Inspected standby power in Kannapolis
Code-Compliant Generator Installation in Kannapolis, NC
An install is only code compliant once an inspector signs off. Inside Kannapolis city limits, including the part in Rowan County, that inspector comes from Cabarrus County Construction Standards. We file the permits, wire to code and meet the inspector, for Cannon Mills housing and newer two-stories alike.

Certified installer for
Built to code, ready for a Kannapolis winter
We keep the permit record and wiring notes from every Kannapolis install on file, along with the model and fuel details. When the system is due for generator maintenance in Kannapolis, the technician starts from what we built rather than a fresh look at somebody else's wiring.
Runs on Enbridge gas
Kannapolis gets its natural gas from Enbridge Gas, so where a meter is already in place we size the line to feed the generator and the furnace together.
Propane where mains stop
Where no gas main reaches the lot, the generator runs on a propane tank set at code distances from the house, the unit and the property lines.
Grounding checked to code
Before tie-in, an older Mill Village house gets its grounding and bonding checked along with the panel, because the inspector will look at both.
Isolated from Duke's lines
The transfer switch breaks the connection to Duke Energy's lines before the generator picks up the load, the safeguard the code requires and the inspector confirms.
Through a week of ice
Restoring 328,000 North Carolina customers after the December 2005 ice storm needed more than a week, a stretch a natural gas unit can cover with no tank to refill.
Signed off on three points
Cabarrus County inspectors review the transfer switch, the panel tie-in and the gas piping, and the install is not finished until all three pass.
Why Kannapolis homeowners hand us the whole install
Certified twice over
Whichever brand ends up on your quote, Generac or Kohler, we hold that manufacturer's installer certification and set it up to its specifications.
Wired to the inspector's code
Under NC license #34773, our electricians build the switch connection to the same code the Cabarrus County inspector checks on the final visit.
Load calculation in writing
You get the load calculation on paper, so the choice between essential circuits and whole-home coverage rests on numbers you can check rather than a sales pitch.
On call through the second night
We have been a Gastonia company since 1973, and our East Franklin Boulevard shop takes calls 24/7, including the ones that come in on the second night of an ice storm.
Ten years of warranty cover
A 10-year warranty stands behind the install, and financing lets you put a standby system in before next winter instead of after it.
What Kannapolis owners ask about code and fuel
That turns on the city limits, not the county line. Inside the limits, permits for the electrical and gas piping work come from Cabarrus County Construction Standards, which also sends the inspectors, even to homes in the Rowan County part of town. Outside the limits, the Rowan share of the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction goes to Rowan County Building Inspections. We look up your address and file with the right office.
As long as the tank holds fuel, which is why we size the tank to the generator and to how many days you want covered, not just to whatever fits the yard. A refill partway through a long ice storm depends on your propane supplier reaching the house. If Enbridge Gas already serves your street, a natural gas hookup takes the refill question off the table entirely.
Sometimes it is, and the load calculation will show it. A compact house with gas heat may only need an essential-circuit system covering the furnace blower, the refrigerator, lights and a few outlets. Gas heat matters here because a furnace blower draws far less than an electric heat pump. Add central air, a heat pump or an electric range, and whole-home coverage starts to earn its place.
