Do you cover Garden City in Horry County?
Yes. Garden City is inside the standard coverage area, about 12 minutes from downtown Myrtle Beach, and ZIP 29576 is on the dispatch list. Panel upgrades and EV charger installation are the jobs this unincorporated area's housing stock tends to need.
A narrow barrier-spit beach community between the Atlantic and the marsh, anchored by the Garden City Pier and the Business 17/Atlantic Avenue strip. The pier - originally the Kingfisher Pier - was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and rebuilt in 1992 as the Pier at Garden City. The developed business district straddles the Horry-Georgetown county line.
What We Find in Garden City Homes
A mix of small 1950s-70s beach cottages on narrow ocean-to-marsh lots, increasingly replaced or joined by larger raised construction and mid-rise condos since the 2000s.
Older cottages that haven't been rebuilt often still run a fuse panel or an early breaker panel undersized for a window AC, hot tub or rental wiring added since. Newer raised construction runs 200-amp service, with the panel and meter mounted up at the piling level rather than at grade.
Working in Garden City
The local rule that changes the job in Garden City
Homes rebuilt or substantially renovated in Garden City's mapped flood zones must meet Horry County's 3-foot freeboard requirement above base flood elevation, which is why so much of the newer construction sits up on pilings with the service riser and meter well above grade.
When the calls cluster in Garden City
A named-storm hit is the sharpest failure point here, not a gradual summer heat ramp: in October 2022, right after Hurricane Ian made landfall near Georgetown, a fire damaged three homes at the end of South Waccamaw Drive while roads were still nearly impassable with washout, sand and storm debris - exactly the kind of access problem that slows a repair truck reaching an oceanfront cottage.

Older block or newer build, the panel decides what you can add next, and that answer comes from a load calculation.
