Expert Generator Installation
A whole-house generator is a fixed unit that can run your whole home during a power outage. Manual options require you to flip a switch to start the generator, but others can turn on automatically when they sense power has gone out.
When you install a whole-home generator, you’ll work with a certified electrician to determine the correct size system to keep your home going for the desired time after a power outage. Depending on home size and energy consumption, you can power your home with a propane tank. With a natural gas line, you have even greater peace of mind.
Benefits of Installing a Whole-Home Generator
Why are Raleigh-Durham residents choosing to incorporate whole-home generators? The benefits are significant.
- Reliability: A generator means you don’t need to stress about losing power when sheltering through a storm or other weather event.
- Value: As demand for generators rises, you can typically ask more for your home if it already has a quality generator installed.
- Functionality: Compared with a smaller portable generator, a whole-home system powers much more than any other option can.
Standby Generators vs. Whole-Home Generators
Standby generators can only power essential systems in your home. Just like whole-home generators, standby options are also permanently installed outside your home, but they can provide less power. While a standby generator can’t power everything, they are great options when you only need to run your HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, and other critical systems. Our expert team of electricians can help you determine which option and model is best for you and your home based on your needs and budget.

6 Signs You May Need Generator Replacement
Is your generator showing signs of excessive wear or malfunction? It may be time to replace your old generator with a new one!
Here are six signs that you may need to schedule a generator replacement:
- No Longer Supported: If your generator is old enough that it is no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer, it’s time to get a replacement.
- Expensive or Frequent Repairs: If your generator has broken down more than once recently or the cost of a repair would exceed 50% of the cost of a replacement, it’s time for a new generator.
- Not Enough Power: If your generator is no longer capable of running all the needed electrical appliances in your home, you need a newer and more powerful generator.
- Difficulty starting: If your generator has trouble starting or doesn’t start at all, it may signal that it is at the end of its life.
- Excessive fuel consumption: Generators that start using more fuel than normal may have major issues that call for a replacement.
- Frequent stalling or shutdowns: If your generator often stops or shuts down unexpectedly, it could be because of fuel problems, overheating, or electrical faults that require a replacement

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a whole-home generator and a portable generator?
Portable generators are designed for limited use and don’t provide enough connections or capacity to power a home.
What size generator do I need for my home?
Proper generator sizing is required to ensure the system meets your home’s energy needs. A professional electrician can calculate the right size generator to power your house.
How long can a generator power my house?
You can keep everything going indefinitely if you have a natural gas line. A tank of propane can last about a week.
