Generator Installation in Queens
When the power goes out in Queens, a standby generator keeps the heat, the sump pump and the fridge running. Precision Power installs whole-home generators for Queens homes — sized, gas-connected and wired to an automatic transfer switch, permits handled.

Standby Generators for Queens Homes
Queens is a borough of homeowners with something to protect — finished basements, sump pumps, home offices and family members who can't lose heat or medical equipment in an outage. Detached homes in Bayside, Whitestone, Douglaston and Fresh Meadows have the yard or side-lot space a standby generator needs.
A whole-home standby generator runs on your natural gas line (common across Queens) and switches on automatically within seconds of an outage through an automatic transfer switch — no cords, no gas cans. We size it to what you actually need to power, from essentials to the whole house.
We handle the full install — the generator pad, the transfer switch, the panel tie-in and the gas and electrical permits — filed with the DOB and coordinated with Con Edison, with the gas hookup arranged.

What's Different Here
Standby Power Built for Queens Homes
Automatic, gas-fed and sized to your home.
Natural Gas or Propane
Most Queens homes tie into the natural gas line; where there's no gas, we set up propane. Either way, no refueling mid-storm.
Sized to Your Home
Essentials only or the whole house — we run the load calculation and size the generator and transfer switch to match.

Queens Generator Questions
Generator Installation in Queens — FAQs
What size generator do I need for my Queens home?
It depends what you want to keep running — just the essentials (heat, sump, fridge, a few circuits) or the whole house. We run a load calculation and size the generator and transfer switch accordingly.
Does a standby generator run on natural gas?
Usually, yes — most Queens homes tie the generator into the existing natural gas line so it never needs refueling. Where there's no gas service, we set it up on propane.
Will it turn on by itself?
Yes. A whole-home standby generator with an automatic transfer switch detects the outage and starts within seconds, then switches back when utility power returns — no action from you.
Do you handle the permits and gas hookup?
Yes — the electrical permit is filed with the DOB, we coordinate Con Edison, and we arrange the gas connection and inspection.
