Nor'easters take Manchaug 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.”
“Six recessed lights in the kitchen and a dimmer that actually works. The ceiling patch was so small I didn't need a painter.”
“Breaker had been tripping for months and two other companies just replaced parts. OSB traced it to a backstabbed outlet behind a bookcase in twenty minutes.”
It depends on whether you want essential circuits or the whole house. A typical Manchaug single-family runs well on 18-24kW for whole-house coverage; essentials-only systems can be half that.

We do. Annual testing, oil and filter service, and battery replacement are all available in Manchaug.
