Generator Installation Services

There are two options for installing the generator at home in NJ: outdoors or indoors. There are also options for generator installs on a trailer, in the back of a car, but they are less common.

When installing outdoors, the following is required:

• protection from the external environment (all-weather noise-proof casing or, as it is also called, “hood”);
• a platform for the generator (foundation);
• a heating system for the cold season (there are options such as heating the coolant, heating the fuel, glow plugs, etc.).

When installing the generator indoors, this room must be equipped with:

• a ventilation system for the inflow of cold air from the street to cool the generator;
• a ventilation system for the outlet of hot air from the radiator of the diesel generator set;
• a system for removing exhaust gases to the street;
• a special industrial fan.

Once a location has been selected, your dealer’s on-site team will prepare the site, often with a concrete slab or pea gravel. They will connect the fuel line and install a transfer switch near the main switch. The transfer switch is the part of your backup power system that will automatically turn on your generator after a power outage. Before completing the installation, your dealer will verify that your home backup solution is working properly by simulating an outage. 

A backup generator is necessary for a home, store, workshop, any small business and any other facility where power outages occur periodically. Backup generators provide a stable supply of electricity to ensure the comfort of home residents, to power electrical equipment or to maintain a continuous production cycle at an enterprise.

The choice of a backup generator begins with determining what type of installation is required:

• diesel;
• gasoline.

Gasoline backup generators for the home are the most compact and are often chosen precisely for their small size and relatively light weight. Their power reaches 20 kVA, the continuous operation time is 9-12 hours depending on the engine power and the capacity of the fuel tank of a particular model. Diesel backup generators are usually much larger in size compared to gasoline models, surpass them in power and duration of continuous operation. At the same time, backup generators with a diesel engine consume more fuel, but since diesel is cheaper than gasoline, this disadvantage is compensated for during the operation of the unit.

Standby generator installation is a good way to protect yourself from power outages in a private home, enterprise, commercial or municipal facility. But when it comes time to connect the power station, the owner of the equipment cannot always cope with this without the help of competent technicians. In such situations, specialists from the Kozel LLC service center come to the rescue.

Our generator replacement services also include replacement parts and accessories. If you know it’s time for an upgrade or want to know if only certain components need replacing, we can advise you on the units and solutions that are ideal for your property, family and budget. 

In addition to traditional preventive maintenance, the Kozel company provides comprehensive services for troubleshooting and repairing backup generators. Our technical experts will help identify problems and eliminate them if necessary. 

Replacing a failed component is usually considered a repair. Only replacement of the faulty element can lead to repeated failure. When the generator is loaded, this is the possible time to fail again. 

Power failure is an opportunity when the generator is loaded. When emergency power is interrupted by a repeated failure, it is worth the downtime and repeating the repair process. 

Proven and established repair practices can almost completely reduce the risk of repeated component failures. Sometimes a manufacturer’s defect in a part that was not detected during testing can cause it to fail. This is a rare but random occurrence. 

Typically, when a recently replaced part fails, it’s because of something that wasn’t discovered during the troubleshooting steps of the repair process. Successful processes isolate the cause of failure. 

No two installation jobs are the same, and your local dealer can help you determine the installation plan that best suits your unique needs. On average, the cost to install a home backup generator range from $8,000 to $16,000, including the generator itself. Prices can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the installation process and your location.
