Green Village NJ packs a lot of beauty in its small footprint, with parts of it located in Chatham Township as it blends into the more pastoral feel of Harding Township. It is a portrait-perfect community that lends itself to a quiet lifestyle that reflects affluence and community spirit.
Considering its exurban location, it’s not surprising to see why automatic standby generators are becoming more popular with homeowners in Green Village, and communities all around Morris County.
- Storms are stronger than ever.
- The power grid is aging and frighteningly exposed.
- Above-ground electrical wires on poles are no match for falling trees.
- More people work while at home and need their electronics working.
- Portable generators are noisy and inconvenient to operate.
Taking all of the above into consideration, the best thing about owning a standby generator is the peace of mind you have knowing your home can rebound quickly from a power failure, no matter how widespread the power outage.
Besides indoor and outdoor lighting, an auxiliary generator powered by natural gas or liquid propane can restore power within seconds to all of your important electronics, including appliances, TVs and computers. Whether your power went out due to a tree limb taking down wires, a blown transformer a quarter-mile away, storm damage, or a total power grid failure, Stashluk can set you up with an automatic generator that can restore all of the power you need without your having to connect and maintain a noisy, inconvenient portable generator.
For a quiet community like Green Village, being able to restore power quickly is important, especially during more widespread power outages where the focus of utilities might be on taking care of more populous centers first.
Choosing the right generator for your Green Village NJ Generator Installation
If you’ve done a little preliminary research on whole house generators, whether speaking to friends or searching online, you might have had a bit of sticker shock before fully understanding your needs and what it will cost to meet them. That’s because not all automatic generators are sized the same. You might only want to power up the most important appliances and electronics in your home, such as refrigerators, sump pump, furnace and security systems, while foregoing every other non-critical electrical item.
To analyze your actual needs, give Stashluk a call at (908) 277-6200. An experienced Green Village NJ Generator Installation technician will visit your home to take down information and discuss with you how much of your home you’d like to restore power to. The technician can help you make the load calculations and recommend a generator that’s tailored to your needs and possibly quite a bit less than what you at first believed.
How to install a right-sized standby generator for your Green Village NJ home
Stashluk is factory-authorized to sell, service and maintain many of the leading brands of standby generators, including Generac, Honeywell and Briggs & Stratton—and we can service virtually all other brands if you already own a generator.
Before a visit by a Stashluk technician, it’s a good idea to take a look at your circuit breaker and note which circuits are connected to the key appliances that are ‘must-run’ in case of a power failure. Using the list above as a guide will help you rank and organize the circuits in terms of importance to the members of your household. If you want to go the extra mile, finding the wattage requirements for each item is even more helpful. These are usually evident on a label that’s attached to the device. Once all of the watts per item are listed and ‘starting watts’ are taken into account, you and your technician can begin to hone in on the generator models that will work best for your needs.
In the end you might find that a generator that can supply power to your entire home is the most efficient way to go, but if you’re committed to only powering the essentials, you will have options.
Connect to your automatic generator from everywhere via Wifi
Like just about everything else these days, there’s an app for that. Many of today’s modern standby generators have a remote monitor that provides access from any mobile device so you can check your generator’s status. This is handy if you’re away or want to keep tabs on a vacation home. You can also be notified when service or maintenance is needed, which is good to know so you don’t get caught short the next time there’s a power outage. You’ll also have to option to automatically notify Stashluk if the generator is sending signals that service is needed.
