 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giroux did an outstanding job with my underground service installation and 200A panel upgrade. Their communication was great from the start, and they showed up right on time with a full crew ready to work. Because they had a whole team dedicated to the job, they completed it incredibly fast and kept our power downtime to an absolute minimum. The quality of their work was obvious and professional. They took the time to make sure the wiring looked just as good as it worked, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Highly recommend them if you want a reliable crew that gets the job done right.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giroux Electric was great starting with the first phone call. Justin came the same day, found the electrical problem,  had the time to hang an outside light for us, there was a problem with the card reader,  so it looked like it went through twice, I received a text message from Lynna saying there might have been a problem.  Everything ended up being good. Lynna texted again just to follow up to make sure everything was good. Prices were reasonable,  will definitely call Giroux Electric again!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've worked with a range of electricians accross the state on projects ranging from accessory lighting to airport renovations and in all of my trade experience I have yet to come accross an electrician company that is so pleasant and enjoyable to work with.

I am the foreman of Reimagined Roots and Giroux Electrical Contractors worked with us to supply power to a shed and greenhouse install in Northborough. During the first meeting with Josh before we broke ground, the conversation was immediately great even on a cold and rainy morning. We set clear goals for each other and every step of the process went smoothly.

Whether we were on the site together, or completing our tasks seperately, each and every step went according to plan with smooth communication and a joyful vibe.

My technicians John and Drew spoke incredibly highly of Josh's; Justin and Phil. Everday on site was in high spirits, working effictively, safely, and smoothly. Between the 6 of us, the install and cooperation throughout the project was immaculate and I couldn't reccomend an electrician higher for any sub contracting and cooperative projects.

Thank you Josh, Justin, and Phil. We look forward to working with you again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, premium service, professional and knowledgable. Giroux worked extensively on a new construction/addition to our home and also did some landscape lighting for us. They are not the most inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. Trustworthy and polished work. Josh in particular (the residential lead) is fantastic and the operations manager Mike, is super responsive.

HOME GENERATOR BASICS

What Are Generators?

Whole house generators are powerful machines that can power your entire home when the power goes out. Some of the things a generator can power include:

✓ Appliances
✓ Air Conditioner
✓ Water Heater
✓ Lights
✓ Outlets

These generators can connect directly to your home's existing gas line. They provide reliable power in the event of an electrical emergency .

Whole house generators are connected to your home's electrical system through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). It automatically switches between generator power when the electricity goes out and utility power during normal operation. The generator's engine starts automatically with the ATS when it detects a power outage.

The ATS cuts the power to the generator when the electricity comes back on and automatically returns power to the grid. If you need help with your home's electrical needs, our residential electrical services are available throughout Massachusetts .

RESIDENTIAL GENERATOR INSTALLATION

Why Do I Need a Generator?

There are many reasons why you should consider investing in a generator for your home. Let's talk about some of the ways owning a home generator can improve your life.

A home generator can provide dependable backup power when an unexpected outage affects your home. From protecting essential systems to helping keep your family comfortable and safe, having reliable backup power can make a major difference during an electrical emergency . Homeowners in Berlin, MA, Bolton, MA, and surrounding Massachusetts communities can benefit from having a dependable backup power solution in place before severe weather causes an outage.

01

Your Home Has Well Water

Your filtration and well pump systems will lose the ability to provide you with safe and fresh drinking water when the power goes out. You'll be struggling to find ways to get clean water for heating, bathing, and drinking when the power goes out if you don't have a generator.

02

Your Basement Has a Sump Pump

Many homeowners rely on sump pumps to keep their crawlspaces and basements dry. Losing power means you run the risk of these spaces and your belongings getting wet, especially if the power goes out due to a storm.

03

Food Spoils Fast

Your refrigerator and freezer are two appliances that are essential to keep up and running during a power outage. It can be expensive to replace your food if it goes bad. You may have to toss food once you've been without power for a few hours.

04

You Use an Electrically Powered Medical Device

You or one of your loved ones in your home may use an electrically powered medical device to stay safe. A power outage could quickly turn into a major health problem for that individual. A generator can keep those devices powered, ensuring the safety of everyone in your home.

The Benefits of Home Generator Installation

There are numerous advantages to generators beyond keeping your home fully powered. You, your loved ones, and future owners of your home will reap the benefits of your generator.

PROTECTION

01

HOME PROTECTION

Protection Against Expensive Repairs

Power outages can cause multiple damages that can be expensive to fix. This can include:

✓ Food spoilage
✓ Flooding due to your sump pump not working
✓ Burst pipes due to low temperatures

These financial risks are minimized when you have a whole-house generator. Your freezer and fridge will stay on, keeping your food cold. Your sump pumps will continue working, ensuring water stays out of your basement. During an electrical emergency , dependable backup power can help protect your home and reduce the impact of an unexpected outage.

02

CONTINUOUS POWER

No Power Disruptions

The main benefit of a generator is having power delivered to your home at all times.

✓ Automatic backup power
✓ Power when the grid goes out
✓ No need to choose which appliances to power

Your generator will automatically switch on when the power goes out. You don't have to worry about starting your generator and picking and choosing which appliances it powers. For homeowners who need dependable residential electrical services , a professionally installed backup power system can provide added peace of mind.

03

HOME VALUE

Increased Home Value

Installing a residential generator is a valuable investment for your home.

✓ Adds value to your property
✓ Appeals to prospective buyers
✓ Provides added security and convenience

If and when it comes time for you to sell your home, potential buyers will be very interested in the fact you already have a generator installed. Prospective buyers will enjoy the peace of mind, added security, and convenience that comes with a home generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about residential generator installation, whole-house generators, automatic backup power, and what to expect from a professional installation.

What is a whole-house generator?

A whole-house generator is a powerful backup system that can provide electricity to your home when the power goes out. Depending on your home's needs and generator setup, it can help keep important systems and appliances operating during an electrical outage.

What can a whole-house generator power?

A whole-house generator can provide backup power for many important parts of your home, including appliances, air conditioning, water heaters, lights, and electrical outlets. The exact setup depends on your home's electrical system and generator requirements.

How does a whole-house generator turn on during a power outage?

Whole-house generators are connected to your home's electrical system through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). When the ATS detects a power outage, it automatically switches your home to generator power. When utility power returns, the ATS switches your home back to the electrical grid.
