    What Charleston Customers Say

    "Our Generac wouldn't transfer during a tropical storm. EmergenServe had an emergency generator tech onsite in Charleston at 2am. Fixed the ATS, we never lost power."

    George W.

    "Annual generator service and a transfer switch replacement at our Charleston home. Honest pricing, licensed, and they walked me through the test sequence."

    Maria S.

    Frequently Asked Questions

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

    Yes. Our emergency generator line is answered 24/7, 365 days a year by a licensed electrician serving Charleston 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?

    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 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?

    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.
