Our crews run out of our Myrtle Beach shop, about 13 miles up US 17 from the inlet, and you can reach us at (843) 628-7289. Every service call starts the same way: an $89 diagnostic visit — credited back on any job of $275 or more.
Here's the thing most electricians won't tell you about Murrells Inlet: it's one ZIP, two counties. 29576 covers both the Georgetown County inlet side and Horry County's Garden City Beach, so the permit office and even the power company genuinely change house to house. We pull permits through the Georgetown County Building Department for inlet-side homes and through Horry County Code Enforcement in Conway for Garden City and the 707 corridor — and because hundreds of parcels here were found mapped to the wrong county as recently as 2018, we verify jurisdiction before we pull anything. Same story with power: most Georgetown-side homes are on Santee Cooper, while a Horry-side address may be Santee Cooper or Horry Electric Cooperative — worth confirming before you assume a utility rebate applies to your EV charger install.
The housing here skews newer than most beach towns — roughly half of it built since 2000, in golf communities like Prince Creek around TPC Myrtle Beach, Wachesaw Plantation on its bluff above the Waccamaw, and Blackmoor off 707. What ages fast on the inlet isn't the wiring; it's everything outdoors. Salt air off the marsh works on meter bases and panel lugs year-round, and with a median age near 60, this is a town of retirees who want surge protection, standby power, and a house that doesn't need babysitting. The storm risk isn't theoretical either: when Ian came ashore just south of here in 2022, surge water reached the MarshWalk itself and more than 170,000 South Carolina homes went dark in a single evening — which is why standby generators and transfer switches top our call sheet. And if the power's already out, our emergency line offers 24/7 response.
No job is too big or too small. On a working inlet, waterfront wiring is ordinary work — dock lights, boat-lift motors, shore-power pedestals from the creek docks behind the MarshWalk on up the Waccamaw — and it has to be done to code over saltwater. On land, salt-air corrosion drives more meter-base and panel replacements here than age does. Here are common issues we help Murrells Inlet homeowners with:
From Prince Creek and gated Wachesaw Plantation along the Waccamaw to Blackmoor off 707 and Garden City Beach on the ocean side, Fogle & Sons Electric covers the whole 29576 ZIP — both sides of the county line, from the MarshWalk down to Brookgreen Gardens and Huntington Beach State Park. Murrells Inlet is part of our Grand Strand service area, alongside Surfside Beach and Socastee.
Our new-construction crews already build and wire homes across the Grand Strand — now the same electricians handle service calls. Here's the work our trucks are equipped for on the inlet.
Yes. Dock wiring is everyday work on a working inlet — shore-power pedestals, boat-lift circuits, dock lighting, and sub-panels, all with the GFCI protection and corrosion-resistant components that wiring over saltwater requires.
It depends on the county. The 29576 ZIP straddles the Horry–Georgetown line: inlet-side homes permit through the Georgetown County Building Department, while Garden City Beach and the 707 corridor go through Horry County Code Enforcement in Conway. The line has confused even the counties — hundreds of parcels were found mapped to the wrong county in 2018 — so we verify jurisdiction before we pull anything.
Most Georgetown-side homes are served by Santee Cooper, while a Horry-side address may have Santee Cooper or Horry Electric Cooperative — we confirm by address. Santee Cooper residential customers may qualify for the utility's Level 2 home-charger rebate; eligibility depends on your rate and the current program year, and we check before we quote.
Yes. We install Generac standby generators and transfer switches across the inlet. When Hurricane Ian came ashore just south of here in 2022, more than 170,000 South Carolina homes went dark in a single evening — a transfer switch is the difference between riding a storm out and waiting it out.
We come out, diagnose the problem, and give you a straight quote before any work starts — for a flat $89, credited back on any job of $275 or more. No national call center, just family electricians based right here on the Grand Strand.
