Whole-home or partial backup — which do I need?

It comes down to what you want running during an outage and your budget. A partial system covers essentials like heat, the fridge, and a few circuits; a whole-home system runs everything. A contractor sizes the right unit after a quick load review.

Standby Generator Installation

Automatic backup power that keeps the lights and heat on when the grid goes down.

Coastal Connecticut sees its share of nor'easters and outages. A permanently installed standby generator starts automatically within seconds of an outage and runs your essentials — or your whole home — until power returns. A matched contractor handles sizing, the transfer switch, gas or propane hookup coordination, permitting, and start-up testing.
