New York experiences power outages for a number of reasons, and with Queens having a near-even mix of single-family and multi-unit homes, it can be hard to find the right backup power options for the many different properties. Historic neighborhoods in Queens also struggle to find quality installers who understand how to work with older electrical setups.
Luckily, Skaggs-Walsh’s Strong Island Electric team offers whole-home and portable generator installations and experienced installers to make sure local residents have affordable and reliable backup power.

Generator Installation in Queens
While Queens has many more single-family homes than other boroughs, there are still a good number of multi-unit and smaller properties with diverse power needs. While larger single-family homes may simply require a large standby generator to keep all the lights and appliances on, smaller properties may get away with more versatile and portable options that can be used for recreation and emergency backup power.
As a result, we have a wide variety of options to meet all of our customers’ needs.
Here is a quick rundown of the different generator types and what they offer homeowners:

We offer generators from proven brands that we trust to take care of our local customers. The brands that we offer for new installs include:
