Backup Power Solutions on Long Island
Long Island storms make backup power a smart investment. Whether you choose a standby generator, a home battery, or both, the install hinges on a properly sized transfer system. Here's how to decide.
Generators vs. batteries
Generators win for long, frequent outages; batteries win for quiet operation, short outages, and pairing with solar. Many homeowners eventually combine the two.
Transfer switches done safely
Never backfeed a generator through an outlet. A proper automatic or manual transfer switch, installed by a licensed electrician, is essential and code-required.
