Conway isn't a beach town. It's the county seat, laid out as Kingston in 1732, and it holds the oldest housing stock in the area. The National Register residential district alone has 125 historic homes, most built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and houses of that era commonly still carry knob-and-tube remnants, cloth-insulated wiring, or undersized 60–100 amp services. That's why whole-home rewiring and panel upgrades lead our Conway work list. Same story on Main Street: most of the brick storefronts went up in the decade after the 1897 fire, and their electrical systems have been layered over for a century.
Two more things make Conway different. First, the utility split: Santee Cooper serves homes in and around the city while Horry Electric Cooperative serves much of the surrounding county, and which one is on your bill determines what an EV charger install qualifies for — so we check your address before we quote. Second, the Waccamaw. Conway floods from the river, not the ocean: during Hurricane Florence it crested at a record 21.16 feet and nearly 1,000 homes and businesses took water. Flood-damaged wiring needs proper inspection and replacement, not just drying out, standby generators are a regular request here, and floodplain homes carry elevation rules for electrical equipment that we handle as part of the permit.
No job is too big or too small. In the older homes around Main and Laurel it's usually era-typical wiring: knob-and-tube remnants, cloth insulation, or a service too small for modern loads. Conway is also a college town — Coastal Carolina has set enrollment records three years running, and nearly 12,000 students mean rental houses that need smoke detectors and safety inspections kept current. Here are common issues we help Conway homeowners with:
From the historic streets around Main and Laurel to Wild Wing Plantation, Myrtle Trace, Shaftesbury Glen, and Rivertown Row, Fogle & Sons Electric covers Conway old and new. The city grew from 24,849 people at the 2020 Census to an estimated 27,263 by 2024, in a metro that ranked third fastest-growing in the country in the 2024 Census estimates. We work throughout the 29526 and 29527 zip codes and pull permits with both the City of Conway and Horry County.
Our Grand Strand service branch is new, so no made-up job history here. This is what Conway's housing stock actually calls for, and what our crews are equipped to do.
Yes. Conway's National Register residential district holds 125 historic homes, most built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and houses of that era commonly still carry knob-and-tube remnants, cloth-insulated wiring, or undersized 60–100 amp services. We inspect first, quote honestly, and rewire with as little disruption to plaster and trim as we can manage.
It depends on which side of the city line you sit. Inside city limits, permits run through City of Conway Construction Services on Laurel Street. Outside the line, Horry County Code Enforcement on Second Avenue issues them instead — a distinction that trips up out-of-area contractors. Both offices are in Conway, and we pull the permit and schedule the inspection either way.
Conway is split between the two: Santee Cooper serves in and around the city, Horry Electric Cooperative serves much of the surrounding county. Santee Cooper residential customers have qualified for up to $250 back on a qualified Level 2 charger through its EmpowerAuto program, but funding windows open and close, so we confirm current eligibility before install. Horry Electric members don't get that rebate, but the co-op's rate structure rewards off-peak use: a smart charger scheduled overnight stays out of the 3–6 p.m. summer peak hours. Santee Cooper customers can pair a charger with a ChargeSmart EV rate plan that rewards overnight charging too.
One of our licensed electricians comes out, diagnoses the problem, and gives you a straight quote before any work starts. It is an $89 diagnostic visit — credited back on any job of $275 or more.
Yes. Per Horry County's own Housing Element, manufactured homes make up a large share of the housing in the rural county around Conway, and we service mobile home feeders, pedestals, and panel replacements along with stick-built houses. Work outside the city line permits through the county, and we handle that paperwork too.
