"Not well overall. Electricians seemed technically quite capable, but had to have them back after initial work because 2 circuits were not working (but which they did correct). A few weeks later on the first occurrence of a Dominion Energy power failure, the Generac generator did not kick in -- upon checking it myself, I found that it had been left in the OFF state by their service men on the second visit to repair the two non-working circuits. They did not return my phone call on this matter, but rather sent me two days later an "Appointment Reminder" e-mail without having contacted me to have made the appointment in the first place. I called them and expressed my displeasure, but agreed to the "scheduled" appointment that afternoon between 2pm and 4pm. In the meantime, I ran some errands and came home to discover that a power failure had occurred while I was out -- and that again the Generac generator had not kicked in. I waited all afternoon for their service person to arrive, but they never showed up. At 4:30 pm, I called them and learned that they had sent out a service man during the time I had been gone (without my knowledge or approval) and that they had never bothered to let me know that no one would be coming during the 2pm to 4pm scheduled appointment. Obviously, they do not consider treating a customer with any courtesy. I asked to have the service man who had come while I was not at home to phone me, especially to explain whether or not he had cause that particular power failure; no one ever returned my call. I was also displeased there was no paperwork done following any of their three service calls. I wrote a letter describing all this to Charleston Electric's management. I have had no response from this company's management. This shows me that the discourtesy shown me really originates from the company's management. Since it was not clear to me that the Generac generator was in working order following the third service call done while I was out (after all, there had been an unexplained power failure), I hired someone from another company to come and check it out. I give them a C overall only because their technicians do seem quite capable. I believe the company is just poorly managed."

"I would highly recommend this contractor. He was hired to install a home generator. He was professional and completed the job in an acceptable time. He came to my home & advised me what kind of generator I needed, gave me a quote (which I thought was very reasonable), ordered it & had it delivered to my home. Once delivered, he & his crew installed & tested it to make sure it operated correctly. They cleaned up after themselves, took away all debris. Everything was accomplished very quickly & the pro gave me good instructions on how to use it along with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Thank you, Dreamworld and thank you, Angi for recommending this pro."

"Mr. Wadford was and is very responsive to any query or request. He was always on time as was the installer. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the system operation and Bluetooth software. He insured that I understood everything and answered any and all questions. I have only had the system for a short time but it is performing perfectly. This project is to replace n old system. This new system cost $1500 less than the 20 year old system it replaced. The Wadford Water Works provides a quality system as well as quick, efficient and professional installation. I am thoroughly pleased with my decision with my choice to do business with Mr. Wadford."

"The job was good, I can’t complain, it’s just the price. It was good quality. It was timely. They were on time. They were good. I would shop around. For just one line, I don’t think it was worth it but it is what it is."

"The company does great work. I am please with the work. They worked fast and were very friendly. They will be installing more lights for me in the near future. The lights that I bought for him to install in the kitchen doesn’t light up the kitchen enough, so since I liked the design of light so much the owner suggested that i place the same exact light in another area of the kitchen. Great idea. He was hundreds dollars cheaper than other quotes that I received. They do wonderful work. I have already recommended him to my sister that needs electrical work."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Mount Pleasant, unexpected issues may include permit requirements, HOA review fees, and the need for deeper foundations due to sandy or shifting soil. Additional work may be required for proper drainage, relocating underground lines, or upgrading your electrical panel for standby generator compatibility. You might also need weather-resistant materials or elevated platforms to meet local flood and hurricane standards, especially in low-lying neighborhoods.

Helpful?

Homes in Mount Pleasant are ideal for standby generator installation if they have stable, well-drained yard space away from tidal flooding, easy access to propane or natural gas, and a modern electrical panel. If your property is near marshland or subject to frequent power outages, a backup generator is especially beneficial. Address any HOA restrictions or outdated wiring before starting your project for a smoother process.

Helpful?

To ensure a seamless generator installation in Mount Pleasant, confirm all necessary permits and HOA approvals early. Coordinate with local utilities for service upgrades and schedule utility line marking before any site work. Select a reputable contractor familiar with coastal weather and hurricane risks. Prepare the installation area for easy access and consider future landscaping to maintain proper generator clearances and drainage.

Helpful?

Consider installing a generator in Mount Pleasant right away if you rely on medical equipment, have experienced extended power outages, or live in a flood-prone area. Scheduling before hurricane season helps ensure reliable backup power when storms are most likely. If you’re planning major renovations soon, it may make sense to wait. Review your household’s needs and the area’s outage history to decide the best timing.

Helpful?

In Mount Pleasant, you can prepare for a generator installation by clearing the proposed site of pine needles, branches, and any coastal debris common to the area. Measure clearances based on local codes and take clear photos of your electrical panel and gas meter for backup power consultations. Never attempt electrical or gas work yourself; instead, prepare a simple site sketch and note any flood-prone spots to help your installer plan effectively.
