Never lose power again: whole-home generator installation

When a hurricane is heading for the North Carolina coast, the last thing you should worry about is losing power. A whole-home standby generator is the ultimate protection for your family, your home, and your peace of mind. At WaveRider Electric & Automation, we provide expert Whole-Home Generator Installation services to ensure your lights stay on, your AC keeps running, and your life continues without interruption. As an Electrical Engineer, I personally perform a detailed load calculation to make sure you get the right size generator for your needs—no guesswork involved.

Is a standby generator right for your coastal home?

Power outages in communities like St. James and Southport can last for days after a major storm. A whole-home generator is more than a convenience; it’s a necessity for:

  • Keeping your family safe and comfortable: Run your AC, refrigerator, and medical equipment without interruption.

  • Preventing costly damage: Keep your sump pump running to prevent flooding and your HVAC system on to control humidity.

  • Maintaining your lifestyle: Enjoy seamless, automatic power within seconds of an outage. You won’t even have to leave your chair.

The engineer’s advantage for generator installs

Properly sizing a generator is critical. Too small, and it won’t power your essentials. Too big, and you’re wasting thousands of dollars. My background as an Electrical Engineer means I don’t just guess at your power needs—I calculate them precisely. This ensures your generator runs efficiently and safely for years to come. We also offer annual maintenance contracts to keep your investment in top condition.
