Generator Installation

Generator Installation Services from ALL Plumbing

Do You Need a Whole-House Generator? Here’s How to Decide

Power outages in South Carolina—whether from tropical storms, hurricanes, or grid failures—can be more than an inconvenience. They can shut down essential systems like your plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and even medical equipment.

A whole-house generator ensures that your home continues to run smoothly, even when the power goes out. You should consider one if:

  • Your home relies on a well pump
  • You have a sump pump or sewage ejector system
  • You work from home or run a home office
  • You live in an area prone to outages
  • You care for young children, seniors, or use medical equipment

Generac Generator Installation: Step-by-Step Guide for Homeowners

At ALL Plumbing, we make the generator installation process seamless and code-compliant from start to finish. Here's how it works:

  • Free In-Home Consultation – We evaluate your home’s energy demands and panel setup.
  • Custom Equipment Recommendation – We help you select the right size Generac generator for your lifestyle and budget.
  • Permitting & Code Compliance – Our team handles all permits, inspections, and utility coordination.
  • Professional Installation – Your new generator and automatic transfer switch are installed and integrated by certified professionals.
  • Testing & Homeowner Orientation – We test your system and teach you how to use and monitor it safely.

How a Backup Generator Protects Your Plumbing During Outages

Without power, your plumbing system can quickly become vulnerable. Common risks include:

  • Well Pump Failure – Losing access to fresh water during an outage
  • Sump Pump Failure – Increased flooding risk in basements or crawl spaces
  • Grinder or Sewage Ejector Systems – Potential for backflow and backups
  • Tankless Water Heaters – Inoperable without electricity

A Generac generator restores power automatically—within seconds—ensuring your plumbing systems remain functional even when the grid fails.

The Best Time of Year to Install a Generator

Although we install generators all year, the best time to schedule your installation is before hurricane season—typically February through May. Benefits of installing during this window include:

  • Faster permitting turnaround
  • Avoiding peak-season delays
  • Peace of mind before summer storms

How Long Does a Generac Generator Last?

With proper care and maintenance, Generac generators typically last 20–30 years. Their longevity depends on:

  • Frequency of use
  • Fuel source quality (natural gas or propane)
  • Installation environment and ventilation
  • Regular oil changes and filter replacements

ALL Plumbing offers maintenance plans to help keep your generator operating smoothly for decades.
