"Colin was prompt with his communication, responded within 24 hours to any inquiries, and made smart recommendations when we hired him to install our L2 Charger and replace a burnt-out switch in our kitchen. He worked smart & safe and finished them both in less time than I expected it to take. We would hire/recommend Colin to anyone seeking big or small project repairs."

PGS proudly employs licensed electricians, gas fitters, and EGSA-Certified generator service technicians (a certification which is earned by only a few generator technicians in the Northeast). Our factory-trained staff is continually expanding their knowledge to ensure we stay current on the latest developments within the industry.

"1) Installation with somewhat unique location and entrance into the house of electrical and gas lines. Electricians and Gas Pipefitter did excellent quality work, timely, neat, good steady pace throughout the day, including inevitable trouble-shooting. Site well-cleaned up afterwards. 2) & 3) Annual service agreements for both generator and minisplits always timely, well-executed, skilled personnel, and always polite."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

To power a central air system during a power outage, the whole-house generator will need to be at least 5,000 watts, and this number will significantly increase for larger units. Check the specific wattage requirements of your AC unit to choose the right generator size. Consider consulting a generator installer to ensure your whole-house generator meets your electrical load needs.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
