Nor'easters take Newton 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.
“Called at 11pm when half the house went dark and an outlet was making a noise I'd never heard before. Someone was at the door in under an hour and had it isolated before midnight.”
“Sparking outlet in the nursery. They came out the same evening, replaced it, and checked every other outlet on that circuit for free.”
“Garage had one outlet and a light on the house circuit. Now it has a sub-panel and I can actually use my tools.”
It depends on whether you want essential circuits or the whole house. A typical Newton 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 Newton has a service line; propane is the answer where it doesn't.
Yes — the automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the unit, transfers the load, and switches back when utility power is stable.
We do. Annual testing, oil and filter service, and battery replacement are all available in Newton.
