Real electrical work for Sunset, Salem, and the Lake Keowee communities of Oconee and Pickens County. Licensed, insured, permits handled.
Six Mile, South Carolina is the gateway to The Cliffs at Keowee Springs — most of the construction traffic into the Cliffs comes through here, and the town itself is growing fast on both sides of Highway 133.
New construction at Cliffs Springs and the surrounding subdivisions makes up a lot of the electrical work in this area: rough-ins for HOA-spec luxury builds, Lutron lighting control systems, EV chargers in the garage, and standby generator installs that pass HOA architectural review the first time.
I also do plenty of upgrades on older Six Mile homes — panel swaps, dock work on the Cliffs side of Lake Keowee, and rewires on the rural roads off 133. If your project is anywhere from Six Mile up to Cliffs Springs, I can usually get there in 30-35 minutes.
Sunset Electric is the licensed residential electrician that Six Mile homeowners can actually rely on. We show up when we say we will, quote in writing, pull permits where required, and won’t leave wire nuts loose under the crawlspace.

If you own on Lake Keowee, your electrical is more complicated than the average inland house. Dock receptacles and lighting fall under NEC Article 555. Boat lifts need a dedicated circuit with GFCI protection rated for the wet location — and an old GFCI installed 15 years ago won’t pass a modern inspection anymore. Shore power for pontoons and runabouts needs the correct terminal type and isolated ground path.
On top of that, many Keowee homes were built 20–40 years ago on 150-amp service that’s now overloaded with central AC, an EV charger, and a standby generator — all drawing off the same panel. Before you add load, we do a full calculation. If the service needs to bump from 150A to 200A (or 400A for the new Cliffs builds), we handle the Duke Energy coordination, meter base swap, and inspection from start to finish.
Yes — Springs and Vineyards. I follow the architectural review process for any visible exterior work (generators, EV chargers, exterior fixtures) and get sign-off before installing.
Yes. Caseta works in most homes without rewiring; RA3 is the right pick for whole-home builds with motorized shades, scenes, and integration. I can quote either based on what you actually want to control.
Yes — I have gone through it more than once. Pre-approval, install, post-install inspection. I keep records of fixture specs and finishes so resubmittals (if any) move fast.
Yes — Cat6, conduit, low-voltage runs during framing. Coordinating with your GC, framer, and HVAC sub so the rough-ins do not fight each other. I prefer to be in early, not last-minute.
If the panel is sized right and the run is reasonable, a half-day. If the panel needs upgrading first, a full day. I will quote both scenarios after seeing the panel.
