ON THE JOB NOW

A 400-amp lake house on full standby power.

This one is in Salem. The house has a 400-amp service, so it takes two 200-amp automatic transfer switches and a 28kW Generac to carry it. That is a week of work for a crew.

It is the kind of project we are set up for now. We have more hands on the job and a van stocked for it, so we stay on one house until it is finished and inspected.

  • Two 200-amp automatic transfer switches, mounted and wired side by side
  • 28kW Generac standby generator on its own pad
  • Permit, inspection and startup handled

LAKE KEOWEE · THE CLIFFS · KEOWEE KEY · THE RESERVE

The electrician Lake Keowee homeowners call.

Waterfront homes ask more of their wiring, dock lifts, shore power, outdoor lighting, standby generators, EV charging, and specialty equipment. I specialize in the electrical work Lake Keowee, The Cliffs communities, Keowee Key, and the Reserve at Lake Keowee homeowners actually need: clean installs, permitted where required, and the kind of finish that matches a well-built home.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps from your first call to done.

1

Call or request a quote

Call, text, or send a message. Describe the project and send a couple of photos if you have them. Most of the time I can give a ballpark before ever driving out.

2

A fixed written quote

Written estimate with real line items. No “we’ll see when we get there” pricing. Bigger projects get a site visit first, so the number holds.

3

Scheduled work, done right

Job scheduled around you. Permits pulled where required, inspections handled, and the site left cleaner than I found it. You get paperwork in hand at closeout.

WHY SUNSET ELECTRIC

A crew built for real projects. The owner still answers the phone.

Sunset Electric started as one electrician and a truck. It is a crew now, which means we can put the hours into a 400-amp service, a whole-home standby system or a commercial build-out and stay on it until it passes inspection. You still deal with me directly. I quote the job, I am on site, and I answer the phone.

Multimeter icon

Licensed & fully insured

South Carolina Electrical Contractor License #CLM118131. Full liability coverage. Permits pulled where required.

Electrical wiring icon

Clear pricing, no surprises

Written estimates before work begins. No “while I’m here” upsells. No line items that appear after the fact.

Electrician tool belt icon

Owner on site

You talk to the same person who quotes the job, runs the crew, and is still there if you need to call back six months later.

Screwdriver icon

Clean job sites

Drop cloths down, vacuum when we leave, wall patches where we can. You should hardly know we were there.

Joseph was on time, knowledgeable, and thorough. He went above and beyond what was required. He even came back a few days later to repair an issue he found, a mistake made by an electrician years ago. I highly recommend him.

Joe was able to solve a crazy electrical mystery in our home that a few people in the past that looked at it could not figure out. Good company and experience.
