About us

When the power supplying your home or business fails, one of our generators can restore partial or complete power to your operation in as little as 10 seconds. This is done automatically, safely, and quietly through an automatic transfer switch. The transfer switch constantly monitors your incoming utility power. When it senses a failure, it starts your generator and after just a few seconds, switches the incoming power line from the utility source to your generator source. After utility power is restored, just the reverse happens. When the transfer switch senses that utility power is again available and stabilized, it switches your incoming lines back over to the utility, places your generator set into a 'cool down' cycle lasting a few minutes, then shuts it off. This worry free and no-hassle sequence will happen 7-24-365, giving you confidence that your home or business is never without electricity for more than a few seconds.

About 3 years ago we used them to install a Kohler 14kx propane stand by generator. We picked them due to their extensive actual background as licensed electricians unlike so many who took a course or two in high school. A home is our primary investment and we wanted someone whose primary business was generator installation. We have been thoroughly pleased with both the quality of the generator as well as the installation and service and recommend them highly. We continue to use them to inspect, maintain, and service the generator and trust them completely. I have found no other service provider in any field that I would trust & recommend so highly. Being in an unincorporated area, (not in a defined City/Village), there are NO licensing/testing requirements in NYS for someone to call themselves an electrician (or plumber for that matter). They are fully licensed in Albany - that being one of the factors why I chose them.
Description of Work: Twice a year service call per contract.
