Thinking of installing a generator? Don’t wait too long!

Colorado State University has just updated it’s 2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season forecast and is predicting an above average season. According to The Weather Channel, CSU is predicting 19 named storms including 9 hurricanes with 4 being a Category 3 or higher.

While we can typically work quickly to get your propane tank installed, there are rules and regulations that must be followed. In New Jersey, for example, a permit must be filed, and inspections must be completed by a building inspector.

So, while you still have time to plan, purchase and install your new whole house generator, sooner rather than later is the best course of action. On our generator page, you can see a list of trusted contractors that we have worked successfully with in the past.

Once you have your contractor selected and know the size of the generator, give us a call. We’ll send one of our knowledgeable sales folks out to look over your plan and size the propane tank. We size propane tanks with enough propane to run your generator for a week. Seems like a long time, right? It’s not. If there’s a bad enough storm and trees/powerlines are down, we may not be able to get to you quickly to refill your tank. Sizing the tank correctly to carry you through is an important part of the process. This is not the area to skimp on your generator installation.
