Power outages happen without warning, and in Somerset and Central Jersey, storms, grid failures, and seasonal weather can leave your home without electricity for hours or even days. A standby generator keeps your lights, heating and cooling systems, refrigerator, and medical equipment running automatically the moment your utility power fails. Anthony’s Home Services offers whole home standby generator installation giving you continuous protection around the clock.
Installing a standby generator is a significant investment in your home’s comfort and safety. The process involves selecting the right generator size for your electrical load, running a dedicated fuel line from your natural gas or propane supply, and connecting the unit to a transfer switch that automatically manages power sources. Our licensed electricians handle every step of the installation to code, ensuring your system is safe, reliable, and ready when you need it most.

- Permit Coordination and Inspection: All generator installations require permits in New Jersey. We handle the paperwork, schedule inspections, and make sure your installation passes without issue.
Choosing the Right Generator for Your Home
Selecting the correct generator involves more than just comparing wattage ratings on a spec sheet. You need to account for starting loads, fuel availability, and how many circuits you want to protect. Our team walks you through the options, explains the tradeoffs between different generator models and fuel types, and provides a clear recommendation based on your budget and goals. We only install systems we are confident will perform reliably for years to come.
Factors That Shape Your Generator Choice
- Home Size and Electrical Load: Larger homes with high-demand appliances like central air conditioning, electric ranges, or well pumps require higher output generators to maintain normal operation during an outage.
- Fuel Source Availability: Natural gas generators connect to your existing utility supply and never need manual refueling, while propane models work well where natural gas is not available.
- Placement and Local Codes: Generators must be positioned a safe distance from windows, doors, and gas meters. We survey your property and recommend placement that meets all Somerset County and New Jersey code requirements.
