Electrical work for mountain homes
Waynesville sits well above 2,500 feet, and many Haywood County homes are on steep, wooded lots at the end of long drives. Hurricane Helene in 2024 was a hard reminder of how long mountain power outages can last.
That's why a properly installed generator inlet and interlock is one of the most useful upgrades for homes here. It lets you run the circuits you choose from a portable generator without back-feeding the utility's lines or running extension cords through a window.
In town, including Hazelwood and the neighborhoods around downtown, we also handle everyday repairs, panel upgrades and planned rewiring for older homes.

Generator connections
A generator inlet and interlock let you run the circuits you choose from a portable generator, safely, when the power is out.
