Common Questions

Generator Installation FAQs — Bayonne, NJ

How much does a whole-home generator cost in NJ?
Whole-home standby generators in New Jersey typically cost $10,000–$12,000 fully installed, including the generator unit, automatic transfer switch, gas line connection, and permit. Smaller portable generator hookups with an interlock kit run $1,200–$2,500.
Do I need a permit for a generator installation in NJ?
Yes — all standby generator installations in New Jersey require an electrical permit and often a gas permit. Malfettone Electric pulls all permits on your behalf and coordinates the final inspection so your generator is 100% code-compliant.
How long does generator installation take?
Most whole-home standby generator installations are completed in one to two days. Gas line work and utility coordination may add time depending on PSE&G scheduling. We handle all coordination to get your system online as quickly as possible.
What size generator do I need for my home?
A 10kW generator covers essential circuits (lights, fridge, sump pump, HVAC). A 20kW–22kW unit powers your whole home including central air. Malfettone Electric performs a load assessment at your home to recommend the right size before any purchase.
What generator brands do you install?
Malfettone Electric installs Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Cummins standby generators. We can work with customer-supplied units or provide the generator as part of a turnkey installation package.
