Home Standby Generators

Home Standby Generator Installation in Plymouth, MA

Always Be Ready — Stay Powered When the Grid Goes Down

What would happen if your home were to lose power right now? Would your heat, lights, or refrigerator still run? Would your family be safe and comfortable—or in the dark? Power outages in Plymouth and all over the South Shore are becoming all too common due to aging infrastructure, coastal storms, and increasing demand. The good news: Nipper Electric’s professionally installed home standby generator keeps your home running no matter what happens outside.

Our specialty is seamless, automatic whole-home generator installations that provide power when the utility grid fails, keeping your home warm, food cold, and family safe, whether it’s a brief power outage or an extended blackout.

Why More Plymouth Homeowners Are Investing in Standby Generators

In Massachusetts, we experience all four seasons, including ice storms, hurricanes, and nor’easters. These weather events can knock out power for hours or even days. During an outage, your home’s vital systems — like heating, cooling, sump pumps, security systems, and medical equipment — may be unusable without backup power.

A home standby generator is a permanent power solution that automatically turns on within seconds of a power failure. It runs on natural gas or propane and powers your entire home or selected circuits — so you can continue life as usual without fumbling with extension cords or fuel cans like you would with a portable generator.

Key Benefits of a Home Standby Generator

  • Automatic Power Restoration: There is no need to go outside in a storm — the system detects a power loss and starts automatically.
  • Whole-Home Coverage: Keep your lights, refrigerator, HVAC system, internet, and more running during an outage.
  • Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing your home and family are protected 24/7, especially during severe weather.
  • Increased Property Value: A standby generator is a wise investment that adds long-term value to your home.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Today’s standby generators are built to run efficiently and safely for long durations.

While smaller portable units only power a few essentials, a standby generator can keep your entire home online — without compromises or interruptions.

Professional Sizing and Installation by Nipper Electric

The right proportion is the most essential element of a successful installation, relating to the size of the generator compared with your house and energy needs. Too small a generator, and you risk overloads; too large, and you’ll be pouring money out for fuel and unnecessary equipment.

We do away with any guesswork associated with sizing by conducting an in-depth electrical load analysis. We’ll evaluate your home’s energy requirements, discuss your priorities, and recommend a system that matches your lifestyle — now and in the future. Then, our licensed electricians handle every part of the installation, including:

  • Site preparation and concrete pad installation (if needed)
  • Gas line coordination (for propane or natural gas)
  • Code-compliant wiring and transfer switch installation
  • Final testing, inspection, and walkthrough

We ensure everything is installed safely, legally, and up to code — no shortcuts, no surprises.
