Why Install a Standby Generator?
Automatic, Hands-Off Power
An ATS detects an outage and starts the generator automatically — no extension cords, no manual switch, no rushing home. Power returns within about 10 seconds.
Protect Your Home & Family
Keep sump pumps running to prevent flooding, refrigeration cold to save food, and medical devices and HVAC operating through multi-day outages.
Run on Natural Gas or Propane
Standby generators connect to your existing natural gas line or a propane tank, so they run for days without refueling — unlike portable gas generators.
Our Generator Installation Process
Load Sizing
We tally the circuits you want backed up and size the generator and ATS to your home — no overselling, no undersizing.
Site & Gas Prep
We coordinate the concrete pad, placement clearances, and gas line sizing with your utility or plumber.
Electrical Hookup
We install the ATS, wire the generator, and configure load management so essential circuits get priority.
Test & Handoff
We run a full load test, pull and close permits, and walk you through monitoring and maintenance.
Standby Generator Questions
Q.What size standby generator do I need?
It depends on what you want powered. A 22kW unit typically runs an average North Shore home's essentials plus HVAC; a smaller unit may cover only critical circuits. We size it precisely from your actual loads — never a guess.
Q.How fast does a standby generator turn on?
With an Automatic Transfer Switch, power restores automatically within about 10 seconds of an outage — whether you're home or away. No manual startup required.
Q.Does it run on natural gas or propane?
Both. We coordinate with your gas utility or propane supplier for proper line sizing. Standby generators run for days without refueling, unlike portable gas units.
Q.Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit, coordinate the gas inspection, and guarantee the installation passes all local and utility requirements.
