Don’t Wait for the Next Power Outage

Protect your home from the elements with a backup generator.  When the next storm hits… Keep your lights on, your fridge and freezer, your A/C, and your sump pump.  You can even do your laundry.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, homes in the Greenville area on Sept 17/24 were left without power for weeks.  People lost the contents of their fridges and freezers.  There were long lineups at Twice the Ice depots to get ice for cooling their perishable foods.  People endured heat and humidity in their homes without air conditioning.
You can prevent that from happening in your home if another storm hits the power grid with a backup generator for the home in Greenville, SC.

Generator Installation by an experienced electrician.

Psalm 23 Handyman, in Greenville, SC, has the expertise to install a backup generator for your home in Greenville, SC, and the surrounding area.  Psalm 23 Handyman can guide you through the process with as much or as little help as you might need.  I will help you decide:

  1. Where to put your generator
  2. What size generator will suit your needs
  3. What type of generator you need.

When the power goes out, you have to wheel portable generators into place.  Usually, they are set up outside, though you could set them up in a fixed location, too, just as if it were a permanent Generator. Typically, a portable generator has limited capacity, so you will have to be selective about what you want to have power.  The more things in your home you connect to the generator, the more fuel you burn.  Some generators idle and consume less power when there is no load.  Most portable generators are noisier than permanent generators.  But like with anything, there is a wide variety of manufacturers that provide quieter and more or less powerful versions. Portable generator setups cost significantly less, depending on what you choose.

One cost advantage portable generators have over permanent generators is that you can connect a portable generator to your panel via an inexpensive interlock device.

Natupal is one brand of interlock. Psalm 23: Handyman installed one, as shown on the 200-amp panel above. Here is a video from a customer who installed one on his panel.

Standby generators can be configured to start automatically when power is lost. They are typically quieter and can be sized to supply your entire house without overloading.  Permanent generators typically require installation of a transfer switch (seen in the above photo next to the GENERAC generator), which is a significantly greater expense…as is the permanent generator itself.  There is a greater labour and material cost to install permanent generators, as such.
