Generac installation in Cedar Grove
We begin with what you want running in an outage, then size the generator to match. The installation covers the pad, the automatic transfer switch, the wiring to your panel and start-up testing. We coordinate the natural gas or propane connection. For portable generators we fit an inlet and an interlock so you can power the panel safely without backfeeding the line.

Older Essex County buildings hide a lot behind the plaster. Around Cedar Grove we regularly open a box and find ungrounded two-wire cable, a fuse panel still feeding part of the house, or circuits added by three different owners. None of that is unusual in North Jersey. The job is to trace it properly, fix what is unsafe first, and leave you with a panel schedule that finally matches the house.

Generator installation in Cedar Grove: common questions
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. Many homes are served by a 14 to 26 kW unit. We calculate it from your actual loads.
Which brands do you install?
Generac, Kohler and other major standby brands, along with transfer switches for portable units.
Is it safe to plug a portable generator into a dryer outlet?
No. That backfeeds the utility line and can kill a line worker. An inlet with an interlock or transfer switch is the safe way.
Do you cover all of Cedar Grove?
Yes. We work throughout Cedar Grove and Essex County, including ZIP code 07009.
Which towns near Cedar Grove do you serve?
We also work in Verona, Montclair and Little Falls and the rest of Essex County.
