Nor'easters take Palmer 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.”
“Two-prong outlets all through a 1920s house. They grounded what could be grounded and GFCI-protected the rest, then labelled everything.”
“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 Palmer 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 Palmer 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 Palmer.
