Recent storms have left many people very concerned about power failures in the Hudson Valley. The unprecedented destruction has cost many people thousand of dollars in damages.

The builder can install all the wiring and proper hookups so that if and when the new owners decide to they would just hook up the generator. No complicated process involved.

The process is so much easier this way. You decide early on how much power you would need and this will help you to gauge the size of the unit you would need to purchase.
The prices for the actual generator will vary depending on the size of the home, and just how much power you will need to function in your home. Be sure to consult with a professional to learn how to use the generator. Your builder can recommend what size unit he recommends based on the installation of the hookup. Be responsible when using the generator.
