Residential & Commercial Electrical Services in Charleston, SC
From troubleshooting a troublesome circuit to full commercial tenant build-outs, panel upgrades, and EV chargers, Wavecrest delivers code-certified electrical craftsmanship with prompt communication.
Residential Electrical Diagnostics & Repairs
Whether you're dealing with dead wall plugs, lights that flicker intermittently, or circuits that trip every time you run the microwave, we provide meticulous troubleshooting. We trace wiring faults, repair or replace damaged receptacles, install tamper-resistant outlets, and verify full ground integrity.
Electrical Panel Upgrades & Subpanels
Many older homes across Charleston, West Ashley, and Mount Pleasant still rely on outdated 100A panels or obsolete fuse blocks that can no longer handle today's heavy electric loads. We upgrade services to modern 200A panels with whole-home surge protection, clean labeling, and room for future expansions.
Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Installation
Good lighting changes how you experience your living space. From recessed LED can lighting with smart dimmers to dramatic outdoor landscape lighting that highlights Charleston palmettos, we design and install clean fixtures with concealed wiring and energy-efficient fixtures.

Signs You Need an Electrician Promptly
Electrical issues often start small before becoming serious hazards. If you notice any of these warnings in your home or facility, give us a call for a thorough diagnostic.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Often indicates loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or incoming voltage fluctuations that could damage electronics.
Constantly Tripping Breakers
Circuit breakers exist to prevent wire overheating. Repeated trips mean the circuit is dangerously overloaded or failing.
Outlets Warm to the Touch
No outlet or switch plate should ever feel hot. Warmth signals arcing or deteriorating internal connections.
Buzzing, Humming, or Sizzling Sounds
Electricity should operate silently. Audible buzzing usually means arcing or a compromised switch mechanism.
Burning Smell or Discoloration
Brownish scorch marks around receptacles or an acrid fishy/plastic smell is an urgent warning sign. Turn off the breaker immediately.
Outdated 60A/100A Fuse Box or Panel
Older Lowcountry homes frequently have panels that cannot safely power modern appliances, HVAC, or EV equipment.
