FAQs
What types of generators do you install for homes and businesses in Morristown?
We supply and install a full line of air-cooled and liquid-cooled standby generators from 7 kW to 150 kW+, covering single-family homes, multi-family complexes, retail spaces, medical offices, and light-industrial facilities. Most residential customers choose natural-gas or propane units from brands such as Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton. Commercial clients often opt for diesel or gaseous generators paired with automatic transfer switches (ATS) for seamless power continuity. All equipment is UL-listed and sized to meet local electrical code and load-calculation requirements.
How do I determine the right size generator for my property?
Proper sizing starts with a load assessment. Our licensed electricians perform an on-site evaluation of your essential and optional circuits, including HVAC, refrigeration, pumps, and electronics. We calculate starting (surge) and running watts, add future load growth, apply an 80 % maximum load factor for longevity, and select the appropriately rated generator and ATS. For a quick estimate, a typical 2,400 sq ft home in Morristown that backs up HVAC and critical circuits usually needs a 14 kW–18 kW unit, while a small business with three-phase service might require 30 kW–60 kW. We provide a written sizing report with every proposal.
Do I need a permit in Morristown to install a standby generator?
Yes. The Town of Morristown requires an electrical permit and, in most cases, a zoning or construction permit for the concrete pad or propane tank. We handle the entire permitting process, including submission of one-line electrical diagrams, site plans showing clearances (minimum 18 inches from the house and 5 ft from openings), and gas-line sizing charts. Our team coordinates inspections with the Morristown Building Department, ensuring your installation meets National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 702 and local amendments.
How long does a generator installation take and will my power be interrupted?
A standard residential install is normally completed in two days: Day 1 for pad placement and set, and Day 2 for electrical, gas hookups, and commissioning. Commercial projects can span three to five days depending on trenching, conduit runs, and ATS size. Your utility power remains on for most of the project; we schedule a brief 30- to 60-minute outage while we land conductors in the main service panel and test the ATS. We always coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your household or business operations.
What maintenance does my generator need, and do you offer service plans?
Standby generators require an oil change, filter replacement, spark-plug inspection, and full operational test every 100–200 run hours or annually, whichever comes first. Batteries are load-tested and replaced every 3–4 years. Our Morristown GeneratorCare plans include two visits per year, 24/7 remote monitoring, priority emergency dispatch, firmware updates, and discounted parts. Regular maintenance protects your warranty, extends equipment life, and ensures the unit starts during a real outage.
How loud are standby generators and will they comply with Morristown noise ordinances?
Modern residential generators operate at 60–67 dB(A) at 23 ft—about the volume of a central A/C unit—while commercial liquid-cooled sets range from 68–75 dB(A) with standard enclosures. Morristown’s municipal code limits continuous noise in residential zones to 70 dB(A) during the day and 65 dB(A) at night; all models we install meet these limits. For sensitive locations, we can add hospital-grade or Level 2 sound-attenuated enclosures and position the unit behind landscaping or fencing to further reduce perceived noise.
