West Ashley electricians
Powerkiings Electrical
West Ashley, the part of Charleston across the Ashley River from the peninsula, is where the area's first suburbs were built after World War II. Those mid-century neighborhoods are now some of the most popular places to buy and renovate, and Powerkiings Electrical does a lot of that renovation work.
Homeowners in neighborhoods like Byrnes Downs, Avondale and Windermere call us to update the wiring, outlets and panels in older homes, and to add the lighting that makes a renovated kitchen or living room feel new. Further out, in neighborhoods like Shadowmoss and Carolina Bay, it's more often lighting upgrades, panel work and additions.
West Ashley is minutes from the rest of our service area, and we schedule work here Monday through Friday.
Local conditions
Electrical Conditions in West Ashley
Byrnes Downs and Avondale date to the 1940s and 1950s, and much of West Ashley was built between the 1960s and the 1980s. Homes from those years often need updates to electrical, plumbing and HVAC, and electrical updates are best done during a renovation, while walls and ceilings are open.
Common findings in older West Ashley homes include two-prong outlets, too few kitchen circuits, small or aging panels and past DIY additions. We identify these during the walkthrough and include the fixes in your quote so there are no surprises mid-project.
Most of West Ashley is in the City of Charleston, with some areas in unincorporated Charleston County, so permits go through the office that covers your address.

Pricing & scheduling
Electrical Costs and Scheduling in West Ashley
Renovation electrical in West Ashley is priced around the condition of the existing system. If the panel is full or outdated, or the kitchen shares one circuit with half the house, those updates are part of doing the job right, and they're in your quote from the start.
On the plus side, many single-story West Ashley ranches have easy attic access, which keeps lighting retrofits efficient. Call (843) 926-4219 to book a walkthrough. We schedule West Ashley work Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I update the electrical when I renovate my West Ashley home?

Can you replace two-prong outlets in my older home?
Yes, using a code-compliant method such as adding a ground or GFCI protection. We'll explain the options.
Do you work in Byrnes Downs and Avondale?
Yes, along with Windermere, Moreland, Shadowmoss, Carolina Bay and the rest of West Ashley.
Can you add recessed lighting to my ranch house?
Yes. Single-story ranches with attic access are usually great candidates for recessed lighting.
