Why Standby Power

Built for Nor'easter Country

Scituate, Hull, Marshfield, Duxbury — South Shore residents don't need convincing that outages happen. They need a system that handles them automatically.

Fully automatic — power transfers in seconds, whether you're home or away
Whole-home or essentials — sized to your real loads, not a sales target
Propane & natural gas — multi-day runtime without refueling in a storm
Protects the house itself — sump pumps, heat, and frozen-pipe prevention
Financing available — typical installs around $116/month

Good Questions

Generator FAQ

What size generator do I actually need?

It depends on what you want to keep running: essentials (heat, fridge, sump pump, some lights) need far less than whole-home coverage. Our free in-home power assessment measures your real loads so you buy the right size — we'd rather right-size your install than oversell it.

Propane or natural gas?

If your street has natural gas, that's usually the answer — unlimited runtime, no tank. On propane streets (most of the South Shore's outer towns), we size the tank for multi-day outages and can often tie into a tank you already own.

How does the generator know to turn on?

An automatic transfer switch watches utility power around the clock. When the grid drops, it starts the generator and switches your panel over in seconds — whether you're home, asleep, or in Florida. When power returns, it transfers back and shuts down.

What does a standby generator cost?

Most full installations land in the low-to-mid five figures depending on size, fuel, and panel work — and financing brings typical projects to around $116/month. You'll get an exact, all-in number at your free assessment, not a teaser price.

Do generators need maintenance?

Yes — like any engine, annual service keeps the warranty valid and the machine ready. We offer maintenance plans with priority storm response, so the week before a nor'easter you're already on the serviced list.
