Home generators in Bedford Hills
Bedford Hills is a hamlet in the Town of Bedford, north of Mount Kisco along the Harlem Line. Homes range from older houses near the station to larger properties on wooded, rolling land farther out.
The Town of Bedford is split between Con Edison and NYSEG for electric service, so check your bill to know which utility serves your address. Many rural lots in the town rely on propane rather than a gas main.
A whole-home standby generator in Bedford Hills sits on a pad outside, runs on natural gas or propane, and starts on its own through an automatic transfer switch when the power fails. Published national ranges put a standard installed system at about $6,000 to $11,000, and larger units or long runs at about $9,500 to $24,000. See the cost table on our home page for sources.
Before anyone gives you a price, a contractor should visit, look at your panel and fuel supply, and work out the generator size from what you want to run. Most villages and towns in Westchester County require a permit and inspection for generator work, and your contractor should pull it. Placement has to meet the manufacturer's clearances from windows, doors and vents plus any local setback and noise rules.
We pass your request to an independent local contractor who works in Bedford Hills, and you decide whether to hire them. Please check any contractor's Westchester County license and insurance before you sign.
