Generator installation in Springfield
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 Millburn and Kenilworth
Springfield is in Union County, and our crews are in the area most days. If you are just outside town, we also work in Millburn, Kenilworth, Summit and Vauxhall. Here we cover ZIP code 07081.
Much of Union 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. We see it every week around Springfield and we plan the work around it.

Generator installation in Springfield: 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.
