Generator Installation FAQ

What size generator does my Rhode Island home need?

Most homes run comfortably on 18 to 26 kW. We calculate your actual load, including well pump, heat and any EV charging, so the unit is sized right without paying for capacity you won't use.

How long does generator installation take?

The electrical and placement usually take one to two days. Gas hookup and utility inspection follow, and we handle startup and testing.

Can you install a transfer switch for my portable generator?

Yes. A manual transfer switch and inlet box is a safe, affordable way to power essential circuits in Rhode Island without running cords through windows.

Do generators need maintenance?

Yes, an annual service keeps oil, filters and battery in shape. We offer maintenance plans for Rhode Island and Providence, Warwick homeowners.

Reviews

★★★★★

“Recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room, plus dimmers. The layout suggestions were better than what we'd planned ourselves. Fair price, tidy work.”

Linda M., Rhode Island
★★★★★

“Added six outlets and a 240V circuit for a workshop in the basement. Showed up on time, quoted flat, done in a morning.”

Mike O., Rhode Island
★★★★★

“Called at 9 pm with a burning smell from an outlet in the kids' room. An electrician was here within the hour, found a melted backstab connection, and fixed it on the spot.”

Jen R., Rhode Island
