Central New Yorkers are not unfamiliar to short-term power outages during the winter months. Often ice and snow can build up quickly and cause your electric to fail. A generator installed by Alternative Power Solutions can help keep the lights and heat on until electric service can be restored, as was the case with the installation of this 7/8 kW Guardian Generator. This model includes an 8 Circuit Automatic Transfer Switch and costs approximately $4,000 Installed.
