Electrician in Ocean Drive, North Myrtle Beach, SC

Electrical Service for the Ocean Drive Area
Ocean Drive is part of the core North Myrtle Beach service area for Loftis Lighting & Electrical. We provide electrical troubleshooting, repairs and planned installations for residential properties as well as qualifying commercial electrical projects.
The electrical needs of one property can be very different from the next. Some calls involve a single failed circuit or lighting problem. Others require evaluating existing panel capacity, adding dedicated circuits, replacing deteriorated equipment or planning an electrical upgrade.
The goal is to identify what the electrical system actually needs and recommend the appropriate repair or installation based on the conditions found.

Tripping Breakers, Dead Outlets and Electrical Problems
When an electrical problem is intermittent or the cause isn't obvious, troubleshooting should identify the fault before deciding what needs to be replaced.
Breaker Problems
Repeated breaker trips can result from several different electrical conditions. The circuit, connected load, breaker and accessible wiring or devices may need to be evaluated to determine the cause.
Dead Outlets & Circuits
A receptacle or circuit that stops working may involve a failed device, connection, protective device, breaker or another issue elsewhere on the circuit.
Flickering & Intermittent Power
Lighting or power that behaves intermittently deserves proper troubleshooting, particularly when the problem repeats or affects multiple devices.
Upgrading Electrical Equipment When the Property Needs It
An existing electrical system does not need replacement simply because of its age. Condition, capacity, equipment type and the electrical demands of the property are more useful factors.
When an existing panel is damaged, significantly corroded, undersized for planned loads or otherwise needs replacement, Loftis can evaluate the available options and scope the appropriate panel or service work.
Panel capacity also matters when adding equipment such as EV charging, large appliances, hot tubs, pool equipment or other significant electrical loads.
Electrical Panel Upgrades →Planning a New Circuit?
Dedicated circuits may be needed for equipment with specific electrical requirements or where the existing circuit is not appropriate for the intended load.
Common applications include:
- Hot tubs and spas
- Pool equipment
- Ranges and cooktops
- Selected appliances
- Workshop and garage equipment
- Commercial equipment
