Standby generator installation in Ho-Ho-Kus
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 Ho-Ho-Kus: 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 I need a permit for electrical work in Ho-Ho-Kus?
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.
