Storm-Ready Electrical for Guilderland Homes

Much of Guilderland is suburban housing from the 1960s through the 1990s, with colonials, ranches and split-levels on mature, wooded lots. Most homes are fed by overhead lines running past large trees, and ice storms and heavy wet snow regularly bring down limbs, cause outages and send surges through the system when power is restored.

That is why whole-house surge protectors, standby generators and transfer switches are among our most common requests here. A Type 2 surge protector at the panel protects furnace controls, heat pumps, well pumps and appliances that plug-in strips cannot reach, and a properly installed transfer switch lets a generator power the house safely without backfeeding the utility lines.

Toward Altamont and Fort Hunter, more homes are on wells and in rural settings, where keeping the well pump and heat running during an outage matters even more.
