Standby Generator Installation for Stratford Homes
Stratford’s proximity to Long Island Sound makes it one of the more storm-exposed towns in the region. Coastal nor’easters, tropical remnants, and high-wind events regularly knock out power across town — and with post-war housing throughout much of Stratford, basements with sump pumps are common. A flooded basement during a long outage is a real and costly risk. PowerPlus Electric provides full electrical installation for standby generators: automatic transfer switch, panel connection, generator circuit, and all required utility coordination with United Illuminating. We’re a licensed Connecticut electrical contractor and handle every step from permit to final hookup. CT E1 License #197810 | (203) 747-5335.
Generator installation (electrical work) typically $3,000–$15,000 depending on transfer switch type and installation complexity. Generator unit cost is separate. This is an estimate only — get a free on-site quote.
What We Install in Stratford
- Automatic transfer switch (ATS) — detects a utility outage and automatically transfers your home to generator power within seconds, keeping the sump pump and HVAC running without any manual steps
- Manual interlock kit — a panel-mounted interlock that safely connects a generator to your home’s circuits; a practical option for budget-conscious homeowners
- Sub-panel for critical loads — ideal for Stratford homes where the priority is sump pump protection, heating, refrigeration, and lighting rather than powering the whole house
Any Brand You Choose
PowerPlus installs any brand of standby generator — Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins, or the make of your choice. We handle all electrical work and pull the permits required by CT law. Gas line installation must be completed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter — we don’t perform that work — but we can refer you to trusted local professionals if needed.
