Power outages are more than just inconvenient—they can disrupt your entire home’s function, from refrigeration to heating, medical equipment, and security systems. That’s why homeowners across Massachusetts are increasingly investing in standby generator systems. At Clark Electric, we specialize in installing whole-home generator systems that activate automatically during outages, keeping your household secure, functional, and comfortable no matter the weather.
The benefits of a home generator system go beyond convenience. When the grid goes down, a standby generator kicks in within seconds, supplying power to essential circuits or the entire home depending on your system size. Whether it’s a nor’easter, utility maintenance, or overloaded infrastructure, you stay protected with seamless backup power.
Our installation process starts with an in-home assessment. We evaluate your home’s size, energy needs, and specific priorities. Some clients choose to power only essentials—refrigerators, heating systems, sump pumps, and select lighting—while others prefer full-home coverage. We’ll help you determine the right generator size, fuel type (natural gas, propane, or diesel), and transfer switch setup to meet your goals and budget.
The transfer switch is the heart of a backup system—it senses outages and automatically switches your power source from the grid to the generator. This automatic response ensures there’s no manual start-up and eliminates power lapses. For homes with critical systems such as medical equipment, this feature is a necessity.
Installation involves more than just setting up the unit. We handle all electrical and gas connections, coordinate with utility providers as needed, secure permits, and ensure full code compliance. Our work includes proper foundation pads, load transfer configurations, and safety disconnects to guarantee long-term reliability and performance.
One of the most common concerns is noise. We offer modern, low-decibel generators that can be placed discreetly outside the home. These models are designed for residential neighborhoods and meet local sound ordinances while delivering consistent performance.
Maintenance is another key factor. We offer service plans for annual checkups, fluid changes, and diagnostic testing to ensure your generator is ready when it’s needed. For homeowners who travel or own multiple properties, this peace of mind is invaluable.
Installing a generator not only improves daily life but adds value to your property. Homes with standby generators are more attractive to buyers, particularly in areas prone to storms or with frequent outages. Many insurance companies also offer discounts for homes equipped with permanent backup power.
Safety is paramount in generator installation. Improperly installed systems can backfeed electricity into power lines, endangering utility workers and neighbors. We ensure all connections and configurations are safe, legal, and meet NEC standards. This level of professionalism protects your investment and your community.
We also guide clients through generator brand options. We install top-rated units from Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton, each with industry-leading warranties and performance reputations. We’ll recommend a model that balances performance, fuel efficiency, and serviceability for your specific needs.
Don’t wait until the next storm hits to think about power reliability. Whether it’s keeping your fridge running, your furnace warm, or your home office functional, a generator makes all the difference.
