A Charleston Electrical Contractor Businesses Rely On
I'm Jesse, owner and lead electrician at SouthTech Electric. After more than 10 years in the construction industry, I started this company in 2021 to do electrical work the way I thought it should be done — reliable, honest, and right the first time.
As a South Carolina licensed electrical contractor, I've wired over 100,000 square feet of commercial and residential space across the Lowcountry and Midlands. That includes restaurant and retail buildouts, office and facility work, service upgrades, and the service calls that get a commercial property running again when something fails.
For business owners and property managers, what matters is a contractor who shows up when he says he will, works around your operating hours, and documents what he found so you can plan for it. That's the standard we hold on every commercial account.
My wife and I moved here to start our family, and we're raising our three kids in the Lowcountry. This is our community — which is exactly why I put my name on the work.
"For a business, the electrical work you never think about is the work that was done right. Our job is to keep it that way — so you're running your operation instead of waiting on a repair."

Ask Another Question-
Yes — commercial work is the core of what we do. We handle service calls and repairs, panel and switchgear troubleshooting, lighting repair, equipment hookups, buildouts, and code-compliance corrections for Charleston-area property managers, facility teams, and business owners. Every job is quoted on its own — there is no contract to sign.
-
Yes. Most commercial repair and upgrade work is deliberately scheduled at night, early morning, or on weekends so your operation is never interrupted. We build that into the quote rather than billing it as a premium afterthought.
-
Yes. SouthTech Electric is fully licensed and insured in South Carolina. We carry $1 million in liability insurance and maintain all required certifications for residential and commercial electrical work.
-
Yes. We work regularly with general contractors, commercial developers, custom home builders, and remodeling companies throughout the Lowcountry on new construction and tenant improvement projects. We understand construction timelines and coordinate with other trades to keep your project on schedule.
-
Yes. We provide emergency electrical response throughout Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, Orangeburg, and Columbia. No service contract is required. Power loss, sparking, or burning smells require immediate attention — call (843) 926-1919.
-
Cost varies by project scope, and we always provide free, detailed estimates. Service calls are quoted against the work in front of us after a look at the problem. For reference on project work, typical services range from simple outlet installations ($75-150) to complete rewiring ($3,000-8,000), with generator installations generally running $3,500-7,500 depending on size and complexity.
-
Yes, marine electrical is one of our specialties, for commercial waterfront property and marinas as well as private docks. All our dock installations use NEMA 4X marine-grade equipment and meet NEC Article 555 standards for wet locations.
-
Yes. Residential electrical is where SouthTech Electric started and it remains a core part of what we do. We serve homeowners throughout the Lowcountry with new construction wiring, rewiring, lighting, panel upgrades, and repairs alongside our commercial clients.
-
Most non-emergency projects can be scheduled within 3-5 business days. Emergency repairs are handled same-day when possible. During our busy season in spring and summer, we recommend scheduling 1-2 weeks ahead for larger projects.
