"Patrick was exemplary in customer relations. Prompt in scheduling and great communicator. Storm Electric stayed in contact with the gas line installer in order for the two utility groups to work in a timely manner together.They installed a whole house generator with great results. Thank you, Patrick, and Storm Electric."

"Great to work with from the initial quote to the final part of the installation of our generator. Arrived on time and finished ahead of time. They provided good insight into the workings of a generator and good ideas as to placement, size, etc. This was simply a great experience and I would highly recommend Southern Accents for any electrical needs."

"Just had a home generator installed. I can't say enough good things about them. They were professional, courteous, friendly, and punctual. But most importantly they did an excellent job of installing my generator. I highly recommend them!!"

"I had 2 projects for him to complete. He was unable to hard wire a ceiling fan as I originally asked about, but did install a new remote control that works good. He charged $160 which I feel was a little pricey since I purchased the remote control component, but it works. The second project was to install an outside motion sensor light on the front of my house - replacing a static, switch operated light. The first project was completed on December 19th and he said he would be back the following week, which was Christmas week. Then New Years Day holiday week came and went and he had still not contacted me about coming back to complete the work. I texted him on January 15th to see when he was going to return. He said he has been "tied up on emergencies". I can understand that, but I am getting the impression that I am small potatoes compared to other opportunities he has available. Today, 1/21/18 and he has still not contacted me to come back and do the work. I will be looking for someone else to do the work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

A portable generator can supply power to selected appliances and circuits in a home, but it's generally not designed to handle the entire household's electrical needs simultaneously. Portable generators have limited wattage capacity, so they are only designed to power essential devices and electronics temporarily until local power is restored. If your power needs outweigh the capabilities of a portable generator, consider installing a whole-home generator instead.

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

If you have a transfer switch properly installed, the generator and main electrical power cannot feed the system at the same time. However, you should still shut off the power at your main circuit breaker panel before activating the generator. If you do that, you’ll simply need to shut off the generator and reset your circuit breaker once the local power comes back on.
