When the Grid Goes Down, Your Home Doesn't.
Whole-home standby power systems, designed and professionally installed for homeowners across Charlotte and Lake Norman.
A Power Outage Is Never Just About the Lights
Storms, ice, high winds, and utility failures are hitting the Charlotte area more often — and lasting longer. When the power goes, so does everything your home quietly depends on.
Comfort stops
Heating and air conditioning shut down, and your home starts working against you instead of for you.
Food and medicine warm
Refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerated medications are at risk within hours, not days.
Security and connection go dark
Internet, security systems, and cameras go offline right when you'd want them most.
Trusted by the Team Behind Plattner Builders
Plattner Builders has spent years designing and building some of the Charlotte area's finest luxury homes. When those homeowners started asking how to protect their homes from outages, we didn't hand them off to someone else.
We built Carolina Power Systems to install the same professionally engineered, whole-home standby systems we've trusted in our own custom homes — and made that expertise available directly to homeowners across the region.
More Than a Generator — a Power Plan Built Around How You Live
We don't simply sell equipment. We design complete power continuity solutions tailored to your specific home, because every home — and every family's relationship to power — is different.
Some homeowners just want to keep the lights on. Others want their entire home to run exactly as it does every day: HVAC, kitchen appliances, internet, security, pools, elevators, well pumps, medical equipment, and home offices included. Our job is to understand how you actually use your home and recommend the right-sized system — not the biggest one we can sell you.
A Clear Path From First Call to Full Protection
Five steps, start to finish — each one designed to keep you informed and in control.
Complimentary Discovery Call
A free phone consultation where we get to know your home, your concerns, any recent outages, and your goals and budget — so we can tell you honestly whether a whole-home system is the right fit.
