Between nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, and an aging grid, outages in the Hudson Valley are a matter of when, not if. A standby generator sits outside your home on a pad, monitors utility power, and switches on automatically within seconds of an outage. When the grid comes back, it shuts itself off.

4G Electric installs the electrical side of the system: the transfer switch, the dedicated circuits, the connection to your panel, and the exterior disconnects, all to code and inspected. We work with the propane or natural gas contractor so the whole installation comes together cleanly. If you'd rather not go whole-home, we also wire manual transfer switches and generator inlets for portable units.

FAQ

Common questions

What size generator do I need?

It depends on what you want to keep running. Some homeowners just want the essentials (heat, refrigerator, sump pump, a few lights); others want the whole house. We'll walk through your panel with you and size the generator and transfer switch to match, so you're not paying for capacity you don't need.

Do you handle the gas connection too?

We handle all of the electrical work. The propane or natural gas hookup is done by a licensed fuel contractor, and we coordinate with them so the installation is seamless.

How long does a generator installation take?

The electrical installation is usually completed in one to two days once the generator and pad are in place. We'll give you a clear timeline when we quote the job.
