What Is a Standby Generator?
A standby generator is a backup power system that is permanently installed outside a property and connected to the electrical system. When the main utility power goes out, the generator can supply power to selected circuits or systems, depending on the size of the generator and the way the system is designed.
Unlike a portable generator, a standby generator is professionally installed and connected through proper transfer equipment. This helps prevent unsafe backfeeding, protects utility workers, and supports safer operation during outages.
Why Generator Installation Requires a Licensed Electrician
Generator installation is not just placing equipment outside and turning it on. It involves your electrical panel, transfer switch or transfer equipment, load calculations, grounding, bonding, wiring, permits, utility coordination, and electrical code requirements.
A licensed electrical contractor can help with:
Electrical load evaluation
Panel capacity review
Transfer switch installation
Generator wiring
Dedicated circuits
Grounding and bonding
Service upgrades if needed
Code-aware installation
Safe connection to the property’s electrical system
Troubleshooting and repair
Bahr & Sons Electrical Contractors is NJ Lic. #11244.
Transfer Switches and Safe Generator Connection
A transfer switch allows a generator to safely supply power to selected circuits or systems when utility power is unavailable. It also helps prevent electricity from feeding backward into utility lines.
Bahr & Sons can evaluate your property’s electrical setup and install the proper transfer equipment needed for safe generator operation.
Do You Need a Service Upgrade Before Installing a Generator?
Some properties may need electrical updates before a generator can be installed safely. This depends on the property’s current panel, electrical service, load requirements, equipment condition, and the systems the customer wants the generator to support.
You may need a panel review or service upgrade if:
Your panel is outdated
Your property needs more electrical capacity
You want to support larger loads during an outage
You are adding a generator, hot tub, EV charger, pool equipment, or major appliances
Breakers trip frequently
The electrical system does not meet current needs
A previous inspection flagged concerns
Bahr & Sons provides service upgrades, service changes, panel work, and related electrical services.

Rental properties with guest turnover
Homes with sump pumps
Properties with refrigerators, freezers, or HVAC systems that need protection
Families who want less stress during storm season
