Inman is the kind of rural Spartanburg County town where most customers run 10–12kW portable generators with 50A outlets because they need to run well pumps and workshop tools during outages, not just the fridge. The 50A inlet is the most common spec we install up here.
Inman permits run through Spartanburg County's EnerGov portal. We pull under SC Electrical License 2942, stand for the inspection, close the job out. You don't visit city hall. You don't take a day off. We handle the entire paperwork cycle.
45–55 minutes from our base — we try to pair Inman work with Boiling Springs or Campobello the same day. If you're over by the Asheville Highway corridor, Inman Mills, or the rural addresses north of 9, same-week install is typically available. Older homes sometimes need a panel upgrade first — we'll flag that in the quote, no surprises.
A standby whole-home generator (Generac, Kohler, Briggs) runs $12,000–$18,000 installed. It's automatic, it's wonderful, and it's overkill if you just want the lights, fridge, WiFi, and well pump through a storm. You've already got the portable generator. The inlet + interlock unlocks its full usefulness for a tenth the cost of a standby install.
Does my generator need a 240V outlet? Yes — either a 30A (three-prong twist lock) or 50A (four-prong). If yours is 120V-only, it's not compatible with this install.
How long until I'm scheduled? Typical turnaround in Inman is 7–14 days from quote to install.
Do I need permission from Duke Energy? No. The interlock mechanically prevents backfeeding so the install is code-compliant and doesn't require utility approval.
Are 50A installs more expensive than 30A? Slightly — the inlet box and breaker are both larger. Base install stays $1,197; 50A bumps to $1,397–$1,497 depending on run length to your panel.
Do you service Campobello, Chesnee, and Landrum? Yes, all Spartanburg County. Same process, same price (minus any extra-long-run surcharge if your panel is 75+ feet from the inlet).
