Company Overview

Founded in 1940, Haywood Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) is a member-owned electric cooperative serving rural Western North Carolina, including Waynesville, and parts of Georgia and South Carolina. It began when local residents, unable to get service from private utilities, organized to bring electricity to their communities through the Rural Electrification Administration. Today, governed by a democratically elected Board of Directors, Haywood EMC provides reliable electric service to approximately 27,000 meters. Beyond power delivery, their team of qualified electricians offers essential services for local homes and businesses, including electrical inspections, repairs, installations, and expert generator installation and maintenance. They are committed to the safety and electrical well-being of the member-owners they serve.

Questions and Answers

As a Haywood EMC member in Waynesville, can you help with frequent arc fault breaker trips?

Yes, absolutely. Our licensed electricians are familiar with the electrical demands of older and newer homes in the Waynesville area. Frequent arc fault breaker trips often signal a potential safety hazard, like a wiring fault or a damaged cord. We can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the specific cause—whether it's in an outlet, switch, or appliance circuit—and perform the necessary repairs to restore safe, reliable operation and prevent nuisance tripping.

Does Haywood EMC offer generator installation for homes in Western NC?

Yes, we provide professional generator installation and repair services. Given our region's weather, having a backup power source is a common concern. Our technicians can assess your home's power needs, recommend an appropriately sized standby or portable generator, and handle the full installation, including safe connection to your home's electrical panel and compliance with all local codes. We also offer maintenance and repair services to ensure your generator is ready when you need it most.

What sets an electric cooperative like Haywood EMC apart from other electrical service providers?

Haywood EMC is a not-for-profit cooperative owned by its members. This means we're not driven by shareholder profits; our primary focus is providing reliable, affordable, and safe service to our member-owners in communities like Waynesville. Members have a direct voice through a locally elected Board of Directors. While our core service is delivering electricity, our team of electricians extends this commitment to safety and reliability through our wiring, repair, and generator services for your home or business.
