CORE BENEFITS
Enjoy Ultimate Peace of Mind & Security
A whole-home generator is more than just a convenience; it’s a critical investment in your family’s safety and your home’s protection. During a power outage, a standby generator ensures your essential systems continue to operate without interruption. This means your lights stay on, your refrigerator keeps food from spoiling, and your HVAC system maintains a comfortable temperature inside your home, no matter the weather outside.
Beyond comfort, a generator provides crucial security. It keeps security systems powered and ensures medical equipment remains operational for those who rely on it. For homeowners in areas prone to flooding, a generator is essential for keeping the sump pump running, preventing catastrophic water damage and costly repairs. You can rest easy knowing that your home and family are protected around the clock.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Automatic Power When You Need It Most
The key advantage of a modern standby generator is its fully automatic operation. Unlike portable generators that require manual setup, refueling, and a web of extension cords, a standby unit is permanently installed and connected directly to your home’s electrical system and fuel source (natural gas or propane). This creates a seamless and effortless safety net for your home.
When utility power is interrupted, an advanced automatic transfer switch (ATS) instantly detects the outage. Within seconds, the ATS signals the generator to start and then safely transfers your home’s electrical load to the generator. You don’t have to do a thing. When utility power is restored, the ATS automatically transfers the load back and shuts down the generator, returning it to standby for the next event.
This automatic functionality means your home is protected 24/7, whether you are at home, at work, or on vacation. You’ll no longer have to worry about the basement flooding or the pipes freezing while you’re away. It’s the ultimate ‘set it and forget it’ solution for protecting your home and family from power outages.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Home Generator FAQs
Have questions about getting a whole-home generator? We have answers. Here are some of the most common questions our electricians receive from Boston-area homeowners.
How does an automatic standby generator work?
An automatic standby generator is connected to your home’s electrical system through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). When the ATS senses a loss of utility power, it automatically starts the generator and transfers your home’s electrical load to it. When power is restored, it reverses the process, all without any manual input from you.
What size generator do I need for my house?
The right size generator depends on what you want to power. A smaller unit might cover essential circuits like your refrigerator, furnace, and a few lights. A larger unit can power your entire home, including air conditioning and other large appliances. Our experts will perform a load calculation during your consultation to recommend the perfect size for your needs.
How long does installation take?
A standard installation typically takes one to two full days. This can vary depending on the complexity of the electrical and gas line connections. We will give you a clear timeline before we begin the project.
What kind of maintenance does a generator require?
Like any engine, generators require regular maintenance to ensure they are ready when needed. This typically includes annual services like oil and filter changes, battery checks, and a full system diagnostic. We offer comprehensive maintenance plans to keep your investment in top condition.
Can a generator power my whole house?
Yes, whole-house generators are designed to power your entire home, from your HVAC system and kitchen appliances to lights and electronics. We can help you select a generator with enough capacity to handle your entire electrical load, so you won’t even notice the power is out.
