NO JOB IS TOO SMALL
Generator Installation Services in New Haven
Power outages are more than just an inconvenience; they can disrupt your life, spoil food, halt business operations, and even create unsafe living conditions. With a professionally installed standby generator, you gain the ultimate peace of mind. Unlike portable generators, a standby unit is permanently installed and wired directly into your electrical system, providing seamless, automatic power to your entire property or just the essential circuits.
Sampson Electric makes the process easy. We help you select the right generator for your needs and handle the entire installation from start to finish, ensuring a safe, code-compliant, and reliable backup power solution.
Top-of-The-Line Generators
We are authorized installers of leading brands like Generac, providing end-to-end solutions for residential and commercial clients.
Professional Consultation & Sizing
Choosing the right generator is critical. We start with a thorough assessment of your property’s power needs. We’ll calculate your total electrical load and help you decide whether you need to power essential circuits (like refrigeration, heating, and well pumps) or your entire home or business.
Seamless Integration & Installation
Our licensed electricians handle every aspect of the installation process:
- Proper Placement: We find the safest and most efficient location for your new generator.
- Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Installation: This is the “brain” of the system. The ATS automatically detects a power outage, disconnects you from the grid, and switches your property to generator power within seconds.
- Fuel Line & Electrical Connections: We ensure all gas and electrical connections are performed safely and to the highest industry standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a portable generator and a standby generator?
A portable generator is a smaller, mobile unit that you must manually set up, fuel, and connect to appliances using extension cords. It’s suitable for powering a few essential items for a short time. A standby generator, on the other hand, is a permanent solution. It’s professionally installed outside your property and wired directly into your electrical panel. It automatically detects a power outage, starts itself, and seamlessly powers your home or business within seconds, offering a much safer and more convenient solution for uninterrupted power.
What size standby generator do I need for my home or business?
The right size generator depends entirely on your power needs. A smaller unit might be sufficient to run essential circuits like your furnace, well pump, refrigerator, and some lights. A larger generator can provide whole-house power, running everything from your central air conditioning to all your electronics without interruption. The experts at Sampson Electric will perform a detailed load calculation during your free on-site assessment to determine the perfect size generator for your specific residential or commercial needs in Connecticut.
What is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) and why is it important?
The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is the brain of your standby generator system. This device constantly monitors the power coming from the utility grid. When it detects a power outage, it automatically and safely disconnects your property from the grid and switches your power source to the generator. Once utility power is restored, the ATS switches you back to the grid and shuts down the generator. This seamless, automatic process is what makes a standby generator so reliable and effortless.
How long does a typical generator installation take?
A standard residential generator installation typically takes one to two days to complete. The process includes preparing the site, setting the generator on a concrete pad, installing the automatic transfer switch, running the necessary electrical wiring and fuel lines (natural gas or propane), and final system testing. Our team at Sampson Electric handles the entire process, including any necessary permits, to ensure a smooth, efficient, and code-compliant installation with minimal disruption to your property.
Do standby generators require regular maintenance?
Yes, just like a car engine, your standby generator requires routine maintenance to ensure it’s ready to perform when you need it most. Regular maintenance by a certified technician ensures your investment is protected and will provide reliable backup power for years to come.
