Breaker Panel & Service Upgrades:
Outdated or undersized panels are a top cause of tripped breakers, flickering lights, and safety risks—especially in older Upstate homes.
Signs you may need a panel upgrade:
- Your breaker keeps tripping, or fuses blow often
- The panel is warm, buzzing, or smells burnt
- You’ve added new appliances or remodeled
- Your home still has an original fuse box or very old breaker panel
PECO handles everything: safe panel removal, new panel and meter base installation, full permitting and inspection, and documentation for insurance or home sale records. We’ll also add surge protection and discuss options for future-ready power—so your home grows with you.
Dock & Outbuilding Electrical:
Lake Keowee and Lake Hartwell homes trust PECO for reliable dock power, boat lift wiring, and lakeside lighting. We install and service dock panels, GFCIs, and outdoor lighting that stands up to water and weather. Have an outbuilding or workshop that needs power or lighting? We wire those too.
Whole-House Surge Protection:
With storms and rural power lines common in Upstate SC, whole-home surge protection is critical to protect electronics, appliances, and sensitive equipment. PECO installs code-compliant surge protectors at your main panel for full-house coverage.

Local, Trusted & Ready 24/7:
"We hired PECO Heating & Cooling for Electrical work. We had a ceiling fan installed and four electrical outlets installed. Two of the outlets were recessed.
Joey Thompson was our electrician and he did an outstanding job. He was punctual, reliable and had a great attention to detail. Very professional and explained everything to me, giving me my options, etc. I appreciate the fact they have a standard rate for each service, so it makes it easy.
Scheduling your appointment was simple. I went to the website, entered all the information and selected my time. Very efficient. Prices were reasonable.
I have additional work that will be done early next year and they will be the first people I call. You should too!"
