Question 4

Will a home standby generator increase property value?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a standby generator can increase your home’s value. In Horry County, where hurricanes and power outages are a concern, a standby generator is especially valuable. It offers peace of mind, provides reliable power during outages, and can be a strong selling point for future buyers.

Question 5

What is the installation process?

Accepted Answer

The installation process begins with an assessment of your home’s power needs, allowing us to recommend the ideal generator model for your specific requirements. Once the generator is selected, we take care of permitting and prepare the site, which includes pouring a concrete pad to provide a stable foundation. When the pad is set, we deliver the generator and anchor it securely in place. Our licensed gas installer then connects the gas line, followed by our team’s electrical installation to link the generator to your home’s electrical system. We schedule a building inspection to ensure every aspect of the installation meets safety codes and regulations. Once approved, we thoroughly test the system to confirm it’s ready for reliable operation. Lastly, we walk you through the basics of operating and maintaining your generator, ensuring you feel confident and prepared for any power needs in the future.
