Nassau County, like the rest of New York, experiences some pretty severe storms that can take out the power during the cool seasons. Not only that, but as summers get hotter, power outages on that side of the year are also becoming more common. This means that Nassau residents can benefit from reliable backup power, regardless of the size of their home.
Luckily, Skaggs-Walsh’s Strong Island Electric team offers generator installation for all shapes and sizes of generator needs.

Generator Installation in Nassau County
While Nassau County has a higher percentage of single-family homes than other nearby areas like NYC, not every family wants or needs the same size generator, some residents may prefer the reliability and whole-home coverage of larger standby generators, but others may value having a portable option they can use for recreational or commercial work like camping and construction.
Here is a quick rundown of the different generator types and what they offer homeowners:
