    About emergency generator service charleston county sc

    When the grid goes down in Charleston County, and after a major hurricane it can stay down for 7 to 14 days, the only thing standing between you and a melted freezer is a working standby generator. EmergenServe runs 24/7 emergency generator service in Charleston County, SC for Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton and Cummins units. Repair, install, ATS wiring, transfer switch testing, and pre-season storm checks throughout Charleston County.

    Charleston County at a Glance

    Charleston County spans 1,358 square miles from the Edisto River to the Bull Bay marshes, covering the largest concentration of pre-1900 housing stock in South Carolina, the Boeing industrial corridor, and dozens of barrier-island vacation rentals. That mix means a Charleston County electrician sees everything from 60A knob-and-tube panels in South of Broad single houses to 1200A 3-phase service for North Charleston tenant buildouts in a single week. EmergenServe runs both ends of that work daily across all 24 Charleston County municipalities and unincorporated areas.

    Permitting & Inspections in Charleston County

    Charleston County permits unincorporated work through the Charleston County Building Inspection Services office on Leeds Avenue; the City of Charleston, City of North Charleston, Town of Mount Pleasant, City of Folly Beach, City of Isle of Palms, and Town of Sullivan's Island each issue their own permits inside city limits. EmergenServe holds active licensing with every Charleston County jurisdiction, so we pull the correct permit the same day regardless of which side of a city line your property sits on, and we coordinate Dominion Energy meter disconnects/reconnects directly with the Charleston-area service center.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do you offer 24/7 emergency generator service in Charleston County SC?

    Yes. Our emergency generator line is answered 24/7, 365 days a year by a licensed electrician serving Charleston County and the rest of Charleston County, especially during named-storm and hurricane events.

    What generator brands do you service?

    Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, Champion and most other major residential and light-commercial standby brands. We carry common parts on the truck.

    How much does emergency generator repair cost in Charleston County?

    Most diagnostic calls run $189 flat, with the diagnostic fee credited toward any repair. Common ATS and battery repairs run $400-$1,200. We give a written quote before we start.

    How often should a Charleston County standby generator be serviced?

    Annually at minimum, plus a pre-hurricane-season check every spring. Coastal Lowcountry salt air and humidity are hard on generators, skipping service is the #1 reason units fail during a storm.

    Can you install a new standby generator before hurricane season in Charleston County?

    Yes. We book up fast May through July. Call by April to guarantee a pre-season install. Financing available so you can install now and pay over time.
