Nor'easters take Harvard power out for days, not hours. A standby generator starts on its own, carries the circuits that matter, and shuts down when the utility returns. OSB sizes, sets and wires the whole system.
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
“They rewired our restaurant kitchen overnight so we never closed a single service. That mattered more than the price, honestly.”
“Every smart switch I bought failed because there was no neutral. They pulled neutrals in the rooms that needed it and set up the rest properly.”
It depends on whether you want essential circuits or the whole house. A typical Harvard single-family runs well on 18-24kW for whole-house coverage; essentials-only systems can be half that.
Usually one to two days of electrical work once the pad is set and the fuel line is run.
Both. Natural gas is simplest where Harvard has a service line; propane is the answer where it doesn't.
