Electricians · the Lowcountry
Older island houses and brand-new subdivisions ask different things of an electrician. A 1980s Hilton Head villa may still have its original panel and outdoor wiring that has spent decades in salt air. Newer homes around Bluffton and Hardeeville are more likely to need added circuits, porch and outdoor lighting, and car chargers. Storm season brings its own list: generator hookups, transfer switches and interlocks.
Ask for the state license number and whether the electrician handles the permit. For backup power, Wade Banks breaks down whole-house generator costs, install included.
Outdoor boxes, meter bases and anything near the water corrode faster than people expect. Before quoting new work, I'd want the electrician to open the exterior panel and look. Salt doesn't care how nice the kitchen is.
