Tired of Power Outages?

Both! Natural gas is convenient (no refills) if you have service. Propane works anywhere but needs tank refills. Charlotte area has natural gas availability in most developed areas. We install both types and help you choose what's best.

Modern generators run at 60-70 decibels (conversation level) when operating. We place units to minimize noise for you and neighbors, considering prevailing winds and distance from living areas. Charlotte noise ordinances allow generators—they're emergency equipment.

Yes! Generator installations require electrical, plumbing (gas), and sometimes building permits in Charlotte. We pull all permits, coordinate inspections, and ensure code compliance. This is included in our pricing—no surprises.

We install Generac (most popular), Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. These are the top brands with proven reliability, local service support, and extensive warranties. As a family-owned company, we recommend based on your needs, not profit margins.

Natural gas generators run indefinitely (as long as gas service continues). Propane generators run based on tank size: a 500-gallon tank powers a 20kW generator for 5-7 days of continuous use. Charlotte outages rarely last that long.

Yes. Annual service costs $200-$400 and includes oil change, filter replacement, battery check, and test run. Generac recommends service every 2 years or 200 hours. We offer maintenance plans to keep your generator ready. Regular service ensures reliability when you need it.

Standby generators start automatically within 10-20 seconds of power loss. They monitor utility power 24/7 and engage when needed. No manual starting—you'll barely notice the outage. Lights flicker briefly then generator takes over.

Usually yes, but HOA approval is often required. We provide specs, placement plans, and noise data to help with approval. Charlotte HOAs generally allow generators with reasonable placement. We navigate this process with you.

Generac offers 2-5 year warranties depending on model. Extended warranties available up to 10 years. We provide 1-year labor warranty on installation. We also offer ongoing service—we're your long-term generator partner, not a one-time installer.

Yes! Generators typically return 50-70% of cost in home value. Charlotte buyers value backup power, especially after storm season. They're especially valuable in areas with frequent outages or for homes with medical needs.

Yes! If you have a portable generator and want automatic transfer to key circuits, we install manual or automatic transfer switches. This is safer than extension cords and powers hard-wired appliances like furnaces and well pumps.
