Loyal Lab Electric & Generators is an authorized Generac dealer installing whole home standby generators across the NH Seacoast, the Lakes Region, and southern Maine. Our master electrician and team have installed generators everywhere from coastal homes in Rye and Hampton to rural properties in Wolfeboro and Wakefield where outages run longest, through the Exeter area, and over the border into York, Maine under our Maine electrical license. Here is how our installation process works:

Generac’s standard coverage is a 5 year limited warranty, and the word limited is doing real work in that sentence. Not every component is covered for the full five years.
Every generator we install comes with Generac’s extended 10 year bumper to bumper warranty instead, at no additional cost. It is a true bumper to bumper warranty with full coverage on the unit, twice the length of the standard coverage, and it is not a promotion with an end date. It is simply how we do every install.
Here is the honest version of how that works. Any homeowner can buy the extended coverage directly from Generac at retail price. As an authorized dealer we get it at dealer pricing, and we use that savings to include it on every install instead of pocketing it. The aluminum enclosure that comes standard on every Generac unit is one reason these units hold up on coastal installs in towns like Rye and Hampton, where salt air eats steel hardware years early, and we back that with corrosion resistant hardware on our coastal work.
When you compare quotes, ask what the standard 5 year limited warranty still covers in year three. Then ask what happens in year six. The answers to both are why we include the 10 year.
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.
Under our Maine electrical license we also handle permitting on the other side of the border, including towns like York where the electrician’s affidavit is the oversight and the license on the truck matters even more.
Warranty Protection: Generac requires professional installation by a licensed electrician for any warranty to be valid. A DIY or handyman install can void your coverage entirely, leaving you exposed on an $8,000 to $18,000 investment. Installing with us goes further than protecting the standard coverage: as an authorized dealer we include the extended 10 year bumper to bumper warranty on every install at no additional cost, using our dealer pricing to cover what would otherwise be a retail purchase from Generac.
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 connects your generator to the monitoring dashboard in our Somersworth office, so it checks in with us around the clock. 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 monitoring, priority service when outages hit, and annual maintenance included, all for $39 a month. 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, Watchdog is the difference between hoping your backup power works and knowing it will. See how it works, what’s included, and exactly what it costs on the Generator Watchdog page.
If you live in New Hampshire or southern Maine, you already know that ice storms, nor’easters, and high winds can knock out power for hours or even days. Homeowners across the Seacoast, and especially in Lakes Region towns like Wolfeboro and Wakefield at the end of long distribution lines, deal with outages more often than most people realize. Here is 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 New Hampshire and southern Maine 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 across our full service area, from the Seacoast to the Lakes Region and into southern Maine. We will 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 across NH and southern Maine 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.
Yes to both. Generac’s standard coverage is a 5 year limited warranty, and limited means not every component is covered for the full five years. The extended 10 year warranty is a true bumper to bumper warranty with full coverage on the unit, and we include it on every generator we install at no additional cost. It is not a promotion with an end date. The coverage itself can be bought from Generac at retail by anyone; our dealer pricing is what lets us include it on every install instead of selling it as an add on.
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.
