Why does electrical capacity matter for Pee Dee businesses?
Electrical capacity matters because new equipment and tenant build-outs often need circuits and panel space the building does not have. State projections for 2022 to 2032 put health care at 20,777 Pee Dee jobs, manufacturing at 20,564, and warehousing growing fastest at 42.9 percent.
A site visit confirms the service size, the panel’s spare capacity and the circuits each new load requires.
Which electrical code applies in South Carolina?
South Carolina enforces the 2020 National Electrical Code with state modifications, adopted October 6, 2021. Local enforcement began January 1, 2023, together with the 2021 South Carolina building, fire, plumbing and mechanical codes.
Florence County requires a building permit to alter or repair a building. The City of Florence trade permit application covers electrical work and includes a line for generators.
How do Pee Dee storms affect commercial power?
Ice, wind, lightning and flooding all reach Florence County, and each can cut power or damage electrical equipment. On January 26, 2004, an ice storm left Florence County without power countywide, according to the National Weather Service. From 1950 to 2020, Florence County recorded 276 wind events, 35 tornadoes and 16 lightning events.
On July 8, 2025, afternoon lightning started structure fires in Florence County.
A generator should connect to the building through a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician, as Duke Energy advises. Generac warns that backfeeding without a transfer switch can electrocute utility workers and violates the National Electrical Code.
Quality Service Company is an authorized Generac and Cummins dealer for generators.
After flooding, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) advises replacing water-damaged electrical equipment, including:
- Molded-case circuit breakers
- Fuses
- AFCI and GFCI devices
- Surge protective devices
- Wiring devices
