Why More Homeowners Are Adding Backup Power During the Construction Phase — and After
Unfortunately, power outages are becoming more common across the Sanford, Pinehurst, and Southern Pine area. Severe weather, aging infrastructure, and unexpected utility issues can leave homeowners in the dark for hours… or even days. That’s why more and more of our clients at T.L. Stewart Builders are taking a smart step: adding a backup generator during construction or upgrading to one shortly after moving in.
And trust us — once you’ve experienced seamless, automatic backup power, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Why Install a Generator During the Construction Phase?
We work closely with our clients to integrate a generator plan while the home is being built. Here’s why it makes sense:
Seamless Integration – Running wiring and planning the placement of your generator during construction is cleaner, faster, and more cost‑effective than retrofitting later.
Aesthetics & Space Planning – We design your layout so your generator blends in with your home’s exterior, with proper clearances and easy access for service.
Immediate Peace of Mind – When you move in, you’ll already have full backup power protection — no scrambling to schedule installation after your first outage.
Already Have a Home? It’s Not Too Late.
Even if your home is already built, our team can design and install a generator system tailored to your needs. We’ll handle everything from site prep to final connection, working around your schedule and property layout. You’ll still get:
Automatic switchover to backup power when the grid fails
Protection for critical systems like heating, cooling, and sump pumps
Confidence that your food stays fresh, your security system stays online, and your family stays comfortable
The T.L. Stewart Difference
As a custom home builder trusted across the Triad, we approach generator installation with the same precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail we put into every home we build. We coordinate all the moving parts — from electrical work to placement — so you get a turn‑key, worry‑free installation.
We’re not just checking a box. We’re building long‑term protection for your investment.
Is It Worth It? Absolutely.
Think of your generator as more than a convenience — it’s insurance for your comfort, safety, and daily life. You may only need it a few times a year, but when you do, it pays for itself in one moment of uninterrupted comfort.
Plus, a professionally installed backup generator can even increase your home’s value and appeal to future buyers.
