Your local electrician in
Murrells Inlet, SC.

Keep everyday work moving.

Adding equipment to a business is more than finding an empty outlet. The supply, equipment requirements and work area need to be considered together. Guardian can help plan dedicated circuits and lighting, troubleshoot existing problems, or discuss electrical improvements at home.

Equipment changes and maintenance visits

For a business, share the equipment model or nameplate information, working hours and any shutdown restrictions. For a home, tell us about the affected rooms or new appliance. If you need repeated visits, our maintenance plans offer scheduled checks with written findings; repairs and replacement parts are quoted separately.

Plan repairs and equipment additions

At home, we can discuss a ceiling fan replacement, GFCI outlet problem or recessed lighting without turning the request into a full renovation. Tell us what is already installed and what you want to change.

For a business adding equipment, send its electrical specifications before choosing a circuit. Compare dedicated equipment circuits, commercial lighting and tenant buildouts. Identify the equipment that must keep running, the person who authorizes downtime and any planned change in the use of the space.

Resolve the county and any change of tenant early

Use the full property address when establishing the permitting office. Georgetown County Building Department identifies its service area as unincorporated county projects and publishes change-of-tenant resources. Horry County Code Enforcement handles its unincorporated county area.

For a new business occupant, include the intended use as well as the equipment list. Ask the applicable office about the property and overall project before promising an opening date. Guardian can then coordinate the electrical scope with the owner, equipment installer and other trades.

Equipment near water needs its own plan

Where a property includes a dock, boat lift, pool or spa, use the dedicated guide for that installation. Dock and boat-lift electrical work addresses the supply, controls and exposed equipment; pool electrical work and hot-tub connections address their own equipment and protection. For an occupied business, equipment controls and fault diagnosis also require an agreed shutdown and restart plan.

Weather exposure and outdoor electrical equipment

For marshside or exterior equipment, describe the exposure and any corrosion, damaged covers or history of water reaching the installation. A dock, lift or waterfront circuit has a different scope from an indoor receptacle. We assess the proposed use and existing equipment before recommending the electrical work.

For a storm-related issue, tell us whether the problem affects only your property or the surrounding area. National Weather Service lightning safety guidance explains why surge protection is not a guarantee against a direct lightning strike. For fire, smoke, injury or immediate danger, move to safety and call 911.
