Whole-home backup power, installed start to finish
When a storm knocks out the grid, a standby generator keeps your heat, fridge, sump pump, and lights running automatically — no extension cords, no scrambling. But a generator is only as good as its installation: it has to be correctly sized for your home, sited safely, tied into your electrical system with the right transfer switch, and permitted properly.
Power Up handles the entire installation turnkey. We assess your power needs, recommend the right generator, coordinate the gas and electrical connections, pull the permits, and test everything so it's ready the moment you need it.

What size generator does my home need?+
It depends on what you want to keep running. Some homeowners back up essentials — heat, fridge, sump pump, a few circuits — while others want whole-home coverage including AC. We calculate your actual load and recommend a generator sized to match, so you're not overpaying or coming up short.
Does a standby generator turn on automatically?+
Yes. A standby generator monitors your power and, when it detects an outage, starts automatically and transfers your home to backup power within seconds — even if you're not home. When utility power returns, it switches back and shuts itself off.
What fuel do standby generators use?+
Most home standby generators run on natural gas or propane. We'll help you choose based on what's available at your property and coordinate the fuel connection as part of the install.
Do I need a permit to install a generator?+
Yes. Generator installations require electrical and often mechanical permits and inspection in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of the turnkey installation.
How long does installation take?+
Most residential standby generator installations are completed within a day or two once permits and equipment are in hand, depending on site conditions and fuel and electrical connections. We'll give you a clear timeline up front.
