A power outage can turn into a house full of spoiled food, a flooded basement, or a well pump that will not run. A reliable backup power system keeps your home running no matter what the weather brings.
Prime Plumbing & Drains provides generator sales and installation in Salisbury, NC, and we are proud to be an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer. That means genuine equipment, manufacturer-backed support, and the licensed gasfitting expertise to connect natural gas and propane-fueled systems correctly.
When to Consider Generator Services
A standby or portable generator can be the right choice in several situations. You may want to schedule a consultation if:
- Your home has lost power during a storm, and you want a permanent solution
- You rely on a well pump, medical equipment, or other systems that need continuous power
- You are tired of running extension cords to a portable generator during outages
- You are building or renovating and want backup power designed in from the start
- Your current generator is unreliable or has not been serviced recently
Generator Services We Provide in Salisbury
Whatever your backup power needs, Prime Plumbing & Drains has a solution built around your home.
Standby Generator Installation
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and starts automatically within seconds of an outage. We evaluate your electrical panel and fuel source before recommending the right Briggs & Stratton system for your household.
As an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer, we install both natural gas and propane-fueled standby systems, along with the transfer switch that connects your generator to your home’s electrical panel.
Portable Generator Setup & Connections
If a portable generator fits your needs better than a standby system, we can set up the proper connections so it powers your home safely rather than through a tangle of extension cords.
Generator Sales
Choosing the right generator starts with the right equipment. As an authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer, we help Salisbury homeowners select a system sized to their home, whether that means covering a few essential circuits or the whole house.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes. A permanently installed standby generator typically requires an electrical permit and a gas or propane permit in North Carolina. As a licensed contractor, we handle permitting as part of every installation.
Many generators can be converted between fuel sources with the right kit and professional installation, though this depends on your specific generator model. We can evaluate your current setup and recommend the better option.
