Anderson is known as “The Electric City” — and for good reason. It was one of the first cities in the Southeast to have electricity, way back in 1895. That pioneering spirit still runs through the community today, and your electrical system should live up to it. Whether you’re in a historic home near downtown or a lakefront property on Hartwell, Waldrop Plumbing Air Electric is the electrician Anderson families trust.
We’ve been in business since 1970, serving the Upstate for over 55 years. With 7,800+ Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating, we’ve earned our reputation the old-fashioned way — by doing good work for good people.
Full-Service Electrical for Anderson Homes & Businesses
No matter what’s going on with your electrical system, we’ve seen it before and we know how to fix it right. Here’s what we do:
Electrical Repair
Flickering lights, dead outlets, buzzing switches — electrical problems aren’t just annoying, they can be dangerous. Our licensed electricians diagnose and fix issues quickly and safely. We don’t guess — we find the real problem and solve it right the first time.
Electrical Inspection
Buying a home? Renovating? Just want peace of mind? Our comprehensive electrical inspections cover your panel, wiring, outlets, and grounding to make sure everything is safe and up to code. We’ll give you a clear, honest report — no scare tactics.
Panel Services
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power. If it’s undersized, outdated, or a recalled brand like Federal Pacific or Zinsco, it’s time for an upgrade. We handle panel replacements, upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp, and sub-panel installations to meet your home’s growing power needs.
Wiring & Rewiring
Older homes often have wiring that wasn’t built for modern life — knob-and-tube, aluminum, or just plain worn out. We rewire homes safely and efficiently, bringing your electrical system up to current standards without unnecessary disruption.
EV Charger Installation
More Upstate families are going electric, and charging at home is the way to go. We install Level 2 EV chargers in your garage or driveway, handle any panel upgrades needed, and make sure everything is wired safely and up to code.
Lighting
From recessed lighting and ceiling fans to outdoor landscape lighting and security lights, we handle it all. Good lighting transforms your home — and we’ll get it installed right so it looks great and works perfectly.
Outlets & Switches
Need more outlets? Want to add USB outlets, GFCI protection in wet areas, or replace old two-prong outlets with grounded three-prong? We handle all outlet and switch work, from simple replacements to adding dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances.
Surge Protection
One good lightning strike or power surge can fry thousands of dollars in electronics and appliances. A whole-home surge protector is affordable insurance for everything plugged in. We install and maintain surge protection systems that keep your home safe.
Generator Installation
When Upstate storms knock the power out, a standby generator keeps your home running. We handle everything from sizing the right generator for your home to installation, transfer switch, and connection. Power outages become a non-event.
