Generator Installation FAQ
What is the difference between a portable and standby generator?
Standby generators are permanently installed, start automatically, and run on your home's fuel supply. Portables must be manually set up, fueled with gasoline, and plugged into a manual transfer switch.
Do I need a permit for a standby generator?
Yes. Most NJ municipalities require electrical, building, and plumbing (gas) permits. We handle the entire application process for you.
What size generator do I need?
We perform a detailed load calculation of your home's essential circuits to recommend a system (typically 14kW to 26kW) that fits your needs and budget.
