Backup power generators in Hendersonville, TN

Old Hickory Lake living. Residential and commercial standby generators, solar and battery storage, installed and serviced by Music City Generator.

Hendersonville wraps around Old Hickory Lake, with waterfront homes, established neighborhoods like Drakes Creek and Indian Lake and busy retail corridors. It was one of the areas most affected by the December 2023 tornado outbreak, and lake-area homes are especially exposed to wind.

Why Hendersonville homes and businesses add backup power

Hendersonville wraps around Old Hickory Lake, and open water means wind. The December 9, 2023 tornado outbreak left tens of thousands of Nashville Electric Service customers without power, with Hendersonville among the most affected areas, and lakefront trees and lines are always exposed. Automatic backup power lets the sump pump, fridge and heat keep running through the next one.

How we plan a generator in Hendersonville

Waterfront homes in Hendersonville often have tight side yards, so we measure clearances early and choose a compact, quiet unit when space is short. Docks, boat lifts and sump pumps are loads many lake owners want to keep on, and we include them in the plan.

Every Music City Generator installation includes a free assessment, sizing from your real loads, permits and inspections, gas or propane, pad, wiring, transfer switch, start-up and a walkthrough, and we also design solar, battery and hybrid systems for Hendersonville properties that want everyday savings along with storm protection.
