Whole House Generators in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City, NJ
What Happens When You Don’t Have A Whole Home Automatic Backup Generator in Jersey City, New Jersey?
Jersey City sits at the mouth of the Hudson River, directly across the water from Lower Manhattan, one of the most storm-exposed stretches of the entire Eastern Seaboard. Summers bring heat, humidity, and the occasional severe thunderstorm rolling in off the water. Fall and winter bring the real risk: nor’easters and coastal storm surge capable of flooding low-lying neighborhoods along the waterfront, in Bergen-Lafayette, and around Liberty State Park.
Jersey City residents don’t have to imagine what a major storm can do to the power grid. They lived through it. When Superstorm Sandy made landfall in October 2012, storm surge flooded PSE&G substations along the Hudson River and the Arthur Kill, cutting power to customers across Hudson County for days. Statewide, more than 2.5 million homes and businesses lost electricity, and full restoration in the hardest-hit areas took more than a week.

Power in Every Season
For Hudson County, Sandy wasn’t a once-in-a-lifetime fluke. It was a preview of what a direct hit on a densely built, low-lying waterfront city looks like. PSE&G, the utility serving most of Jersey City, reported roughly 1.7 million of its 2.2 million customers affected statewide, with substations along the Hudson River among the hardest hit by storm surge.
If your power went out in Jersey City during Sandy, it likely stayed out for days, not hours. High-rise residents lost elevators along with electricity. Refrigerated food spoiled, working from home became impossible, and getting in or out of the PATH system and the Holland Tunnel corridor came with its own delays as traffic signals across the city went dark.
Even homeowners who didn’t flood still lost power, because the outage wasn’t about water in their own basement. It was about a flooded substation blocks or miles away. That’s the reality of relying on a single, centralized grid in a coastal city: one storm surge event can take out power to tens of thousands of homes that never saw a drop of floodwater.
It doesn’t take a named hurricane to put Jersey City in the dark, either. Nor’easters, high-wind events off the Hudson, and routine summer thunderstorms have all caused shorter, more frequent outages in the years since. When officials warn of an approaching storm, more Jersey City homeowners are deciding it’s time to stop waiting for the next one, with an automatic, whole-home backup generator from Canter Power Systems.

Whether it’s a nor’easter, a coastal flood advisory, or just a summer storm rolling off the Hudson, your backup generator turns itself on automatically within seconds of the power going off, and stays on until utility service is restored. Even if the outage hits while you’re still working your way through the Holland Tunnel approach or up Route 1&9, you don’t have to worry. Your generator will already be running everything you count on at home.
Imagine This Scenario Next Time the Power Goes Off in Jersey City
Whether you live Downtown, in Journal Square, The Heights, or Greenville, your lights and power are ON, even if the rest of the block is dark. You can heat or cool your home, cook, wash dishes and clothes, charge your phones and laptops, and keep your refrigerated and frozen food safe. If you or a loved one depend on power for medication refrigeration or assistive medical equipment, you’re covered.
Your whole household can keep working, keep the elevator running if you’re in a high-rise, stream the news, and stay in touch with family, friends, and work. With a Generac whole-home backup generator, you can even choose to run only certain circuits during an outage if that fits your household better. That choice is entirely up to you.
