How Charleston Is Preparing for Hurricane Season – A WingatePower Interview on Palmetto Life

📺 Watch our full interview with Kawana Wade on Live5’s Palmetto Life above:

As we head into another storm season here in the Lowcountry, one thing is certain: power outages are no longer rare—and homeowners are getting serious about preparation.

Recently, WingatePower was featured on Live5’s Palmetto Life, where our very own Kawana Wade (HR/Office Manager) sat down to talk about what we’re seeing locally and how we’re helping Charleston stay ready.

A Wake-Up Call for Charleston

The growing frequency of power outages—locally and globally—has been a wake-up call. More and more Charleston residents and business owners are recognizing the vulnerability of our power grid, especially during hurricane season. As Kawana shared, we’ve seen a major spike in inquiries from homeowners who want to move from reactive to proactive when it comes to protecting their homes.

Annual Maintenance: The Key to Staying Ready

One of the easiest ways to ensure your generator is ready for a storm is by keeping up with yearly maintenance. That means oil and filter changes, battery checks, and a full system inspection. As Kawana mentioned in the interview, these simple steps are often overlooked—but they’re critical to making sure your generator performs when it’s needed most.

What the Generator Installation Process Looks Like

Thinking about installing a generator but unsure where to start? Kawana broke down the process clearly: it all begins with a free in-home consultation, usually with me (Billy Wingate). From there, we handle everything—permits, placement planning, electrical integration, and full installation—all done in-house, with no subcontractors.

EV Chargers: Powering the Future

We’re also excited to now offer Generac EV charger installations for both homes and businesses. As EV adoption grows in Charleston, we’re here to ensure charging at home is fast, safe, and reliable.

Our Promise to Customers

At WingatePower, we’re not just about installing equipment—we’re about building relationships. We thrive on customer connection and pride ourselves on quality work, done by a team that truly cares. Whether it’s hurricane prep or powering your everyday life, we’re here to help you feel secure and supported.
