WE PROVIDE THE BEST Backup Power Supply Installation SERVICES
For homeowners with medical equipment — CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, home dialysis, or electric wheelchairs — a battery backup system or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is essential. We install battery backup systems that automatically engage when power is lost, keeping your critical medical equipment running without interruption. We also install transfer switches that allow you to connect a portable generator to your home's electrical panel safely.
Whole-home standby generators provide the most comprehensive backup power solution — automatically starting within seconds of a power outage and powering your entire home without any manual setup. Jake Electric installs Generac and Kohler standby generators with automatic transfer switches, properly sized for your home's load requirements, with natural gas or propane fuel sources.
For businesses, we install commercial backup power systems including large UPS units for server rooms, automatic transfer switches for commercial buildings, and generator systems with remote monitoring. Our commercial backup power installations are designed to meet the specific requirements of your industry — from healthcare facilities to manufacturing plants to office buildings.
Commonly Asked Backup Power Supply Installation FAQs
What's the difference between a UPS and a standby generator?
A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides battery backup for immediate, short-term power during outages — typically lasting a few minutes to a few hours depending on the load. A standby generator provides long-term power automatically and runs as long as its fuel supply lasts — making it the solution for extended outages.
Can I use a portable generator to power my home?
Yes — but only through a properly installed transfer switch that isolates your home from the utility grid. Running a generator without a transfer switch creates dangerous backfeed conditions that can harm utility workers and damage your equipment. Jake Electric installs manual and automatic transfer switches for safe generator use.
How much does a backup power system cost in Westchester, NY?
Battery backup systems for critical circuits run $1,500–$4,000. Whole-home standby generator installation typically runs $5,000–$15,000 depending on generator size and installation complexity. Commercial UPS systems vary widely based on capacity.
Do backup power systems require permits?
Yes. All backup power installations in New York and Connecticut require permits and inspection. Transfer switches and standby generators require electrical permits, and standby generators also require fuel (gas/propane) permits. Jake Electric handles all permitting.
