Outages Can Change the Day.

Choose What Stays On.Know What Is at Stake.

An outage changes what matters in a home. We help you decide which systems need backup power and what the loss of each system could mean for your household.

During a long outage, losing heat or air conditioning can make a home uncomfortable fast. Refrigerated food can be at risk when the outage lasts. We also talk about lighting and garage access because daily routines still have to work.

Internet may matter for your workday. A well pump, sump equipment, or medically important equipment may matter at some homes. We ask what your household cannot easily go without.

A generator chosen by square footage alone may not support the equipment you expect to use together. That can force a choice between comfort equipment and other important loads when the power is out. We build the recommendation around your priorities instead.

During Hurricane Helene in September 2024, the outage left 99% of Spartanburg County without power at its peak. A standby generator can support the loads selected for it when utility service is interrupted. It cannot make downed lines, blocked roads, or other storm hazards safe.

STANDBY POWER + COMPLETE PROJECT SUPPORT

Backup Power That Fits Your Home.Built Around Real Needs.

We look at the loads you value, your existing electrical service, and the fuel options available at your Moore address so the generator suits the way your household uses power.

The RightFirst Standard

Why One Team Works Better.We Stay With the Job.

We believe one capable contractor makes for a better finished installation. We handle the electrical work, fuel connection, placement, startup testing, and follow-through.

01

One contractor handles the whole installation.

We tie the electrical work and fuel connection to the generator placement. We make sure the equipment is set up to work as a system. You do not have to coordinate separate crews for the parts of the job.

02

We fit the system to the property.

We choose a location that meets required clearances and allows future service. We check the permit and inspection path for your address. We also consider how the equipment will sit near your home.

03

We test it before you need it.

We start the generator and test the automatic transfer operation after installation. We show you what to expect when utility power goes out. You can call us later with questions about the system.

  • 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 begin with the equipment you want to run during an outage. We check which loads may run at the same time. We also account for startup demand and your electrical capacity. Bigger is not always better. The generator must suit your priorities and your property.

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

Whole-home coverage can fit some homes. The choice depends on electrical demand, fuel capacity, and the equipment you expect to use. Selected-load backup focuses on the circuits that matter most to you, such as refrigeration, lighting, internet, pumps, or specific comfort equipment.

What does a transfer switch do?

In an automatic standby system, the transfer switch senses a utility outage and moves approved loads to generator power. It keeps generator power separate from the utility connection while the system operates. The transfer setup helps determine whether the system serves selected circuits or a broader part of the home.

Can a standby generator run on natural gas or propane?

A standby generator may use natural gas or propane, depending on the model and the property. We verify whether natural gas is available and has suitable capacity at your address. Propane may be the better option where a suitable gas connection is not available.

Where can the generator be installed?

We determine the location after evaluating the property. The installation must meet manufacturer instructions and applicable local code requirements for clearance, access, and connections. We also look for a location that allows practical future service.

Are permits and inspections required for generator installation?

Requirements depend on the property jurisdiction and the electrical and fuel work involved. Spartanburg County permitting and county inspection requirements may apply to a Moore address. We confirm the correct path for the specific project instead of assuming every home follows the same process.

What happens after the generator is installed?

After installation, we start the system and test its automatic transfer operation. We show you the basic controls and explain the maintenance schedule. Many standby generators run scheduled exercise cycles, but maintenance follows manufacturer guidance and actual operating conditions.

Can Dave's provide generator maintenance and repair support?

Yes. We provide maintenance and repair support for standby generators. We start with the generator's condition, maintenance history, and the concern you are experiencing. That helps us address the system in front of us instead of making assumptions.
