How Does Generator Installation Work in Hamburg, NY and Surrounding Areas?

Installation begins with a load calculation to determine what circuits you need to power during an outage—furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, lights, and other essentials. The electrician recommends the right generator size, transfer switch type, and placement on your property, considering fuel source access, noise, and code requirements.

The crew installs the transfer switch inside your home, runs conduit and wiring to the generator pad outside, and connects the system to your panel. Melton Electric uses clean conduit work and code-compliant exterior installations, ensuring safe operation in all weather conditions.

After installation, the team provides startup support, testing the system under load and walking you through operation and maintenance. Services are available in surrounding communities, and every installation is designed to integrate seamlessly with your home's existing electrical infrastructure.
