Learn More About Financing →Fogle & Sons Electric is a family-owned, licensed electrician serving North Myrtle Beach — SC License #CLM111551 — handling panel upgrades, EV chargers, dock power, generators, and everyday electrical repairs across the 29582 zip code and the fringe streets that carry 29566 and 29568 addresses. A Fogle family trade since 1949 · Fogle & Sons Electric since 2011. Our new-construction crews already build and wire homes across the Grand Strand — now the same electricians handle service calls, dispatched from our Myrtle Beach shop. Every service call starts with an $89 diagnostic visit — credited back on any job of $275 or more — and the line at (843) 628-7289 covers electrical emergencies with 24/7 response.
Most of our North Myrtle Beach work follows the housing stock. This oceanfront was rebuilt after Hurricane Hazel came ashore as a Category 4 in 1954 and destroyed roughly 450 buildings at Ocean Drive and 300 at Cherry Grove, so many surviving cottages date to the late 1950s through the 1970s — the era of 60- and 100-amp services, ungrounded circuits, and, in houses built 1965–73, possible aluminum branch wiring. Barefoot Resort is the opposite story: a master-planned golf community built out through the 2000s after its four courses opened together in 2000, where newer panels still work hard feeding pools, golf carts, and big HVAC loads. And when Hurricane Ian split the Cherry Grove Pier in 2022, it was a reminder that hurricane season here isn't hypothetical — generator inlets, interlock kits, and standby installs are core storm-prep work on this coast.
No job is too big or too small. About half of North Myrtle Beach's housing is condos and high-rises, and plenty of homes sit empty part of the year — exactly when small electrical problems go unnoticed. On the beach blocks, FEMA wave-action flood zones mean houses are raised on piers and pilings, which puts meter bases, disconnects, and under-house wiring right in the salt air — so corrosion checks belong on every service call, and a panel or meter-base replacement is often the honest fix. Here are common issues we help North Myrtle Beach homeowners with:
North Myrtle Beach came together in 1968 when four beach towns — Cherry Grove, Ocean Drive, Crescent Beach, and Windy Hill — consolidated into one city, and those four names still mark its sections today. We cover all of them, plus Barefoot Resort west of the Intracoastal Waterway and gated communities like Tidewater Plantation off Sea Mountain Highway and Seabrook Plantation off US 17. From the shag clubs on Main Street to the channel homes off House Creek, if it's in the 29582 — or the 29566 and 29568 fringes — it's our territory. And the town keeps growing, with roughly 2,500 new residents since the 2020 Census: new rooftops mean new panels, EV chargers, and service upgrades.
These are the licensed techs and the vans that pull into North Myrtle Beach driveways — uniformed, background-checked, and working under SC License #CLM111551. A Fogle family trade since 1949.
Our construction crews have been wiring Grand Strand homes for years; the service side of the shop is newer to the beach. So instead of a highlight reel, here's the work North Myrtle Beach homes actually need — and what we're equipped for.
It depends on which side of the Intracoastal Waterway you live on. The beach side of North Myrtle Beach gets its power directly from Santee Cooper, while Barefoot Resort and the neighborhoods west of the Waterway are served by Horry Electric Cooperative. We confirm your utility before quoting work like EV chargers, because rebate eligibility depends on it.
Inside city limits, permits and inspections go through the City of North Myrtle Beach Building Division — (843) 280-5560, with an online permit portal. Homes just outside city limits in unincorporated Horry County fall under Horry County Code Enforcement in Conway. Either way, we pull the permit and schedule the inspection so you never touch the paperwork.
Yes. Cherry Grove's channel homes sit on lots dredged from salt marsh in the 1950s and 60s, and dock power, boat lifts, and salt-exposed panels are everyday work on those streets. We install code-compliant dock wiring with GFCI protection and marine-rated components where required.
Yes — we install Level 2 EV chargers (Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, and others) with the dedicated 240V circuit each unit needs. Santee Cooper's EmpowerAuto program offers a rebate on qualified Level 2 home chargers for customers on its residential rates; homes in Horry Electric territory, like Barefoot Resort, aren't eligible for that particular rebate. We confirm your eligibility before we install.
We charge an $89 diagnostic visit — credited back on any job of $275 or more. A licensed electrician finds the problem and gives you an honest quote before any work starts. Fogle & Sons Electric is licensed and insured in South Carolina, SC License #CLM111551.
