Standby generators are installed outside your home and connect directly to your electrical system through a transfer switch, providing automatic power during outages. We also install portable systems for homeowners who need a more flexible solution.
Choosing the Right Generator Size for Your Home
The right generator size depends on your home’s electrical load and how much you want to keep running during an outage. Many Hartford homeowners prioritize essentials such as refrigeration, HVAC systems, well pumps, lighting and medical equipment.
Whole-home standby generators can power nearly every circuit, while smaller systems focus on key areas. Our team evaluates your usage patterns and recommends a generator sized to meet your needs without unnecessary expense. In some cases, a 20kW unit may cover moderate household demand, though final sizing depends on your specific usage.

I've had two great experiences with Jeremy and Ideal Electric, the most recent was installing a whole house generator. Not only was Jeremy able to do the job substantially cheaper than some of the bigger names, but he did an excellent job, and I can tell that he really cares about the quality of his work and taking care of his customers. I would 100% trust him for all my future electrical needs - I have total confidence that he'll do the job well, and at a fair price.
