Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Gulf customers never see surprise charges.
“Three-phase power for new equipment in our shop. They coordinated with the utility and had us running on time.”
“Whole house generator installed before hurricane season. We lost power for two days last month and never noticed. Worth every penny.”
“Added a sub panel to the detached garage for my workshop. Welder, compressor and lights all run without issue now.”
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.
Yes. Generac is the most popular brand we install in Gulf, NC, and we also install Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton systems.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Gulf homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Most standby generator electrical installations in Gulf are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
A portable generator with a properly installed transfer switch and inlet is a safe, lower-cost option. Never backfeed a generator through a dryer outlet — it is dangerous to you and to utility workers.
