Generator Installation

Westchester NY | Whole House Backup Power | Jake Electric

Westchester County loses power more than most suburban regions in the Northeast — from nor'easters and hurricanes to summer thunderstorms that knock out the grid for days.

A whole-house standby generator from Jake Electric keeps your lights, heat, sump pump, refrigerator, and medical equipment running automatically — without you having to do a thing.

WE PROVIDE THE BEST

Standby Generator Installation SERVICES

Unlike portable generators that require manual setup and gasoline, automatic standby generators are permanently installed, connect to your natural gas or propane supply, and activate within seconds of a power outage — whether you're home or away. Jake Electric installs Generac and Kohler generators for homes and businesses of all sizes across Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Dutchess, and Fairfield counties.

We handle the full installation process: load calculation and sizing, local permits, concrete pad prep, gas line and electrical connections, automatic transfer switch installation, and final startup testing. When we leave, your generator is ready for whatever the next storm brings.

Studies show whole-house generators can add 3–5% to home resale value—particularly in storm-prone markets like Westchester County. Our installations are backed by full warranties on parts and labor, and we offer ongoing maintenance programs to keep your generator ready to run when you need it most.
