Ardmore homes in Carter County near Lake Murray often need backup generators rated for extended summer air-conditioning loads during humid subtropical storms that knock out lines along I-35. Properties around the Ardmore Convention Center and Eliza Cruce Hall Doll Museum in the historic downtown frequently have older wiring that requires custom transfer-switch placement to avoid tripping during US-70 corridor surges. Mild winters reduce cold-weather demand but crews still size units for sudden wind events that affect power feeds from the lake recreation areas outward.
