Generator Pricing

How much does a standby generator cost?

Are there price differences between generator brands?

Installation

How long does generator installation take?

A typical residential generator installation takes one to two days once the equipment arrives and permits are in place. The full process from initial consultation to completed installation usually takes a few weeks, depending on permitting timelines in your area.

Can you install a generator in winter?

Yes! We install generators year-round, including during New England winters. In fact, many customers choose to install before storm season so they are protected when they need it most.

What brand should I buy?

The best brand depends on your specific needs, budget, and preferences. We carry Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and other leading brands. Our sales team will help you compare options and choose the right fit.

Service & Maintenance

Do you provide service on generators you did not install?

Absolutely. We service all major generator brands regardless of where you purchased or who installed your unit. As we like to say: "We do not care where you got your generator. We just care that it works."

How often should I have my generator serviced?

We recommend at least annual maintenance to keep your generator in peak condition. This is also required by most manufacturer warranty programs. We offer annual, semi-annual, and comprehensive service agreements to fit your needs.

What does a maintenance visit include?

A typical annual maintenance visit includes inspection of all major parts, oil and filter replacement, spark plug replacement, inspection and adjustment of high-wear items, output verification, safety shutdown check, and automatic transfer switch inspection.
