About this service
Tell us about your project
Level 2 and DC fast charging serve different uses
Level 2 AC charging can suit vehicles parked for longer periods. DC fast charging provides a different charging approach and can involve much larger infrastructure demands. Vehicle compatibility, time available to charge and the energy needed between trips influence selection. Faster equipment is not automatically the best fit for a workplace, hotel or fleet depot.
A CLEAR PLAN FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION
What the work involves
Review your vehicle and electrical capacity
Check the charger specifications, daily driving needs and available electrical capacity.
Plan the parking position and wiring route
Locate the charging equipment around cable reach, vehicle access and a suitable circuit route.
Confirm scope, permits and scheduling
We identify permit and inspection requirements for the property jurisdiction. Utility coordination is included when the work affects its equipment or supply. You receive the proposed scope before approving the work.
Complete the work and check operation
We complete the agreed electrical work, test the relevant installation and explain operation, findings and any follow-up. Required official inspections are a separate part of completion.

Guardian Electrical Contractors LLC · SC CLM.119159 · Serving Horry and Georgetown counties.
Define users and charging demand
List vehicle types, parking duration, expected daily use and future expansion. Fleet schedules and departure needs differ from occasional visitor use. For shared locations, discuss who may charge, how spaces are assigned and whether payment or access restrictions are needed. Charger count alone does not establish the site’s required electrical capacity.
Capacity, routes and civil work
Distribution, transformer or service review may be required. The utility establishes its supply responsibilities; the site plan addresses cable routes, parking layout, equipment protection and access. Load management can be an option for compatible systems after design review. Trenching, foundations, restoration and vendor startup must be assigned in the proposal.
Networked operation and handover
Public or managed charging may depend on communications, subscriptions and a charging-network account. Identify the owner of the account, the commissioning responsibilities and ongoing maintenance before purchasing equipment. The electrical installation and the commercial operation of a charging network are related but separate scopes.
Guardian handles commercial charging electrical projects with equipment, utility and project-specific requirements confirmed before work. Send a site layout, vehicle plan, charger specifications if selected, and the authorized property contact.
Planning work at your business
Send the drawings, equipment specifications, site address and target schedule for a scoped proposal. Identify the person authorized to approve the work and any landlord or property-management requirements.
- Access and interruptions: identify operating hours, restricted rooms and equipment that must remain available. Shutdowns and any phased or after-hours work must be agreed before scheduling.
- Bid requirements: share your insurance-document requests, site safety procedures, permit requirements and closeout checklist so we can confirm what the project needs.
- Scope and responsibility: identify who supplies equipment, coordinates other trades and approves changes. Ask about testing and completion documentation for the proposed work.

Service area, permits and scheduling
Inside city limits, the City of Myrtle Beach Construction Services Department handles electrical trade permits and inspections. In unincorporated Horry County, the relevant authority is Horry County Code Enforcement. The property jurisdiction and proposed scope determine the requirements; a Myrtle Beach mailing address alone does not establish the responsible department.
Santee Cooper serves Myrtle Beach customers. Utility coordination is needed only when the proposed work affects the utility supply or requires its involvement. Confirm the provider on your bill; service territories vary across the wider area.
Whether the property is in Carolina Forest, around The Market Common or along Kings Highway, share access and occupancy requirements early. Guardian serves all of Horry County and all of Georgetown County. We identify who is responsible for permits, power interruptions, other-trade work and completion checks in the proposed scope.
Project quotes are free; diagnostic and service-call charges are explained before booking. Guardian provides 24/7 electrical service; call to confirm current availability and scheduling. We offer a two-year installation warranty on everything we install; ask how it applies to the proposed work. View our license and credentials.
Your questions, answered
Do several chargers always require a service upgrade?
No. Existing capacity, use pattern, charger output and a compatible managed arrangement need evaluation.
Can you install any DC fast charger?
The equipment, infrastructure, design, vendor requirements and approvals must be reviewed for the project. We confirm the electrical scope before promising a particular installation.
Will a higher-rated EV charger always charge my car faster?
The vehicle, charger settings and available circuit all limit charging speed. We consider daily driving and parking time rather than assuming the highest possible setting is necessary.
Can my existing panel support EV charging without an upgrade?
Some properties can support the intended charging load without a service upgrade; others need changes. A load calculation, which evaluates electrical demand, helps establish the options. Compatible load management, a system that limits charging as other loads change, may be relevant for supported equipment.
Based in Myrtle Beach, Guardian serves all of Horry County and all of Georgetown County. See our service area and verify our South Carolina license.
