Barkhamsted is a rural Farmington River valley town in northeastern Litchfield County. Northeast Generator sizes, installs, and services Generac, Kohler, and other major standby generators for homes and businesses across Barkhamsted, from Pleasant Valley, Riverton, Barkhamsted Center, and West Hill. Our Bridgeport-based crews serve Barkhamsted along Route 44, Route 20, and Route 181, and we install natural gas units where the utility already serves the property and propane when the site calls for it. With 60+ years of experience, our team responds within 2 hours anywhere in our service area. Start with a free site visit or call 1-800-972-4264. We also serve nearby communities including Canton, Avon, Bloomfield, West Hartford, and Bristol.
Much of Barkhamsted is state forest and water-supply land around the Barkhamsted Reservoir and Lake McDonough, and the Farmington River runs through town. Eversource supplies the power, and in a town this wooded, trees and overhead lines share a lot of ground. A standby generator turns on by itself during an outage and keeps heat, refrigeration, sump pumps and other must-run circuits going. We plan the pad, clearances and fuel run around each lot’s trees and terrain.
From homes in Pleasant Valley and Riverton to properties bordering Peoples State Forest, a permanently installed generator protects the house whether you are there or not. Our Bridgeport-based crews install and service Generac, Kohler and other major brands in Barkhamsted and back every system with 24/7 emergency support.
Shops, home businesses and town facilities in Barkhamsted can keep the lights on through storms with commercial standby sized for their critical loads. We size facilities during the same free site visit we offer homeowners. Barkhamsted owners can also turn to us for RV and marine generators.
Eversource serves about 1,780 customers in Barkhamsted. The October 2019 bomb cyclone nor’easter knocked out 137 of 1,788, about 7.7% of the town, according to Eversource. After the December 23, 2022 windstorm, Barkhamsted was still being restored the following day, with Eversource estimating completion by the end of December 24. Forest covers much of the town, and an automatic standby generator keeps a home running while crews clear trees and restring lines.
Yankee Gas is listed as the natural gas utility for Barkhamsted, but with so much of the town in forest and watershed land, we confirm at the site visit whether gas actually reaches your property. If it does, we connect the generator to it. If not, we size and install a propane tank. Building and electrical permits are handled by the Barkhamsted Building and Zoning Department through its online Building Services Portal, and our project managers manage the process from start to finish.
With a service agreement, Barkhamsted generators get preferential scheduling, twice-yearly preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency repair, so they are ready when the next windstorm comes through town. Call 1-800-972-4264 anytime the unit will not start.
Third-generation, Bridgeport-based, and certified on Generac, Kohler, and other major brands, and we are a Kohler Titan Certified dealer. We handle sales, installation, maintenance, repairs, and design-build engineering for Barkhamsted homes and businesses, with a free site visit and response within 2 hours across our service area.

We have relied on Northeast Generator for 14 years and their service, pricing and fairness is excellent. We recently sold our home and the generator ATS panel failed 10 days before closing. NE and in particular, Addison, went out of his way to find and secure a compatible unit at a reasonable price and got it installed and tested with a couple of days to spare. I would definitely use them for generator related needs especially since I've heard horror stories from friends who went with other providers.
Read on GoogleNortheast Generator is a first-class operation. We've been using them for annual service since installation almost 10 years ago. They arrive on-time and do a quality service of our unit. The generator is obviously something that must be kept n good-working order. Servicing the unit cannot be done when the power goes out!! I'm happy to have a trustworthy vendor do the annual tune-up required.
Read on GoogleNortheast Generator installed my Generac 20kw Standby Generator almost 14 years ago, and have always provided great service. Most recently ants got into my generator's control panel requiring it to essentially be rebuilt. When Northeast was done, the generator was like new. Always a reasonable response time when responding to any issues, which is so important, especially if you live where power can go out any time.
Read on GoogleI have been using Northeast Generator for a number of years. Always a very professional, timely and courteous service. Never had a problem or an unresolved issue.
Read on GoogleNortheast Generator did a great job on my Kohler 20RCA install! The biggest part of the job was handled by Angelo and Bob, and they were just terrific! Knowledgeable, courteous and personable. When they did not have an answer, they knew who to call to get the answer quickly. Brian and Max also helped to provide top-notch service. I could not be happier with Northeast Generator!
Read on GoogleWe recently moved into a house with a Northeast Generator. When I called to inquire about servicing and maintenance they answered all my questions thoroughly and clearly. It was a smooth process to keep service up to date. They just completed the first service and the tech was knowledgable and took the time to go over everything. A great experience from start to finish.
Read on GoogleWe switched to Northeast Generator this past year after having bad service from another company. Northeast came highly recommended and I agree with the recommendation. They are very easy to work with, having great communications and scheduling, and are very knowledgeable. We are very happy that they are servicing our generator
