Choose your setup

Standby or portable — which fits your home?

We'll walk through both on the estimate visit and put the recommendation in writing.

01

Whole-home standby generator

A permanently installed generator with an automatic transfer switch. When the grid goes down, it starts on its own and switches your home over.

02

Portable generator connection

A properly installed inlet and transfer switch or interlock lets you run selected circuits from a portable generator safely — no extension cords through windows.

03

Load planning

We help you decide what has to stay on — heat, well or sump pump, fridge, medical equipment — and size the setup to match.

04

Permits & inspection

Generator and transfer switch work requires a permit. We handle the electrical permit and coordinate the inspection with your town.

FAQ

Generator questions homeowners ask

Do I need a transfer switch?

Yes. A transfer switch or approved interlock keeps generator power from feeding back into the utility lines, which protects line workers and your equipment. Backfeeding through a dryer outlet or a "suicide cord" is dangerous and not code compliant.

Do I need a permit for a generator in NJ?

Yes. Generator and transfer switch installations require a permit and inspection. We handle the electrical permit and coordinate the inspection.

What size generator do I need?

It depends on what you want running during an outage. We do a load review on the estimate visit and size the system to your priorities.

Can you connect the portable generator I already own?

Usually. Tell us the make and model when you call and we'll confirm the inlet and switch it needs.

Is my panel ready for a generator?

We check that during the estimate. Older or undersized panels sometimes need work first — see our 200-amp service upgrade page.
