Wilmington Generator Services 

Backup Power for Homes & Small Businesses in the Cape Fear Region

Along the Carolina coast, outages aren’t rare, they’re expected. Tropical storms, aging infrastructure, or summer strain on the grid can knock out power in a flash. At Coastal Comfort Electric, we install, repair, and maintain backup generators for homes and small commercial properties across Wilmington, New Hanover County, and the Cape Fear Region. Whether you want coverage for your whole property or just the essentials, we’ll build a setup that fits your layout and priorities.

We handle clear permitting and code-compliant installation, with same-day and weekend availability when possible. We’re also available 24/7 for urgent electrical issues and offer financing for new installations, so you can plan without stretching your budget.

Call (910) 634-5303 or contact us online to schedule your generator installation. We’ll provide a free estimate and walk you through your best options.

What We Do

Generator Installations

We handle the full installation process, from sizing and site planning to wiring and transfer switch setup. Whether you’re looking at a permanent standby unit or a portable connection for key circuits, we’ll match the system to your home’s load needs.

Repairs & Maintenance

If your generator fails to start, runs irregularly, or hasn’t had service in a while, we’ll run diagnostics, perform routine maintenance, and replace worn components, batteries, filters, oil, and more.

Circuit & Panel Integration

A generator is only as good as the way it’s wired. We inspect your panel, recommend upgrades if needed, and install transfer switches for safe, reliable transitions during an outage.

Commercial Backup Systems

Keep your business running when the grid doesn’t. We install backup solutions for small offices, retail shops, and food service operations where uptime matters.

Why Add a Generator?

Power outages can interrupt daily life and even cause costly damage. Whether it’s your refrigerator, HVAC unit, sump pump, router, or medical equipment, many essentials rely on consistent electricity. A properly installed generator helps keep your home or business running during storms or grid failures. It protects your electronics from voltage swings, prevents spoilage or flood-related damage, and minimizes downtime. For added convenience, standby systems switch on automatically, bringing peace of mind whether you're home, managing a rental, or running a small business.
