Frequently Asked Generator Questions

How much does a standby generator cost?

For a 2,500-3,000 square foot home, choosing essential circuits like heat, hot water, refrigerator, well pump, outlets, and lighting would cost around $13,000-$15,000 fully installed. Opting for a whole house system would be closer to $14,000-$18,000, which includes generator accessories, site preparation, and full electrical installation.

What brand should I buy?

We offer a variety of reputable brands for our customers, including Kohler, Briggs and Stratton, and Generac. If you already have a brand preference, we respect that choice. However, if you are unsure, we are more than happy to recommend the best option based on your specific needs.

Is there a big difference in price depending on the brand?

When comparing generator brands, the price difference is usually minimal. The primary factor determining cost is the size of the generator you need based on your power consumption requirements. Ensure you choose the right sized generator to meet your needs without overspending on unnecessary features.

Do you provide service?

Our services are designed to meet the unique needs and preferences of each customer. From basic to premium levels, we offer a range of options to ensure that every client receives personalized and quality service.

How long does installation take?

Typically, we are able to schedule installation eight to ten weeks after our initial site visit. Installation can take one to two full days depending on the generator size and location.

How quickly will my generator be installed?

We are typically scheduling installations about 4 weeks after receipt of deposit.

Do you install generators in the winter?

Yes, we do install generators during the winter months. Our team utilizes heat mats to thaw the frozen ground, creating optimal conditions for installation even in cold weather. This technology enables us to continue providing reliable generator installations year-round, ensuring our customers have access to power when they need it most.
