Home Generator Installation
Extreme weather is on the rise and unfortunately this means more frequent power outages. With a Generac whole home backup generator your home will stay bright and cheerful even if the rest of the neighborhood goes dark.
By having your professional installation done before outages are a possibility, you ensure your generator is installed to local regulation and safety standards and fully functional. At Rytec Electric, our licensed electricians will help you determine the exact size of generator you need and handle every part of installation, including permitting and inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a backup generator?
Every household has its own unique needs and so there is no simple answer here. However, you can ask yourself a few questions:
- Do you regularly experience power outages?
- Do you have very young children or older adults in your household who are at higher risk of health complications caused by extreme temperatures?
- Does anyone in your household use medical equipment that requires a reliable connection to electricity?
- Does anyone in your household work remotely and require a reliable connection to electricity?
If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then a backup generator might be right for you.
How do I know what size generator I need?
It is relatively straightforward to estimate how large of a generator you will need. Simply add up all of the wattage of your household devices. Remember to include your air conditioning, heaters, water heaters, and sump or well pumps.
Generac provides a free home generator backup sizing calculator which is another way to determine which generator is right for you.
For a more precise figure, we recommend having a professional come and assess your needs.
Can a new generator installation be a DIY project?
The simple answer is no.
Here in South Carolina only licensed professionals are allowed to perform several of the steps necessary to finish a generator installation including natural gas connections and power mains connections.
We highly discourage DIY generator installation as these are high-powered systems which need to be installed correctly in order to avoid serious problems.
Does my generator need maintenance?
Yes, generators do require periodic maintenance in order to provide reliable service. Generac recommends biannual generator services. Generator maintenance services include oil and air filter changes, as well as repairs as needed.
How much power will a whole house generator provide?
When properly sized, a whole house generator will be able to power your entire home. If you use less electricity (for example, by turning off lights and unnecessary equipment, then your generator will be able to provide power for a longer amount of time on a given amount of fuel.
