Generator Installations

Professional standby and portable generator installation for homes and businesses. Properly sized, permitted, and wired to keep your power on when the grid goes down.

Reliable Backup Power When You Need It

Power outages in New Jersey aren't a question of if, but when. Whether it's a summer storm, winter ice, or grid overload, a professionally installed generator keeps your home or business running without interruption.

We install standby generators that start automatically within seconds of an outage and portable generator transfer switches that let you safely connect a mobile unit without backfeeding the grid. Every installation is sized to your actual load, wired to code, and permitted through your local municipality.

Proper Sizing and Load Calculation

A generator that's too small won't run your essentials. One that's oversized wastes fuel and money. We calculate your critical loads—sump pumps, refrigeration, heating systems, medical equipment, well pumps—and spec the right unit for your needs.

For whole-house coverage, we'll walk you through fuel options: natural gas for unlimited runtime or propane for off-grid reliability.

Compliant Installation and Permitting

Generator installations require electrical permits, gas permits (if applicable), and inspections. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with your utility for gas line upgrades if needed, and ensure the transfer switch, grounding, and clearances meet NEC and local codes.


What We Install

  • Standby generators (automatic transfer switch, 7–48 kW)
  • Portable generator transfer switches (manual or interlock kits)
  • Commercial backup systems for offices, medical facilities, and retail

All installations include a concrete pad or composite base, weatherproof connections, and a full system test under load.

Maintenance and Service

Generators need annual maintenance to start reliably. We offer service contracts that include oil changes, filter replacement, battery checks, and load bank testing to verify your system will perform when called on.

How it works
01

Site Assessment and Load Calculation

We evaluate your electrical panel, critical circuits, fuel source availability, and installation location to determine the right generator size and placement.

02

Permitting and Equipment Procurement

We pull electrical and gas permits, order your generator and transfer switch, and coordinate any utility work needed for gas line upgrades.

03

Installation and Startup

We pour or set the pad, install the generator, wire the transfer switch, connect fuel lines, and commission the system with a full load test.

04

Inspection and Training

After municipal inspection and approval, we walk you through operation, maintenance schedules, and what to expect during an outage.

Common questions
How long does a generator installation take?+

Most residential standby generator installations take one to two days once permits are approved and equipment arrives. Commercial projects vary based on size and complexity.

Do I need a permit for a generator in New Jersey?+

Yes. Standby generators require an electrical permit and often a gas permit. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of the installation.

Can I install a generator myself?+

No. NJ law requires licensed electricians to install transfer switches and make electrical connections. Gas connections must be done by licensed plumbers or HVAC techs. DIY installations void warranties and create serious safety hazards.
