Generator Installation Services
Connecticut weather can bring unexpected power outages. A professionally installed generator gives you peace of mind during storms, blackouts, and grid failures by keeping essential systems running.

We install:
Generator transfer switches
Portable and standby generator connections
Subpanels for backup systems
Dedicated circuits for refrigerators, sump pumps, heating systems, and critical lighting
Load management solutions for energy efficiency
Transfer Switch Installation
A transfer switch is the safest way to power your home with a generator. It allows you to switch from utility power to generator power without the risk of backfeeding or damaging your system. We install both manual and automatic transfer switches for:
Homes with portable generators
Businesses using backup systems
Permanent standby generator setups
All transfer switch work is performed to NEC and local code standards.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation
Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are among the most important safety features in any property. We install and replace detectors for homes, apartments, and commercial buildings.
Our services include:
Hardwired smoke detector installation
Battery backup setup
Carbon monoxide and combination units
Interconnected detector systems
Code-compliant placement throughout the property
End-of-life detector replacement
If you're remodeling, selling a home, or bringing a building up to fire code, we can inspect, advise, and install all necessary life safety devices.
Surge Protection and Electrical Safety Upgrades
In addition to generator and detector services, we also install:
- Whole-house surge protectors
- Grounding systems
- Arc fault and ground fault protection (AFCI/GFCI)
- Tamper-resistant outlets
- Emergency lighting for businesses
These systems enhance electrical safety and protect appliances, electronics, and building occupants from fire and shock hazards.
Do You Need to Upgrade Your Detectors?
Many homeowners don’t realize that smoke detectors have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years. Older or discolored units may no longer function properly. If your detectors:
- Are more than 10 years old
- Chirp constantly or give false alarms
- Are not interconnected or hardwired
- Are missing in key areas (bedrooms, hallways, basements)
We recommend a full safety inspection and system update.
