Standby Generator Installation in New Bern, NC

When the power goes out, your life doesn’t have to stop. At McMillan Renovations and Electrical, we specialize in standby generator installation, maintenance, and repair services for homeowners and businesses across New Bern, Havelock, and surrounding areas. Our goal is simple — to keep your property powered, safe, and comfortable, no matter what happens outside.

Power outages caused by storms, grid failures, or unexpected electrical issues can disrupt your routine and even put your safety at risk. A properly installed standby generator automatically restores power to your essential systems within seconds — keeping your lights, appliances, and HVAC running without interruption.

Whether you want to protect your family from extended blackouts or ensure your business stays open during emergencies, McMillan Renovations and Electrical provides dependable solutions tailored to your property’s size, budget, and energy needs.

Choosing the Best Power Source for Your Needs

Your generator’s fuel type plays a major role in performance, efficiency, and long-term cost. We install and service a range of fuel options, including natural gas, propane, and diesel systems.

Natural gas generators connect directly to your home’s gas line, offering convenience and long runtime without refueling. Propane systems provide clean, efficient power with flexible storage options — perfect for homes without a gas line. Diesel units, often preferred for commercial use, deliver unmatched power and durability for larger electrical loads.

Our team will help you compare fuel availability, cost, and maintenance needs to choose the system that fits your property best.

Every property has unique energy requirements — that’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our licensed electricians work closely with you to design and install the right standby generator system for your specific power demands.
