"Keep Smiling sent me Roy Wint and I'm very glad they did. Roy installed a replacement ceiling fan as well as four recessed lights. The result of the project is a much better lit and livable living room. I want to extend special kudos to Roy. He was very professional, polite, and friendly. A joy to have working on my home. He went out of his way to avoid creating any holes in the ceiling other than those housing the lighting fixtures. And he also did a safety inspection of my home's fuse box. I can't say enough good about this young man. I'll definitely be calling him the next time I need electrical work done in my home."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Athens, homeowners often overlook permit requirements, install generators too close to windows or in low-lying areas, and underestimate power needs for summer air conditioning. Ignoring local noise ordinances or neglecting routine maintenance can also cause issues. To avoid setbacks, choose the right generator size, prioritize essential circuits, and work with experienced local professionals familiar with Athens’ specific installation challenges.

Helpful?

Installing a generator in Athens offers immediate benefits like uninterrupted power during severe storms and summer outages, which are common in the area. Over time, you’ll protect refrigerated food, maintain comfort for remote work, and ensure critical devices stay powered. Generator installation also enhances property resilience and can increase home appeal, especially given Athens’ aging grid and frequent weather-related disruptions.

Helpful?

In Athens, generator maintenance should include monthly test runs to prevent moisture buildup, frequent air filter changes due to local pollen, and inspections after major storms. Annual professional servicing is essential to keep your system reliable and warranty intact. Regularly check for fuel leaks, clear leaves or debris, and test the transfer switch to ensure your generator is always ready for unexpected outages.

Helpful?

Your Athens home is a strong candidate for generator installation if you face regular power outages, depend on well water, or have essential medical or work-from-home needs. Homes with accessible outdoor space, up-to-date electrical panels, and natural gas lines are ideal. Always review neighborhood noise restrictions and drainage conditions, as Athens’ heavy rainfall and clay soil can impact safe generator placement.

Helpful?

Combining generator installation with electrical panel upgrades, surge protection, or HVAC improvements in Athens can streamline contractor visits and reduce overall disruption. Bundling these projects may also simplify the permitting process. Pairing generator installation with insulation or solar panel upgrades can improve energy efficiency, reduce generator workload, and help create a more comfortable, resilient home environment year-round.
