Generator Loan Program

A Standby Generator Protects You and Your Home By:

1. Keeping the lights on so you aren’t stumbling in the dark.
2. Keeping essential equipment running such as private wells or basement sump pumps.
3. Keeping medicines cold and medical equipment running.
4. Ensuring the security system continues to run.
5. Avoiding home damage by keeping the air conditioning and furnace running.
6. Allowing the use of appliances so food will not spoil.
7. Maintaining cell phone battery charge to keep your devices running for emergencies.

What’s Involved in Installing a Standby Generator?

To start with, you must already have natural gas or propane service, because this is what fuels the standby generator.  If it is not already in place, you must be willing to have this installed enabling you to have emergency power regardless of what the weather brings.

Edisto Electric Cooperative will assist you in the installation process. Proper installation ensures that your generator is running properly and safely.
