Does a generator installation require Town Permint?
Yes. Most towns require that you obtain a Building Permit prior to the installation of a permanent generator. Don’t let the “other” guys tell you that you town doesn’t require a building permit! Unfortunately, there are plenty of “hacks” out there that install generators without obtaining a permit just to avoid another fee. In reality, obtaining a Building Permit is for your safety! By requiring a Building Permit, most towns will also require an Electrical Inspection – this is also for your safety. If your contractor wants to skip these steps show them the door – they aren’t looking out for your best interest.
