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

    Why You’ll Love Us!

    Dakota was very friendly when he and his partner arrived to work on my house. They kept me informed every step of the way. I could not have asked for a better group of people to work on my house. The work completed is wonderful. I would recommend this company to anybody. They also stand by their work. They did work before and I have it had any issues at all.

    Sorry this review is so late. I thought I’d published it in November 2025: Master Plumber James McMakin just left our home after quickly resolving a VERY frustrating water pressure problem … and identifying an almost-invisible (to us amateurs) problem developing with our aging water heater. After a decade of being Blanton’s “Wow!” members you’d think we’d be almost bored with the gracious schedulers, reasonable pricing, and the superb craftsmanship of the technicians they send us. Well, you’d be wrong. My wife and I never tire of being treated like honored members of the family … which is precisely how Mr. McMakin treated us today. We’ve learned that Blanton’s trains their techs to take whatever time we need to fully understand the service underway, what performance and/or risks to expect in the future, and, of course, all associated costs. Mr. McMakin did all of this and more…and we shall request him by name for any future plumbing needs. We should all do our jobs as well as James McMakin does his!

    We had a great experience with Blanton. We had a backed up kitchen sink and dishwasher. Tim was awesome! He provided a great assessment and options to repair a kitchen sink/ dishwasher backed up- and save us a lot of money in subfloor repair. A great technician is always teaching. Tim explained how to maintain my garbage disposal. I trusted Tim and his work. Blanton is lucky to have a great professional in Tim.

    I just had a new electric panel installed. Armando and Fredery did a fantastic job. I hope I spelled his name correctly. They don’t cut corners and pay attention to the smallest details. I highly recommend them for any of your electrical needs. They are also very nice people. Yesterday I had a new HVAC system installed by Gino Smith and Aiden Hillard. They worked outside in the cold for many hours and did a perfect installation. I highly recommend them for your heating and cooling needs.
