RELIABLE BACKUP POWER
Keep Your Home Safe and Comfortable
In New England, severe weather can strike at any time, leaving homes without power for hours or even days. A home backup generator is the ultimate solution for protecting your family and property from power outages. It provides a seamless, automatic supply of electricity, ensuring your lights, heating, and A/C systems, refrigerator, and critical medical devices continue to run without interruption.
At Nashoba Air & BoilerWorks, our certified electricians specialize in providing comprehensive home generator services for homeowners throughout Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. From Westford and Concord to Nashua and beyond, we have the expertise to help you select, install, and maintain the perfect generator to meet your home’s specific power needs, giving you total peace of mind.
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
Whole-Home Generator Installation
A professionally installed automatic standby generator is a permanent, powerful addition to your home’s electrical system. Connected directly to your home’s fuel source, like natural gas or propane, these systems are designed to activate the moment an outage is detected. The system’s automatic transfer switch (ATS) safely disconnects you from the grid and switches your home to generator power in seconds.
Our team handles the entire installation process, from the initial consultation and sizing to final commissioning and testing. We ensure your new generator is placed correctly, connected safely according to all local codes, and fully prepared to protect your home. We’ll walk you through the operation of your new system so you can feel confident knowing your power is protected.
THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOUR HOME
Sizing & Selecting Your Generator
Choosing the right generator is critical for reliable performance. A system that is too small won’t be able to power all your essential appliances, while one that is too large can be inefficient. Our electricians conduct a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical load to determine the precise size and capacity you need to power everything from your lights and sump pump to your central A/C.
We work with leading brands known for their durability and performance, offering a range of options to fit your budget and power requirements. We’ll explain the differences between models and fuel types, helping you make an informed decision. Our goal is to equip your home with a dependable backup power solution that serves you for years to come.

PROACTIVE CARE
The Importance of Regular Maintenance
Like any major appliance, your home generator requires regular maintenance to ensure it operates reliably and safely. Routine service prevents unexpected failures and extends the lifespan of your investment. During a maintenance visit, our technicians perform a multi-point inspection, change the oil and filters, test the battery, check all connections, and run a full diagnostic test cycle.
Regular maintenance is the key to dependable performance during an actual power outage. By identifying and addressing minor issues before they become major problems, we help ensure your generator will start and run smoothly when it counts. Ask us about our maintenance plans to keep your system in peak condition year-round.

UNINTERRUPTED POWER
Experience True Peace of Mind
The primary benefit of a whole-home generator is the uninterrupted peace of mind it provides. When the power goes out, life doesn’t have to stop. Your lights will stay on, allowing your family to move about safely. Your refrigerator and freezer will continue running, protecting hundreds of dollars’ worth of food from spoiling. Most importantly, critical systems remain operational.
For families with members who rely on powered medical equipment, a generator isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. It ensures that essential devices are always running, no matter the weather. Furthermore, your sump pump will keep working to prevent basement flooding, and your heating or A/C system will maintain a comfortable and safe temperature inside your home.
This level of security allows you to ride out any storm without the stress and disruption that a power outage typically causes. Instead of worrying about when the utility company will restore service, you can rest easy knowing your home is fully protected and functional, keeping your family safe, comfortable, and connected.
SEAMLESS & AUTOMATIC
How Your Backup Power System Works
Modern standby generators are sophisticated systems designed for seamless, hands-off operation. The core of this system is the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS), a smart device our electricians install next to your main electrical panel. The ATS constantly monitors the flow of power coming from the utility grid into your home.
The moment the ATS detects a power interruption, it springs into action. Within seconds, it automatically disconnects your home’s electrical system from the grid lines and signals the generator to start. The generator powers up, and the ATS then switches your home’s power source over to the generator, restoring electricity to your designated circuits.
This entire process happens automatically in under a minute, whether you are home or away. You don’t have to do a thing. When utility power is restored, the ATS detects it, switches your home back to the grid, and signals the generator to shut down and return to standby mode, ready for the next outage. It’s the ultimate in convenience and reliability.

If you don’t see your question here, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team.
How large a generator do I need for my house?
The size of the generator depends on what you want to power. A smaller unit might cover essentials like lights, the refrigerator, and the furnace, while a larger, whole-home unit can power everything, including your central A/C. Our electricians will perform a load calculation to recommend the perfect size for your specific needs.
What is an automatic transfer switch (ATS)?
The ATS is the ‘brain’ of your standby generator system. It’s a device that monitors utility power and, upon detecting an outage, automatically disconnects your home from the grid and connects it to the generator. When grid power returns, it switches you back. This ensures a safe and seamless transition.
How often does my generator need maintenance?
We recommend professional maintenance for most standby generators at least once per year. This includes an oil and filter change, battery check, and a full system diagnostic test. Regular service is crucial for ensuring your generator is ready to perform reliably during an actual outage.
What fuel types do home generators use?
The most common fuel sources for permanent standby generators are natural gas and liquid propane (LP). Natural gas is convenient as it provides a continuous supply from your utility line, while propane is stored in a tank on your property and is an excellent option for homes without natural gas access.
Are home generators loud?
Modern home generators are much quieter than portable models. They are housed in sound-dampening enclosures and are typically about as loud as a central air conditioning unit when running. We also work with you on placement to minimize noise impact on your home and your neighbors.
Still Have Questions About Home Generators?
We understand that investing in a home generator is a big decision, and you may have more specific questions about your property or power needs. Our team of friendly and experienced electricians is always here to provide clear answers and expert guidance. Call us anytime to learn more.
