Whole house generator systems are the most convenient home generators but are also the most expensive. As the name suggests, a whole house generator will power your entire home. These systems are usually what are called “stand-by” systems. Meaning, that as soon as the power goes out in your home, the home generator will turn on and power your entire home.

Partial generator systems typically only power the critical systems in your home, not all amenities or appliances in your home. These generators are less expensive than whole house generators. These systems can come as stand-by generators or portable generators.

In most instances, the size of your home and the type of generator you purchase will dictate the majority of cost for your Union, NJ home generator installation.
