What a whole-home standby system involves

Sizing. A load calculation matches the generator to your home - whole-home units for most houses run in the 14 to 26 kW range.
Fuel. Natural gas where service reaches your street, or propane with a tank - the installer confirms what your address supports.
Automatic transfer switch. The component that senses an outage and moves your home to generator power without you touching anything.
Permits and inspection. Electrical and gas work in South Carolina is permitted and inspected; licensed installers handle it.
Cost. Most professionally installed whole-home systems in the area run five figures once equipment, pad, transfer switch and permitting are counted. Your exact number depends on size, fuel and placement - which is what the free quote is for.
