Before you buy a generator, know these 3 things.
2
Know who shows up.
Ask who does the install and the gas hookup. Licensed pros, not a subcontractor you never meet.
3
Get it in writing.
Get the real price in writing. Pad, permit, and hookup included.
Do those three and you will not get ripped off. We will walk you through all of them, free.
Why the Upstate loses power.
Summer thunderstorms roll off the Blue Ridge and knock out lines almost every year. In winter, ice does the same. The ice storm in January 2026 left around 30,000 South Carolina homes in the dark, some for days.
A standby generator does not stop the storm. It just keeps your heat, fridge, and well pump running until the power comes back.
Real installs, real neighbors.

“Had a 22kw Generac generator installed. Technicians were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Everything was done to my satisfaction. Rock(supervisor) and crew were on time and kept me informed of process. I highly reccomend them for your whole house generator install. Satisfied customer..”

“Installed my home back-up generator and could not have asked for nicer and more competent people. Pricing was good, follow-up awesome, and probably the best contractor I’ve ever dealt with.”

“I called Tri-State Electric for an electric circuit breaker problem. Ricky came over immediately as he was close to my house on his way home. He was able to fix the breaker within 2 minutes! It was amazing and he also explained to me why it happened and what I could do to not have that happen again. Ricky is a great person and he works for a great company! I will bring them all of my electric and plumbing needs from now on. Thank you so much for all that you did to help me. I appreciate your great customer service !! Everyone … if you have electric or plumbing issues please call Tri-State … you will not be disappointed!”

You do not have to pay for it all at once.
Monthly payment options are available for qualified homeowners, so you can put a generator in place this season instead of next.
Ten minutes. A fair number in writing. Zero pressure.
