Standby Generators in Nassau, Bahamas

It depends on what you want to keep running. Essentials — fridge, lights, fans, Wi-Fi and a window unit — usually fit a 10–14kW unit. Whole-home backup with central air typically means 22–26kW. We do a free on-site load assessment and size the unit to your actual panel, so you pay for the capacity you need and not a kilowatt more.

As a working range: a turnkey home standby installation on New Providence — generator, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad, fuel hookup, electrical work and commissioning — typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on size and site. The unit itself is roughly half to two-thirds of that. We quote in writing after a free load assessment, with no hidden line items.

US exporters will sell you the box and ship it to the dock — and that is where their job ends. Customs clearance, transport, the pad, gas or diesel hookup, the transfer switch, permits and every warranty issue afterward all land on you, handled from another country. We do the whole job on-island and answer the phone after the sale.

For most homes, LP: it stores indefinitely, burns clean, and the generator stays ready without fuel runs. Diesel suits larger loads and properties that already keep diesel on site, but it needs fuel management and more frequent service. We walk through both at the assessment — tank placement and supply arrangements included.

The automatic transfer switch watches utility power around the clock. When BPL drops, it starts the generator and shifts your home over in seconds — whether you are home, asleep, or off-island. When power returns, it transfers back and the generator shuts down. No cords, no manual start, no being home for it.

Yes. We repair and maintain home standby and portable generators regardless of where they were bought — Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Onan and others. If your unit hesitates on outages, throws error codes, or hasn’t been serviced in over a year, book a service visit before the next blackout finds out for you.
