Many older homes in the Hickory area have wiring that may not meet the demands of modern appliances and electronics, which can be a safety concern. Our team at Hickory Electric is experienced in evaluating and updating aging residential electrical systems.

Installing a home EV charging station starts with a safety and capacity inspection of your existing electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load. Our certified electricians will then run the proper wiring from your panel to your desired location, typically a garage or driveway, and install a dedicated outlet or hardwired charging unit. We handle all permits and ensure the installation meets national and local electrical codes, giving you a safe, convenient way to power your vehicle right at home.

A common issue we see with standby generators in our area is a malfunctioning automatic transfer switch, which is the device that safely switches your home's power from the utility line to the generator. Our technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing transfer switch problems, as well as performing general maintenance to keep your generator ready for our unpredictable Carolina weather. We ensure the entire system operates correctly and safely, so you have reliable backup power when you need it most.
