Why New Providence homes need standby power
Load shedding is year-round. BPL outages are not just a hurricane problem — they hit during ordinary weeks too. A standby generator is a daily-life upgrade that keeps your A/C, fridge and water pump running every time the grid drops.
Hurricane season runs June–November. The smart window to install is before the season, not during the scramble. We size, permit and install so you are ready ahead of the first watch.
Absentee owners get automatic protection. An automatic transfer switch and remote monitoring mean your home is covered whether you are on the island or overseas — with a local team keeping watch.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a standby generator cost in Nassau?
A 22 kW whole-home standby generator installed typically runs about $9,000–$14,000 in the Bahamas once you include the unit, transfer switch, pad, fuel connection and inspection. Import duty, shipping and fuel type move the number. See our Bahamas price guide for full ranges.
What size generator do most Nassau homes need?
Most 3-bedroom New Providence homes with central A/C need a 22–26 kW standby generator. Larger western homes with multiple A/C units often need 30–48 kW. We size to your actual starting and running watts, not a guess.
Is a generator only for hurricane season?
No. BPL load shedding happens year-round in New Providence, so a standby generator is a daily-life upgrade, not just storm insurance. It pays off every time the grid drops, not only in June–November.
Do I need to be home for the generator to run?
No. An automatic transfer switch starts the generator within seconds of an outage and shuts it down when grid power returns — no one needs to be on-site. That is why absentee and second-home owners rely on automatic systems and remote monitoring.
Will salt air damage my generator?
It will if the unit is neglected. Salt air and humidity corrode unmaintained generators in 3–5 years. We fit corrosion-resistant enclosures and service the unit twice a year to protect it — see our repair and maintenance page.
Which brands do you install and service?
We supply, install and service all major brands, including Generac, GenMac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, Cummins and ONAN, plus diesel units. If you already own a generator, we can maintain and repair it.
Why are there so many power outages in the Bahamas?
BPL load shedding happens when generation capacity falls short of demand on New Providence, which is why outages hit year-round, not just during storms. You cannot control when the grid drops, but a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch means your home rides through every BPL outage without you lifting a finger.
