Standby Generator Installation in Kingston, NY
Kingston, NY · Hudson Valley · Since 1995
Whole-home standby generator installation throughout the Hudson Valley. We handle siting, permitting, gas connection, and automatic transfer switch — turn-key backup power.

- Load calculation to determine required generator size
- Permit application (mechanical and electrical)
- Concrete pad or composite pad installation

Frequently Asked Questions
Typically 1–2 days for the full installation. Permit approval can add 1–2 weeks to the project timeline — we apply as early as possible to avoid delays.
A 10–14kW unit covers essentials (heat, AC, fridge, lights). A 20–22kW unit runs the whole home including EV chargers. We perform a load calculation at your home to recommend the right size.
Maybe. Generators require a high BTU input (up to 250,000 BTU/hr for a 22kW unit). We'll measure your existing gas pressure and pipe sizing to determine if the current line can supply the generator or if a dedicated line is needed.
NYS code requires 5 feet minimum from openings (windows and doors). Many local codes require more. We assess your specific site to find the best location that meets all requirements.
