Generators · the Lowcountry
Storm season, from June through November, sends most homeowners shopping for a standby generator. A standby unit is really several jobs at once: a pad, a transfer switch, a gas or propane line, an electrician and a permit. Near the marsh and on the islands, salt air works on the enclosure and the connections, so where the unit sits and how it's maintained matter as much as its size.
Ask what the quote includes beyond the generator itself, who pulls the permit, and who services the unit each year. The full cost picture, with national ranges, is in whole-house generators.
Run it under load before June, not the day the power goes out. A generator that sat all winter is a lawn ornament until somebody proves otherwise.
