What’s the difference between a backup and a standby generator?

A standby generator automatically starts and supplies power within seconds of a utility failure. Backup generators may be manually started or provide temporary power as needed, depending on the setup.

Do emergency lights require testing?

Yes. Emergency and exit lights must be tested regularly both monthly and annually to ensure battery backups work and illumination meets code requirements.

Will I need a permit for generator installation?

Yes, generator installations typically require permits and inspections. Our team handles all compliance steps so the job meets local and national electrical standards.

OUR EMERGENCY
GENERATOR SERVICES

1. GENERATOR SITE EVALUATION & LOAD ASSESSMENT

Every reliable emergency power system begins with a professional evaluation. We assess your property’s electrical load, usage patterns, and critical systems to determine the right generator size and setup from whole-building coverage to essential circuits that protect key systems.

2. GENERATOR SELECTION & INSTALLATION

We help you select the right generator type including standby and backup generators and install it in compliance with all NEC (National Electrical Code) standards and local NJ permitting requirements. Standby generators automatically begin providing power within seconds of a utility outage using an automatic transfer switch, ensuring uninterrupted electrical continuity for essential systems.

3. AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCH (ATS) INTEGRATION

A proper ATS is essential for any generator system. Our team installs and configures transfer switches that detect utility power loss and automatically switch your electrical load to backup power and back again once utility power returns.

4. MAINTENANCE, TESTING & WARRANTY PLANNING

A generator is only as reliable as its maintenance. We offer routine testing, preventive maintenance plans, and guidance on warranties to keep systems ready when needed. This includes regular inspections, functional test runs, and service plans that extend the life and reliability of your investment.

OUR EMERGENCY
LIGHTING SERVICES

1. EMERGENCY & EXIT LIGHTING INSTALLATION

Emergency lighting systems provide essential illumination during power failures or evacuations; they help guide occupants safely out of buildings and meet strict safety and building code requirements. Our team installs code-compliant emergency lights, exit signage, and battery backup units designed for reliable performance when circuits fail.

2. INSPECTION, TESTING & CODE COMPLIANCE

Emergency lighting isn’t just installed once it must be inspected and tested regularly to ensure consistent performance. We conduct comprehensive testing, including battery checks and functional tests, to help your building remain compliant with NFPA, OSHA, and local requirements that apply to emergency lighting systems.

3. UPGRADES & RETROFITS

Older systems and outdated fixtures often fail to meet modern energy or safety standards.

We provide detailed inspection reports, maintenance logs, and compliance documentation that help property managers, building owners, and facility teams satisfy inspection requirements and insurance standards.

WHY YOU NEED EMERGENCY
POWER & LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

PROTECT PEOPLE & PROPERTY

Backup generators keep life-critical systems running HVAC, medical equipment, security systems, refrigeration, crucial lighting, and communication infrastructure so occupants stay safe and operations remain uninterrupted during outages.

MEET SAFETY & CODE REQUIREMENTS

Emergency lighting is mandated by building and fire codes to ensure safe evacuation routes and minimize liability during emergencies. Without proper installation and testing, buildings risk fines, failed inspections, or worse during a real emergency.

REDUCE DOWNTIME & LOSSES

For businesses, unexpected outages can stop production, revenue, and services. Generators maintain continuity, protect assets, and help preserve revenue during extended grid failures.

PEACE OF MIND

Knowing your facility is equipped with dependable power backup and safety lighting gives confidence to property owners, managers, and occupants day in and day out.
