New York experiences power outages in both the cold, stormy seasons and the hot, muggy ones– and Suffolk County is no exception. With the average age and size of homes in Suffolk County, it can be hard to find solutions that can provide the amount of power most property owners need.
Luckily, Skaggs-Walsh’s Strong Island Electric team offers whole-home and portable generator installations to make sure Suffolk residents have a backup power option that fits their needs and budget.

Generator Installation in Suffolk County
While Suffolk County is primarily detached single-family homes, not every family wants or needs the same generator. Some residents may simply be looking for the best possible home backup power, and we can set them up with a whole-home standby generator. Others may be looking for a more versatile and portable option that they can use for recreation and to keep a couple of rooms powered in an emergency, and we can easily find them a portable generator with enough output to power the most vital areas of their home.
Here is a quick rundown of the different generator types and what they offer homeowners:
