Whole-Home Generators

Stay powered through Lowcountry storms. Certified installation and service for Cummins, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Generac standby generators.

About Our Generator Services

Don't Wait for the Storm
Be Prepared for the Storm

From summer thunderstorms to hurricane season, Lowcountry weather doesn't ask permission. A whole-home standby generator means your AC keeps running, your refrigerator stays cold, your sump pumps keep working, and your family stays comfortable — automatically, the moment the power goes out.

Blue Water Electric is your local authorized Cummins dealer for sales, installation, and service — the brand we chose for our own homes and office. We're also certified to install Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Generac, so we'll help you choose the right unit for your home, your budget, and the loads you actually want to back up.

Every installation includes a full site assessment, a professionally sized unit, a code-compliant automatic transfer switch, permitted installation, and a complete walkthrough. After install, we offer ongoing service and maintenance — because a generator is only useful if it starts when you need it.

What We Do

Generator Service
From Selection to Storm

The full lifecycle, handled by one team — site assessment, sizing, install, transfer switch, permitting, maintenance, monitoring, and emergency repair.

Site Assessment & Sizing

On-site visit to evaluate your electrical service, fuel options, and which loads you actually want to back up — so the generator you buy is the right one for your home.

Whole-Home Generator Installation

Complete turnkey installation: pad, generator set, gas line interface, electrical service tie-in, transfer switch, and final inspection.

Automatic Transfer Switch

Code-compliant automatic transfer switch sized to your service panel. Seamless utility-to-generator handoff the moment the lights go out.

Annual Service & Maintenance

Scheduled preventive maintenance: oil and filter service, battery checks, transfer switch test, load test under simulated outage conditions.

Cummins Standby Generators

Local authorized Cummins dealer for sales, installation, and service. Quiet, compact, with remote monitoring — the brand we chose for our own homes and office.

Kohler Standby Generators

Certified installation and service for Kohler residential and commercial generators. A trusted alternative when Kohler is the right fit for your home.

Briggs & Stratton Generators

Certified installation and service for Briggs & Stratton residential standby units. Reliable backup power for Lowcountry homes.

Generac Standby Generators

Certified installation and service for Generac residential and commercial standby generators. Industry-leading lineup of air-cooled and liquid-cooled units.

Emergency Generator Repairs

Fast repair service for generators that fail to start, fail to transfer, or fail to hold load — including diagnosis, parts sourcing, and on-site repair.

Remote Monitoring Setup

Configure cellular and mobile-app remote monitoring so you can check generator status, run hours, and alerts from anywhere — at no monthly cost.

Pre-Storm Inspections

Pre-season and pre-storm inspections to confirm your generator will start when you need it — battery, fuel, transfer test, all systems verified.

Permitting & Code Compliance

Full permitting, utility coordination, gas line interface, and final inspection — every part of the install ready for the inspector on the first visit.

How We Work

From First Visit
to Full Power

Site Assessment

We visit your home to evaluate your electrical service, fuel options (natural gas or propane), pad location, and which loads you actually want backed up. Honest sizing, honest pricing.

Selection & Permitting

We help you choose the right size and brand — Cummins, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, or Generac — then handle all permitting, utility notifications, and HOA paperwork on your behalf.

Installation & Activation

Licensed electricians install the generator, automatic transfer switch, and any required electrical upgrades. We test under load, configure remote monitoring, and walk you through operation.
