Choose What Stays On

Power for What Cannot WaitWhen the Usual Stops Working

During an outage, lights and refrigeration can stop. Internet, heating or cooling, and well pumps may stop too. We help you choose what cannot wait and what you want to keep running.

During an outage, a furnace, heat pump, air conditioner, and thermostat may not run. If heat or cooling cannot wait for someone in your home, we can include that equipment in the load discussion.

Refrigerators and freezers are often among the first things families want powered. If your home uses a well, the pump generally needs electricity to deliver water. We can include those needs when we size the system.

Routers, Wi-Fi equipment, and phone chargers can go down with the power. Many households also want selected security equipment or medical equipment supported. A generator can power chosen circuits, but it cannot keep internet service working if the provider's network is down.

An undersized generator can leave out equipment your family expected to use. A larger system may require more from the electrical service or fuel supply. In older Spartanburg homes, we check the existing panel before recommending a system.

Generator Questions

Straight Answers Before You Install

What generator size does my home need?

We start by listing the circuits and equipment you want available during an outage. We then consider startup demand and your home's existing electrical service. The right generator kW is based on the property and the loads you choose.

Can a standby generator power my whole home?

Whole-home coverage may be possible, but it depends on the home's demand, selected generator, transfer equipment, and fuel supply. Essential-circuit coverage keeps chosen items such as refrigeration, lights, and internet equipment on. We help you compare both approaches for your household.

Why is a transfer switch necessary?

A transfer switch safely separates generator power from utility power. An automatic transfer switch senses the outage, signals the generator to start, and transfers the selected load after stable power is available. It keeps generator power isolated from utility lines.

What fuel source can my generator use?

Standby systems commonly use natural gas or propane, depending on the model and site. Natural-gas availability must be confirmed at your Spartanburg address. We also check whether the available fuel supply can support the system before equipment is selected.

Where can a standby generator be installed?

The location must meet manufacturer specifications, code requirements, and clearance needs. We also consider drainage, yard use, sound, and access for future service. Historic-district properties may have exterior-review requirements to confirm before installation.

Will permits and inspections be needed?

Most permanent standby generator installations need permits and inspections. The process depends on whether your property is under City of Spartanburg permitting or Spartanburg County permitting. We review the likely requirements with you and account for the electrical service.

What happens at startup, and how is maintenance handled?

After installation, we test generator startup, transfer operation, and the circuits included in your backup system. We show you what to expect during an outage and how to use the system safely. The generator also needs manufacturer-recommended exercise and maintenance.

Is service and repair support available after installation?

Dave's can discuss maintenance and repair support for standby equipment we install and service. We begin by checking the reported concern and the system's condition. Available work depends on the model, maintenance history, and parts availability.
