When Utility Power Is Out
A long outage shuts down more than lights. After Helene, Landrum homeowners know how quickly food, comfort, water, and communication can become urgent.
When heating or cooling stops, the house can become hard to live in. A generator sized for the HVAC can help keep the home more comfortable for children, older family members, and pets.
Without power, refrigerators and freezers warm up. Food can spoil. If your home uses a well pump, water may stop at the faucet too until power returns.
Wi-Fi, phones, lights, garage doors, and security equipment can all be affected. Work and school can be interrupted. Medically necessary equipment may not be able to wait.
A generator that is too small can force you to shut off equipment you expected to use. Matching it to your chosen loads helps you know what can stay on during an outage.
STANDBY POWER + COMPLETE PROJECT SUPPORT
At Dave's, we match a standby generator to the loads you choose, complete the electrical and fuel connections, and leave a clean installation that fits your home.
Generator Brands We Install, Service & Repair
The RightFirst Standard
A standby generator is only as dependable as the work behind it. We bring the electrical work, fuel piping, equipment setup, and follow-through under one roof so nobody is left guessing who is responsible for the finished result.
We match the generator and transfer equipment to the loads you want available, then coordinate the electrical and fuel work around that plan. One team sees how the pieces fit and carries the project through startup.
Wiring and fuel piping should be neat, protected, and serviceable. We pay attention to routing, equipment access, and the surrounding property so the finished installation looks intentional and can be maintained later.
Our 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee backs covered installation work in writing. We also stay available for future generator maintenance and repair, so you are not left chasing a different company after the install.

Generator Questions
We total the equipment you want available and consider what may run at the same time. Motors and HVAC equipment can need extra power when starting. That gives us a sound basis for sizing the generator without assuming every circuit needs backup.
Whole-home backup can power the home within the generator's capacity and fuel supply. Selected critical loads focus on the equipment you consider essential, such as HVAC, refrigeration, lighting, Wi-Fi, or a well pump where one is present. The right choice depends on the home and what you need to keep running.
An automatic transfer switch detects a utility outage, starts the generator when the system is set for automatic operation, and moves the home or selected circuits to generator power. It isolates generator power from the utility to prevent dangerous backfeeding. When utility power returns, it transfers the home back.
A standby generator can run on natural gas or propane. We check address-specific fuel options and confirm that the available service or propane supply can support the generator. Natural gas is not available at every Landrum-area address.
A standby generator belongs outdoors and must never operate in a garage or other enclosed space. We verify manufacturer clearance requirements, service access, airflow, and the space around the equipment. The best location depends on the home and property.
Requirements can differ inside Landrum city limits and in surrounding areas. We confirm which authority applies to the property address and account for the local permitting details. A 29356 mailing address alone does not determine the exact requirements.
After installation, we test the automatic operation and show you the system's basic controls. Routine maintenance follows the manufacturer's schedule and may include inspections, oil and filter service, and battery checks. Exercise settings should remain enabled as the manufacturer recommends.
Dave's offers generator maintenance and repair support. The work depends on the model, its condition, and parts availability. Regular service can help uncover issues before an outage.
