Generator Installation in Manhattan
Power outages can be a lot more problematic in places like Manhattan, where a single property blacking out can leave hundreds without power. Skaggs-Walsh offers backup power options to property owners looking for permanent multi-unit backup power installations, renters looking for portable or compact backup power that won’t violate their lease or damage their unit, and the few single-family homeowners in Manhattan, regardless of their desired generator type.
Generator Installation in Manhattan
Since Manhattan homes are primarily apartments, generator installation options look different depending on who is asking for it. Building owners are usually best served by large standby generators that can provide automatic backup power to multiple units. Renters typically need something compact and quiet that doesn’t require permanent installation, burning fuel, or anything else that could violate their lease. The few single-family homeowners in the area have a bit more flexibility as to what option they choose.
Here is a quick rundown of the different generator types and what they offer residents:
