Generator Installation & Service

Keep Your Home Running When the Grid Goes Down

Power outages don't wait for convenient times. Whether it's a summer storm or winter ice, losing electricity means more than dark rooms—it's food spoilage, no heat or AC, sump pump failure, and disrupted routines.

We install and service Generac standby generators that automatically restore power within seconds of an outage. These permanently installed systems run on natural gas or propane, so you never need to haul fuel or flip a switch.

Standby Generator Installation

A whole-home standby generator sits outside your house, connected directly to your electrical panel and fuel supply. When utility power drops, the automatic transfer switch detects the outage and starts the generator—whether you're home or away.

We handle the complete installation:

• Site assessment to determine proper placement and fuel source
• Load calculation to size the generator for your essential circuits or whole home
• Permit applications and inspections required by Somerset and New Jersey code
• Transfer switch wiring that isolates your home from the utility grid during operation
• Startup and testing to verify seamless automatic operation

Every installation meets NEC Article 702 requirements and local ordinances. We coordinate gas line work with licensed plumbers when needed.

Portable Power Solutions

Not every home needs a permanent standby system. Portable generators offer flexible backup power for essential loads at a lower upfront cost. We can recommend properly sized units and install a manual transfer switch so you can safely connect a portable generator without extension cords running through windows.

A transfer switch prevents backfeeding—the dangerous condition where your generator sends power back into utility lines, risking lineworker safety and code violations.

Generator Maintenance & Repair

Standby generators need annual service to stay reliable. We perform factory-recommended maintenance on Generac systems:

• Oil and filter changes
• Air filter replacement
• Battery inspection and testing
• Load bank testing under simulated outage conditions
• Firmware updates and control diagnostics

If your generator won't start, runs rough, or throws error codes, we diagnose and repair electrical, fuel, and control system issues. Most service calls are completed same-day.
