Ask anyone who lives year-round in Wakefield, Union, Sanbornville, or Brookfield and they will tell you the same thing. The power goes out here more than almost anywhere else in the Seacoast region. Storms roll through, lines come down, and Eversource restoration times on the back roads can stretch into days.
For year-round families, that means no heat, no sump pump, no refrigeration, and no way to manage a septic system that depends on electricity to function. For seasonal property owners on Balch Lake, Lovell Lake, Great East Lake, and Pine River Pond, it means arriving at a camp in May to a flooded basement or a failed system that nobody was there to catch.
A standby generator does not just keep the lights on. It keeps the things running that you cannot afford to lose.
Every generator installation we complete in Wakefield includes a $100 donation to the Rusty Fund, our program supporting local dog rescues through the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover.
Up here, losing power is part of the season. When we are on a property in Wakefield we keep an eye out for anything that could become a problem, whether that is a panel that needs attention, an EV charger rough-in, or anything else. We will always tell you what we found and what it costs before any additional work begins. Learn more about our panel upgrade, generator installation, and EV charger services.
Loyal Lab Electric installed the largest air-cooled generator Generac makes on a Wakefield property in early 2026. A 28kW NextGen unit on a large home with a 400-amp service and multiple sub-panels. You can watch the full installation on YouTube.
We also installed a 20kW standby unit for a Brookfield family back in 2019. It still runs. At this point they barely notice when the power goes out. The generator just handles it.
Those two jobs are about as different as it gets in terms of scale, but the situation driving both is the same. Up here, losing power is not a question of if. A properly installed standby generator stops it from being your problem.
Most homeowners think about generators for lights and heat. In Wakefield, the bigger risks are often underground.
Sump pumps protect basements from the kind of water table that comes with a property near a lake or pond. Sump pumps are most critical during heavy storms, which is exactly when the power goes out. A flooded basement at a seasonal property nobody is watching can cause tens of thousands in damage before anyone knows it happened.
Septic systems with pump chambers are the same story. Electric pumps move waste from the tank to the drain field. No power means no pump, and a backed-up septic system is a serious problem that does not wait for the utility to restore service.
A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch means those systems keep running without anyone needing to be on-site.
Seasonal property owners in Wakefield face a problem that a standby generator only partially solves. The generator starts automatically when the power goes out. But if something goes wrong with the unit itself, a low oil condition, a fault code, a failed exercise cycle, nobody knows until they show up and find a problem.
Generator Watchdog is our remote monitoring program powered by Generac Fleet. We monitor your generator 24/7 and alert you the moment anything needs attention. Annual maintenance is included. Paired with a standby generator, it means your property is protected whether you are there or three states away.
Generator Watchdog: $39/month
Generator Watchdog VIP: $49/month
Setup fee: $99 standard / $199 for older units requiring additional equipment.
Fuel monitoring add-on available for $10/month.
Frequently enough that we hear it from almost every customer we work with up here. The combination of rural road conditions, aging infrastructure, and the storm exposure that comes with the lakes region makes Wakefield one of the higher-outage areas we serve. Standby generators have gone from a luxury to a practical necessity for a lot of properties here.
Yes. We also regularly work throughout the lakes region including Ossipee, Brookfield, Union, Wolfeboro, and New Durham. If you are not sure whether we cover your area give us a call. Chances are we have been there.
Seasonal properties are actually the strongest case for a standby generator with remote monitoring. A portable unit requires someone on-site to start it, manage the fuel, and monitor it. A standby unit starts automatically and runs without anyone present. Combined with Generator Watchdog, we can alert you to any issue at your property whether you’re there or three states away.
Yes. Loyal Lab Electric & Generators holds NH Master Electrician License number 13956 and carries full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. We pull all required permits and schedule inspections for every job that requires them.
We offer free estimates for larger projects like panel upgrades, generator installations, and EV charger setups. For service calls and troubleshooting, there is a service call fee but any work required beyond that will be quoted for free before any repairs begin
Most single-family homes in the area are well-served by a 18 kW to 24kW air-cooled unit. Larger homes with electric heating, multiple sub-panels, or high-demand appliances may need more. We do a load calculation before recommending anything so the unit is sized for your actual needs, not oversized to run up the cost.
We are an authorized Generac dealer and install Generac whole-home standby generators. We also provide ongoing maintenance and service for existing Generac generators. Rochester and the surrounding area experience enough winter storm outages that a standby generator is one of the best investments you can make for your home
The Rusty Fund is our charitable initiative supporting local dog rescues, including the Pope Memorial Humane Society in Dover. We donate $10 from every completed job and $100 from every generator installation. It is named after Rusty, the yellow lab who inspired everything Loyal Lab stands for.
Yes, and this is one of the most important reasons to have one in Wakefield. Sump pumps and septic pump chambers are electrically dependent, and they’re most critical during storms — the exact time you’re most likely to lose power. A properly sized standby generator keeps those systems running automatically.
Yes. We coordinate all permitting with the Town of Wakefield and schedule the required inspections. You don’t need to manage that process.
