Home generators in Irvington
Irvington is a village in the Town of Greenburgh on the Hudson, named for Washington Irving, whose home Sunnyside sits just to the north. The Old Croton Aqueduct Trail runs through the village. Streets rise steeply from the river, and many homes are older houses and estates on wooded slopes.
Steep, wooded lots mean both outage risk from falling limbs and tricky pad placement. Larger older homes may have multiple panels, which affects transfer switch planning.
A whole-home standby generator in Irvington 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 Irvington, and you decide whether to hire them. Please check any contractor's Westchester County license and insurance before you sign.
