When a commercial property loses power, the clock starts immediately. SouthTech Electric provides emergency electrical response across the Lowcountry and Midlands for power loss, failed equipment circuits, burning smells, and other conditions that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment.
Call the number and you get a licensed electrician, not a dispatcher taking a message. We handle everyone as fast as we can safely get there.
What We Respond To
-
Partial or total power loss
Diagnosis from the service entrance inward to find the actual failure point rather than swapping parts.
-
Failed equipment circuits
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, HVAC, and other circuits whose failure stops the business.
-
Burning smells, arcing, and heat damage
Conditions that represent an active fire risk and need immediate isolation.
-
Repeated breaker trips
Finding the root cause — overload, short, or ground fault — instead of resetting and hoping.
-
Storm and water damage
Post-storm assessment and repair of damaged service equipment, a recurring reality on the coast.
Before You Call
- If you smell burning or see arcing, cut power at the main if you can do so safely, and call immediately.
- Note which circuits are affected — it meaningfully shortens diagnosis time.
- If the outage is area-wide, check with the utility first; we will tell you honestly if the problem is not on your side of the meter.
- One licensed contractor on the call, accountable for the diagnosis and the fix.
