Generator Installation in Manhattan
In Manhattan, standby generators protect townhouses, brownstones and commercial buildings — not typical apartments. Precision Power installs and wires generators with automatic transfer switches where the space and gas allow, with the board, DOB permit and Con Edison coordination handled.
Local Manhattan Expertise
Standby Generators for Manhattan Townhouses & Buildings
A standby generator needs outdoor space, a gas supply and clearances — which in Manhattan means townhouses and brownstones with a rear yard or roof setback, and commercial and multi-family buildings, far more than individual apartments.
For townhouses, we install whole-home generators on natural gas with an automatic transfer switch. For buildings, we size and wire generators to critical loads — elevators, boilers, life-safety — and prepare what the co-op or condo board needs to approve it.
We handle placement, the transfer switch and panel tie-in, gas coordination and the alteration agreement, DOB permit and Con Edison filings.

Manhattan Generator Questions
Generator Installation in Manhattan — FAQs
Can I install a standby generator in my Manhattan apartment?
Not in a typical apartment — generators need outdoor space, gas and clearances. They're suited to townhouses and brownstones with yard/roof space, and to commercial and multi-family buildings. We'll tell you honestly what your property can support.
Can you install a generator for my Manhattan building?
Yes — we size and wire standby generators to a building's critical loads and prepare the board paperwork and DOB filings.
Does it run on natural gas?
Where gas is available, yes — tied into the building or townhouse gas supply. We assess access during the site visit.
Do you handle board approval and permits?
Yes — the alteration agreement and board scope, the DOB permit, Con Edison coordination and the gas inspection.
