Standby generators & transfer switches

Backup power for essential circuits or broader home coverage during outages. Absolute Power installs and maintains standby generators for homes in New Jersey.

Ready when the power goes out

A standby generator connected through a transfer switch can keep selected circuits or the whole home running during an outage. Generator size depends on which loads you want covered.

We plan the generator location, transfer switch, and wiring, coordinate the connection with your fuel supplier where needed, and complete the work to applicable New Jersey code requirements, subject to required inspections.
