What should I expect during a Mr. Electric service call, and how do you ensure my home stays up to code?

At Mr. Electric, we don’t just "fix" a problem; we manage your home’s electrical health through a standardized, safety-first process. From the moment our uniformed, background-checked service professionals arrive, you can expect a transparent and thorough experience designed around the National Electrical Code (NEC). Here is the professional standard for every service call: The Complimentary Home Safety Check-Up: Every service call includes a comprehensive visual inspection of your home’s entire electrical system. We examine your main electrical panel for loose wires, "double taps," and signs of oxidation or arcing. We also verify that your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are functional and within their 10-year service life. Transparent Upfront Pricing: Before any work begins, we provide a detailed, flat-rate quote. We don't believe in hidden fees or hourly surprises; you’ll know the exact investment required for the repair or installation before we even pick up a screwdriver. NEC Compliance & Permitting: Whether we are installing a dedicated 240V circuit for an EV charger or upgrading a kitchen with GFCI outlets, our work is performed to the highest industry standards. We handle the paperwork, applying for all necessary local permits and scheduling the final inspections to ensure your home remains insurable and safe. The Mr. Electric Advantage Plan ® Advantage: For homeowners looking for long-term peace of mind, our Advantage Plan members receive priority scheduling, a dedicated record of all maintenance performed (crucial for home resale value), and an annual, in-depth safety evaluation.

What should I do if I have an electrical emergency in Cayce?

Stop using the affected circuit immediately. If you see sparking, smell burning, or notice a breaker that won't reset, shut off power to that area at your main panel if you can do so safely. Do not attempt to open the panel or investigate wiring yourself. Call us right away.

How do electrical panel upgrades work for Cayce homes?

An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main service panel, typically to increase capacity from 100-amp service to 200-amp service or higher. Many Cayce homes built before the 1990s are running on panels that were never designed to handle today's electrical loads, including EV chargers, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. The process starts with an assessment of your current panel, service entrance, and load requirements. We pull the required permit through Lexington County or the City of Cayce, complete the installation, and schedule the inspection. Most panel upgrades take one day. Your power is off only during the switchover, typically for a few hours.

Do you install EV chargers in Cayce, SC?

Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers for residential properties throughout Cayce and the surrounding area. A Level 2 charger operates on a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit and charges most electric vehicles overnight. If your panel doesn't have the capacity for a new dedicated circuit, we assess your options before any work begins. We handle the full installation, including the circuit, breaker, and the charger unit itself, and we pull the required electrical permit. EV charger installation is one of the most requested upgrades we see in the Cayce and Lexington area as more households switch to electric vehicles.
