When the Power Goes Out

Decide What Must Stay OnAt Your Home

The right backup system starts with what an outage actually takes away. Food storage, water, communications, medical equipment, and heating or cooling do not carry the same priority in every home.

A refrigerator and freezer protect stored food. If your home relies on a well pump, water stops when the pump loses power. Those loads can matter more than keeping every light and outlet live.

Phone charging, Wi-Fi, and a few lights can make an outage easier to manage. Heating or air may matter even more during extreme weather, but that equipment changes the size of system your home needs.

Medical equipment may not be able to wait for utility power to return. That load belongs at the front of the backup-power decision so the generator is sized around the equipment that matters most.

Every household has a different breaking point during an outage. One family may prioritize refrigeration and a well pump. Another may need medical equipment, a home office, or broader comfort. The backup system should reflect those priorities before equipment is selected.

The RightFirst Standard

A Better Finished InstallationWith Dave's

A standby generator should feel like one finished system, not a collection of separate trades. We match the backup loads to the equipment, keep the electrical and fuel work organized, and stay accountable after installation.

01

Built as One System

The generator, transfer equipment, electrical work, and fuel connection should operate as one system. We coordinate those pieces and keep the installation organized so the finished job does not feel patched together by separate trades.

02

Clean, Serviceable Work

The wiring, fuel connection, labels, and equipment access should make sense to the next person who services the system. We keep the installation organized and built for maintenance instead of hiding crowded work behind a cover.

03

One Call After the Job

We explain the finished system, keep the project records organized, and remain available for maintenance or repair. You have one team to call when the generator needs attention later.

  • One-Team CoordinationElectrical work, fuel piping, and equipment setup stay under one roof.
  • Startup & Transfer TestingWe start the system, test transfer operation, and explain how it works.
  • 3-Year Workmanship GuaranteeCovered workmanship is backed in writing.

Generator Questions

Straight Answers Before You Install

How do you determine the right generator size for my home?

We review the equipment you want supported and the electrical demand it creates. Running demand and startup demand are not always the same, so we size the system around how major equipment operates rather than square footage alone.

Should I choose whole-home backup or selected critical loads?

We base that choice on what you want to keep running and how much of the home you expect to use during an outage. Whole-home backup can suit some homes, while selected-load backup can protect essentials with a more focused approach. Patio homes and townhome neighborhoods may also have different space considerations than detached homes.

What does an automatic transfer switch do?

An automatic transfer switch moves your home from utility power to generator power when an outage occurs. It also safely isolates generator power from the utility and returns the home to normal utility power when service is restored.

Can my generator run on natural gas or propane?

We determine the fuel fit from what is available and suitable at your property. Natural gas availability must be confirmed for the exact address. Propane can also work well when the tank, fuel supply, and generator requirements match.

Where can a standby generator be placed?

Standby generators are installed outdoors. We look for a location with proper manufacturer and code clearances, room for future service, and workable access around the home.

Are permits and inspections needed for generator installation?

Requirements depend on the property location and the work involved. For a home inside the City of Inman, we confirm the local process with City Planning and CC&I Services. An Inman 29349 mailing address may instead be in unincorporated Spartanburg County and follow a different process. We coordinate the required permit and inspection steps for our work.

What happens after the generator is installed?

We perform startup testing and verify normal generator and transfer operation before the installation is complete. Standby generators also need routine maintenance so the engine, battery, controls, and fuel system are ready when an outage occurs.

Can Dave's service or repair my standby generator later?

We can assess generator performance, controls, transfer equipment, and maintenance needs when your system needs attention. Regular professional service can help identify developing issues before they affect your backup power.
