Standby generator installation in Leonia
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.
We also get calls from Leonia for Generac installation, whole house generator installation and generator installation. If you are not sure which one you need, describe the problem and we will tell you.

Much of Bergen County was built before 1960: colonials, capes, two-family houses and brick apartment buildings with plaster walls. For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time.

Generator installation in Leonia: 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 Leonia do you serve?
We also work in Fort Lee, Palisades Park and Ridgefield Park and the rest of Bergen County.
