Hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms knock out power across North Carolina every year. A whole house standby generator keeps your North Carolina 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 North Carolina, NC.
Looking for a backup generator electrician in North Carolina? 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.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most North Carolina homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
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.
Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in North Carolina, NC, and we also install Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton systems.
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.
Most standby generator electrical installations in North Carolina are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
