Weather damage, a damaged customer-owned enclosure or an unreliable service connection can require both electrical work and utility coordination.
Tell Guardian what changed, when the problem started and which locations or pieces of equipment are affected. We serve homes and businesses in Myrtle Beach , Carolina Forest and communities throughout Horry and Georgetown counties. A useful first message helps us establish the right diagnostic starting point.
We establish which equipment belongs to the property and which belongs to the utility, then define accessible service-equipment repairs and isolation requirements.
We agree the diagnostic scope and explain service-call or troubleshooting charges before booking. Access, equipment information and the number of affected locations influence the time needed. An intermittent fault may need more investigation than a consistently failed connection; describe any pattern without trying to reproduce an unsafe condition.
Utility-owned meters, seals and supply conductors are not automatically part of a contractor repair. Power interruptions and inspection requirements depend on the actual work and the responsible provider.
The findings guide the recommendation. If an accessible connection or compatible component can be corrected, the proposed repair identifies that work. If equipment condition, unavailable parts or a larger installation issue points toward replacement, we explain the alternative before you approve an expanded scope. A repair request does not commit you to replacing the entire system.
Photographs are optional. Take them only from a safe, accessible position with electrical covers left in place. For smoke, fire or immediate danger, move to safety and call 911. For urgent electrical assistance, call Guardian at (854) 237-4771 to discuss current availability.
For meter box repair, describe visible damage or the reported issue and identify the serving utility. Do not remove seals or open the equipment to gather information. Guardian reviews property-side electrical work and the utility coordination required before agreeing the scope and schedule.
A damaged meter socket may need a repair or replacement at the existing service capacity. Moving a meter changes routing and may affect the utility’s approved location and access. Increasing capacity requires a review of the supply, service conductors, disconnects, distribution equipment and the utility connection; a new meter base alone does not accomplish it.
Overhead service may involve a mast, attachment point and weather-exposed conductors, while an underground supply can involve different conduit and excavation responsibilities. The utility determines its side of the work. Guardian defines the customer-side electrical scope and coordinates it against the provider’s requirements for the address.
Keep away from loose service equipment, damaged conductors and downed lines. Do not touch, remove a meter or open sealed or protective equipment for a photograph. Report immediate hazards to the utility and emergency services as appropriate; contact Guardian about the customer-side repair once safe access and responsibilities can be established.

Not automatically. Repair or replacement and increasing service capacity are separate decisions. Share planned electrical loads so the complete supply can be reviewed.
Guardian offers free quotes for planned projects. A fault-finding visit or service call can involve a diagnostic charge, explained before booking. Access, equipment requirements and the work identified determine the proposed repair or installation scope.
Share the property address, the problem or project you have in mind, and equipment details when available. Photos of accessible equipment and the work area can help us plan the next step. Do not remove electrical covers or expose wiring to take photographs.
