Backup generator electrician in Hillsborough
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.

Generator installation in Hillsborough: 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.
Which towns near Hillsborough do you serve?
We also work in Belle Mead, Flagtown and Manville and the rest of Somerset County.
Do you cover all of Hillsborough?
Yes. We work throughout Hillsborough and Somerset County, including ZIP code 08844, from Flagtown to Belle Mead.
