Generac Generator Installation in Central Pennsylvania

Our Services

Whole-home standby generators, sized, installed and permitted by Goodridge Construction Group.

Goodridge Construction Group is a Generac dealer and installs whole-home standby generators across central and northeastern Pennsylvania. A standby generator sits outside on a pad, runs on your natural gas or propane supply, and starts on its own within seconds of an outage. You do not drag anything out of the garage, you do not run extension cords, and you do not buy gasoline in a storm. Our licensed electricians size the unit to what your house actually draws, set the pad, wire the automatic transfer switch, coordinate the gas connection, pull the permit and handle the inspection. One contractor, start to finish.

Whole-Home Standby Generators

A permanently installed standby generator keeps the whole house running through an outage instead of just a few circuits.

Our whole-home standby generator services include:

  • Generac Guardian Series air-cooled units, typically 14 kW through 26 kW for homes
  • Liquid-cooled Generac units for large homes, farms and light commercial buildings
  • Concrete or composite pad set, leveled and placed to meet clearance requirements
  • Mobile Link remote monitoring setup so you can check the unit from your phone
  • Weekly self-test configuration and first-start commissioning

The automatic transfer switch is what makes a standby generator automatic. It watches the utility, starts the generator when the power drops, and moves your house onto generator power without anyone touching anything.

Our automatic transfer switch services include:

  • Whole-house service-rated transfer switches
  • Essential-circuit transfer switches when a smaller unit is the right call
  • Smart management modules so large loads like air conditioning and well pumps take turns
  • Correct neutral and ground separation, per NEC Article 702
  • Labeling and a written record of exactly which circuits are backed up

Most generators that disappoint people were sized by guesswork. We run the load calculation before we quote.

Our generator sizing services include:

  • On-site load calculation covering heat, air conditioning, well pump, water heater and range
  • Starting-load review for well pumps, heat pumps and compressors, which draw far more at startup
  • An honest comparison of whole-house coverage against essential-circuit coverage and what each costs
  • Allowance for what you are adding next, such as an EV charger, heat pump or finished basement
  • A written quote that states the model, the kilowatt rating, and what it will and will not carry

A standby generator runs on natural gas or propane. The fuel supply has to be sized for it, not just connected to it.

Our fuel connection services include:

  • Natural gas connections coordinated with UGI, PA Gas or your local utility
  • Propane installations coordinated with your propane supplier, including tank sizing
  • Gas line sizing so the generator gets full pressure under load
  • Sediment trap, shutoff and flexible connector installed to code
  • Conversion between natural gas and propane where the unit allows it

Pennsylvania licenses electrical work at the municipal level, and generator installs usually need both an electrical and a mechanical or gas permit. We handle that paperwork.

Our permitting and coordination services include:

  • Electrical and gas permits pulled in your municipality
  • Third-party inspection scheduled and attended
  • Utility notification and meter coordination where required
  • Clearance checks against windows, doors, vents and property lines
  • Final sign-off documents handed to you for your records and your insurer

Our maintenance and related services include:

  • Annual generator service, oil and filter changes, and battery replacement
  • Electrical panel upgrades and 200 amp service upgrades
  • Portable generator inlets and manual transfer switches
  • Surge protection at the panel to protect the transfer equipment
  • Generator relocation when an older unit sits in the wrong place

Power That Stays On When the Grid Does Not

Outages in this part of Pennsylvania are usually weather, and weather does not keep office hours. A standby generator protects the things that fail quietly while you are gone: the freezer, the sump pump, the furnace, the well. For anyone working from home, running a farm, or caring for someone who depends on medical equipment, it stops being a convenience and starts being infrastructure. If your service is older or undersized, a generator is often paired with an electrical panel upgrade so the new equipment has something solid to connect to. Goodridge Construction Group installs them the way we build everything else, with our own licensed electricians, a permit on file and a single point of accountability.
