Home Generators in Greenville, SC
Whole house standby generators sized, installed, and serviced for homes throughout Greenville, SC.
A standby generator is the difference between an outage being a news item and being a problem in your house, and Carolina Heating Service sizes, installs, and services home generators throughout Greenville, SC and the Upstate. This page covers the equipment itself: how standby generators work, how sizing decisions get made, and what the ownership experience involves.
Upstate outages come from summer thunderstorms, winter ice, and the occasional tropical remnant that tracks inland, and each one arrives without an appointment. A standby generator answers all three the same way, automatically and within seconds.

FAQs
How fast does a standby generator restore power?
Most standby units restore power within about 10 to 30 seconds of an outage. The transfer switch handles the changeover automatically, so the system works the same whether you are home or away.
Natural gas or propane for the generator?
Homes with natural gas service almost always use it, since the fuel supply is continuous and there is no tank to fill. Homes without gas service run on propane, where tank size determines runtime and becomes part of the sizing conversation.
How much maintenance does a standby generator need?
An annual service covering oil, filters, battery, and a load test, plus attention to the unit’s automatic weekly self-test. A generator that skips maintenance tends to reveal it during the outage it was bought for, which is the one test that counts.
Will a standby generator run my central air conditioning?
Yes, if it is sized for the compressor’s startup demand. This is the single load that most often separates an adequate generator from an undersized one, and it is exactly what the load calculation exists to capture.
How long can a standby generator run continuously?
On natural gas, through multi-day outages, with manufacturers recommending periodic shutdowns for oil checks during extended runs. On propane, runtime is set by tank capacity, and the technician can model it from your expected load.

Fantastic service on our backup generator following a mechanical failure in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. From my first phone call to request service until the job was successfully completed, I could not have asked for a better experience. Our technician arrived with the part we needed which had been stocked on his service vehicle. Our sincere thanks to everyone at Carolina Heating Service for the rapid response and a job well done!

After having electrical problems with our Generac generator, Carolina Power sent Guilherme out to find the problem. This man is definitely a pro!! After testing and inspecting the system, he found the problem. He repaired it right away and ran it multiple times. It finally works great. Thank you Guilherme - GREAT JOB!!
