skyland 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 Skyland, NC.
We serve Skyland and nearby communities such as Siloam, Simpson, Sims and Smithfield. Homeowners and businesses across Skyland 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 Skyland customers never see surprise charges.

Most standby generator electrical installations in Skyland are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
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.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Skyland homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
