Panel upgrades, wiring, lighting, EV chargers, and emergency troubleshooting across Greenville, Mauldin, Greer, and nearby communities. Licensed electricians on call Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
If your lights are flickering, a breaker keeps tripping, or you're planning a panel upgrade in Greenville, SC, you want an electrician who picks up the phone and shows up ready. Ortega Electric handles everyday installs and after-hours emergencies across Greenville, Mauldin, Greer, and nearby communities.
We're open Open 24 hours, 7 days a week — so a real electrician is never more than one phone call away.
Every job below is handled by licensed electricians who know Greenville homes — from knob-and-tube-era upgrades in Poe Mill to new construction off Woodruff Road.
A documented safety inspection of the panel, wiring, and grounds. We test for loose neutrals, overheated breakers, and outdated wiring, then hand you a clear written report so you know exactly what's safe and what needs attention before it becomes an emergency.
Recessed, pendant, and fixture installation with clean switching. We recess cans into existing ceilings without drywall mess, hang pendants level over kitchen islands, and install dimmer circuits so a Greenville dining room glows the way you actually use it.
New outlets, GFCI protection, dimmers, and smart switches. We add receptacles where you actually need them — kitchen islands, garage workshops, outdoor patios — and bring older Greenville homes up to current code with tamper-resistant and GFCI-protected devices.
Hardwired, interconnected smoke and CO detectors. When one alarm sounds, every detector in the home sounds — and with battery backup, they keep working through a power outage. We place, wire, and interconnect to South Carolina residential code.
Replacing aging or unsafe wiring throughout the house. If your Greenville home still has cloth-sheathed or aluminum wiring, we pull new copper circuit-by-circuit with minimal wall damage, upgrade the panel to match, and bring every room up to modern load and safety standards.
Low-voltage outdoor lighting for paths, trees, and entries. We transformer-feed a clean low-voltage layout that highlights your home's facade, lights walkways for safety, and survives Greenville summers without corroding — all on a single timer or photocell.
Standby generator hookup with transfer switch installation. When ice or summer thunderstorms knock out Greenville power, your generator kicks in automatically. We size the unit, install the transfer switch, and wire the circuits you can't afford to lose — fridge, well pump, HVAC.
Level charger installation with a dedicated circuit. Charge a Tesla, Rivian, or Ford Lightning overnight instead of trickle-charging on a 120V outlet. We pull a dedicated 40–60 amp circuit, install a hardwired or NEMA 14-50 station, and verify the panel has capacity.
Dedicated circuits for hot tubs, ranges, and dryers. A 240V hot tub, dual-fuel range, or new electric dryer needs its own properly sized circuit with GFCI protection where code requires. We run the line, set the disconnect, and verify everything's and safe.
Troubleshooting and repair for outlets, circuits, and wiring faults. Dead outlet? Breaker that won't stay closed? Burning smell at the panel? We trace the fault, repair it at the source, and make sure the rest of the circuit is sound — available Open 24 hours, 7 days a week for true emergencies.

SC license SC-EL-54587, based right here in Greenville. We know the older wiring in Augusta Road homes and the new builds spreading toward Greer.
We diagnose first, then tell you exactly what's wrong and what it costs to fix — before we touch a wire. No surprise add-ons, no upsells you don't need.
Inspections, lighting, panels, EV chargers, generators, hot tubs — one licensed crew for the whole job. No juggling three contractors for one renovation.
