A generator can damage a well pump if it isn’t sized correctly or if the power it produces isn’t stable. Many homeowners assume running a well pump on a generator is straightforward, but the wrong setup can shorten the life of the pump or lead to complete failure. In rural areas across the Southern Tier, […]
Your generator kicks on during an outage, runs for a few seconds or minutes, then shuts down. The lights go out again, and you are right back where you started. It is one of the most frustrating problems homeowners deal with during a storm. There are several reasons this happens. Some are simple to check. […]
A 6500-watt generator is a common size homeowners consider, and it makes sense to ask what it actually powers. In real outages, the answer comes down to running watts, starting watts, and what needs to turn on at the same time. Running watts are what an appliance uses while operating. Starting watts, or surge wattage, […]
A generator that is stored the wrong way often will not start when you need it most. In Upstate New York, that usually means finding out during a storm after it has been sitting for months. Most portable generators sit unused for 6 to 8 months between fall and spring, which is long enough for […]
It is a common question during storm season in the Hudson Valley: can you charge a Tesla with a generator? If the grid is down in Westchester or Poughkeepsie, your vehicle becomes part of your emergency plan. The short answer is yes, but only if the generator provides the right power quality and grounding configuration. […]
If you are asking what can a 4000 watt generator run, you are probably planning for outages or comparing models before a purchase. A 4000-watt unit sits in the middle of the portable generator range. It is strong enough to handle core household essentials, but it is not designed to power an entire home with […]
The short answer to can a propane generator run on natural gas is yes, most modern standby generators are designed to operate on either fuel. However, it is not as simple as disconnecting one hose and attaching another. Propane and natural gas have different energy density levels, pressure requirements, and combustion characteristics. Safe operation requires […]
If you have lived in New York for a while, you already know how unpredictable the power grid can be. One week you are running the air conditioner, the next you are digging out from a snowstorm. Between the weather and the aging grid, outages are just part of life here. That is why so […]
If you live in New York, you know power outages can happen any time. A heavy snowstorm, a summer thunderstorm, or even a maintenance issue can knock out electricity without warning. When the power goes out, you start thinking about what stays on and what does not. That is when many homeowners start asking if […]
When a storm hits Syracuse, no one wants to stumble in the dark looking for flashlights and extension cords.

Say About Us
On the hottest day yet in recorded history, on the morning after the Independence Day holiday, the team of Jeff, Wayne, Steve and Isaac appeared before 8:00, ready to go to work. The coordination and efficiency on display over the next few hours brought to mind a military exercise. And they did this in a very customer friendly manner. The completed installation is beautiful, they left their work areas immaculate, and shrubs in the installation area were gently treated. I also want to acknowledge our salesman, Jeff, who worked hard to secure our business. I am so glad we decided to go with HPS...
