Severe weather and unexpected utility failures are on the rise. Prepare now. Call (914) 772-5412 or request a free consultation online.

Why a Standby Generator is a Smart Investment

A generator provides dependable power through every season:

  • Family comfort & safety: Keep HVAC, lights, and refrigeration on.
  • Home protection: Power sump pumps and prevent frozen pipes.
  • Work & lifestyle: Support home offices, Wi-Fi, and devices.
  • Peace of mind: Remote monitoring while you’re away.

It’s more than equipment—it’s a resilience plan for your home.

What’s Included in Our Generator Installations

Turnkey, start-to-finish installation:

  • Professional load assessment and right-sizing (10–26 kW typical)
  • Automatic transfer switch (ATS) installation
  • Clean panel integration with clear circuit labeling
  • Startup testing and homeowner orientation
  • Permits and coordination with gas/propane provider

How a Standby Generator Works

When utility power fails, the generator starts within seconds and the ATS switches your home to generator power automatically. When power returns, the system switches back and the generator cools down—no cords, no manual steps.

Benefits of Owning a Standby Generator

  • Instant power: Electricity restored in seconds.
  • Total protection: Keep HVAC, refrigeration, and pumps running.
  • Electronics safety: Stable power for sensitive devices.
  • Long-term value: Insurance against costly disruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in residential generator installation services in Putnam County, NY?

+

Residential generator installation services typically include evaluating your home’s electrical system, determining the appropriate generator size, installing a transfer switch, integrating the generator with your electrical panel, and testing the system to ensure it operates safely during a power outage.

How do I know what size generator my home needs?

+

The right generator size depends on your household’s electrical load and which systems you want powered during an outage. An experienced electrician will assess your panel, appliances, HVAC equipment, and other essential systems to recommend a generator that provides reliable power without overloading your electrical system.

Are standby generators better than portable generators for homes in Putnam County?

+

Standby generators are permanently installed and automatically activate when utility power is lost, making them more reliable and convenient for homeowners. Portable generators require manual setup and connection, which can be challenging during storms or emergencies common in Putnam County.

Can a generator power my entire home during an outage?

+

Yes, a whole home generator can be designed to power most or all of your home, depending on its size and your electrical system. Some homeowners choose to power only essential circuits, while others opt for full home coverage based on their needs and budget.

Is professional installation required for residential generators?

+

Professional installation is strongly recommended and often required by code. Generator systems involve complex electrical connections and safety considerations that must be handled by a licensed residential electrical contractor to prevent fire hazards, equipment damage, or dangerous backfeeding into the utility grid.

How long does it take to install a residential generator?

+

The installation timeline varies based on the complexity of the project, the condition of your electrical system, and whether upgrades are needed. Most residential generator installations can be completed within one to two days once planning and permits are in place.

Do I need an electrical panel upgrade before installing a generator?

+

Some homes may require a panel or service upgrade to safely support a generator, especially older properties with limited electrical capacity. An electrician will evaluate your panel during the consultation and recommend upgrades if necessary to ensure safe operation.

How often should a residential generator be tested or inspected?

+

Generators should be tested regularly to confirm they are ready for use during an outage. Many systems perform automatic self tests, but periodic professional inspections help identify potential issues and ensure long term reliability.

Will a generator installation increase my home’s value?

+

A professionally installed standby generator can add value to your home by improving reliability and appeal, particularly in areas prone to power outages. Many buyers see backup power as a desirable feature that enhances comfort and safety.

Why should I choose a local electrician for generator installation in Putnam County?

+

A local electrician understands the area’s weather patterns, infrastructure, and residential electrical requirements. Working with a residential electrical company in Putnam County ensures your generator installation is tailored to local conditions and supported by professionals who are readily available for future service or questions.
