Loyal Lab Electric & Generators is your authorized Generac dealer serving Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, and the entire NH Seacoast. Our master electrician and team have installed generators in homes across the region, from coastal properties in Rye and Portsmouth to rural homes in Wolfeboro and Wakefield where power outages are a regular concern. Here’s how our installation process works:
Want to learn more about sizing, permits, and what to expect throughout the process? Read our complete generator installation guide for a detailed breakdown.
A generator is a major investment in your home and it needs to be installed by a licensed electrician who knows what they’re doing. In New Hampshire, generator installations require electrical permits, utility coordination, and compliance with local building codes. Here’s why that matters:
Code Compliance: Every municipality in the Seacoast has its own permitting requirements. We handle all permit applications and inspections for generator installations in Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, Somersworth, and surrounding towns so you don’t have to navigate that process yourself.
Warranty Protection: Generac and most other manufacturers require professional installation by a licensed electrician to keep your warranty valid. A DIY or handyman install can void your coverage entirely, leaving you exposed on an $8,000-$15,000 investment.
Safety: Generator installation involves high-voltage electrical connections, natural gas or propane fuel lines, and automatic transfer switches that must be wired correctly. Our team is led by a NH Master Electrician with over 20 years of experience. We do this work every week and we do it right.
We are an authorized Generac dealer serving the NH Seacoast and southern Maine. Our certified technicians handle complete system setup including automatic transfer switch installation, panel upgrades, and all electrical connections.
Most generator companies install your unit and you don’t hear from them again until something goes wrong. We do it differently.
Our Generator Watchdog program monitors your generator around the clock so you never have to wonder if it’s ready when you need it. If your system reports an issue, we know about it before you do and we’re already working on a solution.
Members get 24/7 system monitoring, priority service when outages hit, and annual maintenance included in their membership. No more guessing whether your generator ran its weekly exercise cycle. No more forgetting to schedule maintenance. We handle all of it.
For homeowners across Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, and the Seacoast who depend on their generators through ice storms and nor’easters, Generator Watchdog is the difference between hoping your backup power works and knowing it will.

If you live on the NH Seacoast, you already know that ice storms, nor’easters, and high winds can knock out power for hours or even days. Homeowners in Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, and especially in more rural areas like Wolfeboro and Wakefield deal with outages more frequently than most people realize. Here’s when a standby generator makes sense:
Frequent Power Outages: If your neighborhood loses power multiple times a year, a standby generator eliminates the stress and disruption. It kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage, no extension cords, no trips to the garage, no waiting.
Medical Equipment: If anyone in your home relies on powered medical equipment like CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, or refrigerated medication, a generator isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
Well Water: Many homes across the Seacoast are on private wells. No power means no water, no toilets, no showers. A generator keeps your well pump running so you don’t lose water during an outage.
Home Office: If you work from home, even a few hours without power means lost productivity and missed deadlines. A standby generator keeps you connected and working.
Protecting Your Home: Power outages in winter can mean frozen pipes, lost food in the fridge, and a house that drops to dangerous temperatures. A generator keeps your heat, refrigerator, and critical systems running no matter what.
Homeowners across Dover, Portsmouth, and the NH Seacoast lose power every year to ice storms, high winds, and aging utility infrastructure. When the power goes out, the clock starts ticking on spoiled food, frozen pipes, dark rooms, and uncomfortable temperatures.
A standby generator changes that entirely. It monitors your utility power 24/7 and kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage. You don’t have to be home. You don’t have to do anything. The lights stay on, the heat keeps running, and your family stays comfortable while your neighbors are digging out flashlights.
A generator also protects your home from the damage that comes with extended outages. Power surges when electricity is restored can fry electronics, appliances, and sensitive equipment. A standby generator with whole-home surge protection keeps your power stable and your belongings safe.
We offer free in-home consultations for homeowners in Dover, Portsmouth, Rochester, Somersworth, and the entire Seacoast. We’ll assess your home, walk you through the options, and give you an exact price with no pressure and no surprises.
If you already have a generator, make sure it’s ready when you need it. Our guide to emergency generator readiness in Strafford County covers the maintenance steps that keep your system reliable year-round.
Every generator we install contributes $100 to The Rusty Fund, supporting local dog rescues across the NH Seacoast through our partnership with Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover.
While the actual installation process only takes 1-2 days, depending on coordination with utility companies and fuel providers, the entire process (including the planning stages) from start to finish can take 1-4 weeks.
Absolutely! During your free in home generator consultation we will go over all the options. Including size, location and helpful add ons.
Yes we do! We have a financing partner that offers a variety of different payment options.
Most whole-home generator installations in the Dover, Portsmouth, and Seacoast area fall between $8,000 and $18,000 depending on the size of the generator, your home’s electrical needs, and any site-specific factors. We provide a free in-home consultation where we assess your needs and give you an exact price with no surprises.
That depends on what you want to power during an outage. During your free consultation, we perform a load calculation to determine the right size for your home. Some homeowners want to power everything. Others just want the essentials like heat, refrigerator, well pump, and lights. We’ll walk you through the options so you can make the best decision for your budget and needs.
