About this service
Tell us about your project
Build an equipment schedule before installation
Provide the model, voltage, phase and electrical rating for each oven, fryer, dishwasher, ice machine and refrigeration unit. Similar-looking appliances may require different supplies. A replacement may need more than reconnecting the old circuit. We review disconnects, protective equipment and available distribution along with the appliance requirements.

A CLEAR PLAN FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION
What the work involves
Match the circuit to the equipment
Review the model number, electrical rating and existing supply before choosing wiring or protection.
Plan the connection and cable route
Confirm the mounting or outlet location, access, disconnects and any work through finished areas.
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.

Cooking, refrigeration and cleaning create different demands
Electric cooking can create substantial connected loads. Refrigeration and compressors have operating and starting needs; dishwashing equipment may include heaters or booster equipment with separate electrical requirements. Ice machines and countertop appliances need suitable connections for their location. Coordinating those details early helps avoid discovering a supply mismatch after delivery.
Sequence work around the restaurant
We identify affected refrigeration, food-service operations, POS equipment and lighting before a shutdown. The site contact establishes access and the return-to-service plan. For a remodel or tenant buildout, equipment layout, exhaust systems, finishes and vendor startup should be coordinated while the space is accessible.
Repair and maintenance work
Intermittent trips and lost equipment power need diagnosis of the circuit and appliance conditions. Moisture, damaged connections or an equipment fault can require different remedies. We do not bypass protective devices to keep an appliance running. Equipment repair, refrigeration service and fire-suppression work remain clearly assigned when another specialist is required.
Send the equipment schedule, floor plan if available, and operating hours. Routing, distribution changes, access and interruption constraints determine the electrical price.

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
Will the old circuit work for a replacement fryer?
It must be checked against the new equipment’s instructions and electrical rating. A matching location or plug does not prove that the supply is suitable.
Can you quote a kitchen before equipment is chosen?
We can discuss the project, but a reliable electrical scope needs the proposed equipment requirements. Final selections can change capacity and connection work.
Can the existing outlet power my new equipment if the plug fits?
A matching plug does not establish that an existing circuit is suitable for new equipment. We review the model’s supply requirements, circuit condition and protection. Voltage, the electrical supply level, and current requirements both matter.
Does this equipment need its own dedicated circuit?
The equipment instructions, electrical demand and applicable rules determine the circuit arrangement. A dedicated circuit, a separate supply for particular equipment, can avoid overloading a shared circuit. Share the model information before purchasing or scheduling.
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.
