Whatever scale you need, from a portable unit for essentials to a whole-house system that runs everything.
Power for your entire property, so an outage doesn't change how the house runs.
Permanently installed units that start automatically when the power drops.
A more affordable option for running essential circuits and equipment.
Backup power for businesses, sized to keep operations running.
Complete systems built around your property's actual load.
A generator is a significant investment, and one people rarely plan for until an outage makes the case for them. Flexible financing through Synchrony Bank spreads the cost so the work doesn't have to wait.
RE: Brendan Frain Electric: When I was searching for a whole house generator Brendan Frain Electric returned my call and sent over all the details about the Generac generator and then scheduled a time to come to the house and assess all our needs and the current electrical infrastructure within my home. In my situation, Brendan noticed that rain water was getting into the Weatherhead wire jacket and into the Service panel. Brendan said this would have to be replaced as these items were corroded and would not pass final inspection when the generator is complete unless they were repaired and replaced. I was relieved that this issue was caught and fixed before something terrible would happen…like a fire. Brendan’s work is impeccable and he is always on time when he schedules work time and meetings. I can’t say enough for the work that he had done with this installation. The generator, weatherhead, 200-amp service panel, the Gen Transfer Switch. Trenches/Conduit and wire and Generator pad. I highly recommend Brendan Frain Electric for all your electrical needs, including Whole House Generators! - Jeff Duhaime
Great price | $5,000+ We had an excellent experience with Frain Electric. They installed our new generator and coordinated all the necessary plumbing. During the installation, they also updated the wiring and replaced any parts that weren’t up to spec—all while staying within the original quote. The team was courteous, fast, professional, and extremely neat. They took great care of both the inside of our home and our landscaping, leaving everything clean when the job was finished. We highly recommend Frain Electric for their quality work, attention to detail, and professionalism.
Highly recommend Frain Electric !! Brendan and his crew were so easy to work with .,I’m amazed at how effortlessly they installed a complicated Steam Shower Generator with all its components and they also installed a brand new whole house Generator made by Generac . It was a big project that went so smooth without issue . They made it all look too easy and gave me a fair price ! Highly recommend this
I had Frain Electric provide wiring for a hot tub. Brendan also suggested updating the overall system which reminded me that I also wanted a generator hookup. He gave me a fair price and above all did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it. Excellent crew, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend Frain Electric.
It depends on whether you want to run essentials like heat, the well pump and the refrigerator, or the whole house including air conditioning. We size the unit to your actual loads rather than selling you the largest one available.
A standby generator is permanently installed and starts automatically when the power drops. A portable unit is cheaper, needs to be set up and fuelled manually, and typically runs a few circuits rather than the house.
Yes. That is the main advantage of a standby unit. It detects the outage and starts without anyone being there, which matters if you travel or if the house has a well pump, a sump pump or a freezer that cannot be left.
Regularly, because it sits unused for months and then has to work immediately. Servicing is also usually what keeps the manufacturer warranty valid.
