Whole house generator installation in Glen Gardner
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.

Generac installation near Changewater and High Bridge
Glen Gardner is in Hunterdon County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in Changewater, High Bridge, Hampton and Clinton. Here we cover ZIP code 08826.
Much of Hunterdon County is wooded, and overhead lines run a long way through trees. When a storm comes through, power can stay out for a while. That is why so many of our calls around Glen Gardner are for standby generators, transfer switches, surge protection and well-pump circuits, along with the usual repairs.
If you searched for “backup generator electrician near Glen Gardner”, one more thing worth knowing: we coordinate with PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, Rockland Electric or a municipal utility when a job needs the power company involved, so you do not have to.

Generator installation in Glen Gardner: 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 Glen Gardner?
Yes. We work throughout Glen Gardner and Hunterdon County, including ZIP code 08826.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Glen Gardner?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
