Delivering Trusted Service Since 1951

Generator Services in Raleigh-Durham & Fayetteville, NC

Storms can cause much damage in Fayetteville and the Triangle between high winds and flooding. With our power grid under strain, we’re more susceptible to power outages than ever, so homeowners need to consider options for keeping the lights on when the power goes out.

One option is the whole-home generator, and Blanton’s is here to provide the generator services you need to handle outages without interruption.

Call us in Fayetteville or the Triangle to request trustworthy generator service today.

Expert Generator Installation

A whole-house generator is a fixed unit that can run your whole home during a power outage. Manual options require you to flip a switch to start the generator, but others can turn on automatically when they sense power has gone out.

When you install a whole-home generator, you’ll work with a certified electrician to determine the correct size system to keep your home going for the desired time after a power outage. Depending on home size and energy consumption, you can power your home with a propane tank. With a natural gas line, you have even greater peace of mind.

Benefits of Installing a Whole-Home Generator

Why are Raleigh-Durham residents choosing to incorporate whole-home generators? The benefits are significant.

  • Reliability: A generator means you don’t need to stress about losing power when sheltering through a storm or other weather event.
  • Value: As demand for generators rises, you can typically ask more for your home if it already has a quality generator installed.
  • Functionality: Compared with a smaller portable generator, a whole-home system powers much more than any other option can.

Standby Generators vs. Whole-Home Generators

Standby generators can only power essential systems in your home. Just like whole-home generators, standby options are also permanently installed outside your home, but they can provide less power. While a standby generator can’t power everything, they are great options when you only need to run your HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, and other critical systems. Our expert team of electricians can help you determine which option and model is best for you and your home based on your needs and budget.

6 Signs You May Need Generator Replacement

Is your generator showing signs of excessive wear or malfunction? It may be time to replace your old generator with a new one!

Here are six signs that you may need to schedule a generator replacement:

  • No Longer Supported: If your generator is old enough that it is no longer supported by the original equipment manufacturer, it’s time to get a replacement.
  • Expensive or Frequent Repairs: If your generator has broken down more than once recently or the cost of a repair would exceed 50% of the cost of a replacement, it’s time for a new generator.
  • Not Enough Power: If your generator is no longer capable of running all the needed electrical appliances in your home, you need a newer and more powerful generator.
  • Difficulty starting: If your generator has trouble starting or doesn’t start at all, it may signal that it is at the end of its life.
  • Excessive fuel consumption: Generators that start using more fuel than normal may have major issues that call for a replacement.
  • Frequent stalling or shutdowns: If your generator often stops or shuts down unexpectedly, it could be because of fuel problems, overheating, or electrical faults that require a replacement

    Christopher came out to preform our seasonal maintenance and FINALLY solved our HVAC drainage issue! We’ve had this drainage problem for years. Other techs, from Blanton’s, have addressed the drainage problem but it continued. Christopher is the only tech who actually checked the drain line in our crawl space. He found the problem and repaired it in about 15 minutes! He was extremely professional and thorough. He explained all issues and repairs in an easy to understand manner. I was shown photos of every step. Christopher is a 5 star employee!

    We have used Blanton's for several years across multiple jobs — water heater replacement, minor repairs, and now what turned into two major sewer line replacements at a rental property in historic Fayetteville. Every single experience has been excellent and only continues to deepen our trust in them.

    What started as a simple drain issue — poorly repaired by another company and continuing to cause problems — eventually revealed a wildly outdated, quirky 100-year-old terracotta system that needed full replacement in two stages.

    Our first technician, Austin, immediately diagnosed the problem and tackled the first half of the sewer lines with impressive care — working around established landscaping, a backyard pond, hand-digging under a brick wall, and preserving as much of the driveway as possible. Due to the age of the system, he wasn't able to fully access the remaining 200 feet running to the city hookup, but everything was flowing smoothly and looked great as far as he could see.

    Fast forward a few months, and a section of that remaining old line collapsed. Blanton's was our first call, and Jacob was at the house within 2 hours. He worked tirelessly with his supervisor to find a temporary solution, even going so far as to recommend another company with larger equipment when needed. We did — reluctantly — try them, and quickly realized their customer service was nowhere near the standard we've come to expect from Blanton's. They were also unable to clear the line.

    Back to Jacob and his crew for the full replacement. They navigated a narrow driveway flanked by two historic stone retaining walls, preserved the cement driveway, and hand-dug carefully under decorative brick trim — everything was handled with exactly the care I hoped for. The other company had warned us those features might be damaged in the process, which was not reassuring. Blanton's made sure that wasn't the case.

    With a system as old and unpredictable as ours, there were plenty of surprises underground. Jacob's team consulted with PWC at every turn, confirmed exactly what was required to bring everything up to code, and connected it all properly to the city line without cutting corners.

    Between these two large sewer projects, a water heater replacement, and several smaller repairs over the last four years, Blanton's has never once let us down. Every technician is polite, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the work they do. Their honesty is what sets them apart — diagnosing issues accurately, being upfront about what they can and can't do, and not charging for services when they can't deliver. That kind of integrity is rare, and it means everything. Blanton's has our trust for good.
