Factory-trained Generac installer with 35+ years of experience. Whole home standby generators, automatic transfer switches, sizing consultations, and maintenance plans.
North Jersey storms don't wait. When the power goes out, a Generac whole home standby generator kicks on automatically — in as little as 10 seconds — keeping your lights on, refrigerator running, sump pump working, and family safe. As a Generac authorized dealer and factory-trained installer, A. Russo Electric provides the full solution from sizing to installation to ongoing maintenance.
As an authorized dealer, we have direct access to Generac's product line, factory training, warranty support, and technical resources. This means you get expert sizing recommendations, professional installation by trained technicians, and a manufacturer-backed warranty that's honored locally. We're not just installers — we're Generac's trusted partner in North Jersey.
A Generac whole home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, connected to your natural gas or propane supply, and wired directly into your electrical panel. When utility power is lost, the generator detects the outage and starts automatically — no manual intervention needed. The system powers your entire home: HVAC, kitchen appliances, medical equipment, security systems, and more.
We install Generac Guardian Series, Protector Series, and commercial units depending on your power requirements and budget.
The automatic transfer switch (ATS) is the brain of the system. It monitors utility power 24/7 and, when an outage is detected, isolates your home from the utility and transfers power to the generator within seconds. When utility power is restored, the ATS transfers back and shuts down the generator automatically. We install and configure the transfer switch to prioritize your most critical circuits if a managed approach is preferred.
Generator sizing is critical. Too small and it won't power your home. Too large and you've overspent. We evaluate your electrical panel, calculate your total and essential load requirements, and recommend the right Generac unit for your home. This consultation is free and comes with a detailed proposal.
Starts within seconds of detecting a power outage. No manual setup or fueling required.
Connected to your existing gas line or propane tank. No need to store gasoline.
Powers everything — HVAC, refrigerator, lights, medical equipment, sump pumps, security systems.
A standby generator is a major selling point for buyers and adds real value to your property.
A standby generator is a mechanical system that needs regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation when you need it most. We offer annual maintenance plans that include oil and filter changes, battery testing, transfer switch testing, load bank testing, firmware updates, and a full system inspection. We also provide 24/7 emergency service if your generator has an issue outside of scheduled maintenance.
All Generac generators we install come with a full manufacturer warranty — typically 5 years for residential units, with extended options available. As an authorized dealer, we handle all warranty claims directly, so you have a local point of contact for any issues.
Anyone can buy a generator online, but only an authorized dealer can provide factory-trained installation, proper warranty registration, and ongoing support backed by the manufacturer. Non-dealer installations may void your warranty and leave you without support when you need it most.
