“… Everything was quoted based on pictures. Once the electrician was onsite he saw a way to reduce the quote for one of the jobs so we end up paying much less. …”

Lowcountry ready
Ready before the storm, and checked before trouble starts.
Hurricane-season ready
Get the electrical side done before the next outage, so the generator you own can safely power what matters.
- Generator inlets and interlock kits
- Transfer switches
- AC soft starters, so your AC can run on a portable generator or limited power
- Whole-home surge protection, with a group discount when neighbors install together
You supply the generator. If a gas line is needed, we can refer a plumber.
A whole-home safety checkup
Our $499 preventative maintenance package looks for problems before they leave you in the dark.
- Panel tune-up: every connection checked and loose screws tightened
- Thermal imaging test for hot spots on failing parts
- Full home load test, ground rod test and GFCI testing
- Smoke alarm aging check and surge protection review
Aluminum expands and contracts with the weather, so panel connections loosen over time. We catch them before they can cause melting or power problems.

“We wanted to add a whole home surge protector and ensure our grounding was proper. We’ve had some issues due to the thunderstorms. The team was on their game. Cassidy was very helpful in making sure we were in agreement on parts, purpose and schedule. Carlos, the electrician, was knowledgeable and thorough. …”

“My realtor recommended this firm and I have not been disappointed. It was a small job to replace a ceiling fan in a home that I am selling. They were prompt, efficient, and very reasonable in my view.”

FAQ
Straight answers before you book.
Still have a question?
Call or text the office Mon to Fri, 9 to 5, or email us anytime.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Gloudeman Electric holds South Carolina Contractor License #M118633, led by Master Electrician Andrew Gloudeman, and we carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance.
Do you charge for estimates or consultations?
In-person consultation costs vary by location, and that fee is credited toward the work if you hire us. We also offer free remote quotes: send us photos and your questions, and we usually reply the same day.
How do I schedule a job?
Start with a price: send us photos for a free quote, or call, text or email the office to set up an in-person consultation. Once you approve the quote, the office reaches out to schedule the work and can book the appointment for you. You can also book it yourself online: the office gives you a Job Level to use with the Request your appointment button.
How does troubleshooting work?
Troubleshooting is diagnostic work billed hourly: opening circuits, testing voltage and isolating the fault. Once we find the problem, we quote the repair up front before any repair work begins.
Do you give prices before you start?
Yes. We use up-front pricing: you approve the price before work begins. Our electricians are not paid on commission, so no one is incentivized to sell you work you don't need.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. All installation work carries a one-year workmanship warranty, stated in writing on your contract. Smoke and CO alarms we supply are replaced free if defective within the first year.
Can I supply my own fixtures or devices?
Yes, we're happy to install customer-supplied fixtures, fans and devices. Manufacturer warranties on customer-supplied items are between you and the manufacturer, and we can't warranty the device itself.
Do you install EV chargers?
Yes, this is one of our most popular services. We can provide a charger, or you can buy the charger of your choice (Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia and others) and we handle the circuit, outlet or hardwiring and a safe installation. Cost depends mostly on the distance from your electrical panel to the charging location.
Do you install generators?
We handle the electrical side of generator readiness: transfer switches, interlock kits and inlet installations. You supply the generator itself, and we can refer a plumber if a gas line is needed.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Mount Pleasant and serve the surrounding tri-county area, including Charleston, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Daniel Island and more.
What are your hours? Do you offer emergency service?
Our office is open 9:00 to 5:00, Monday through Friday. We do not offer weekend or overnight service.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less notice carry a small fee, and missed appointments are charged our minimum visit fee.
