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 Wilkesboro, including Downtown Wilkesboro and Moravian Falls area, plus the surrounding communities. Because our electricians work in Wilkesboro 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 Wilkesboro 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.
