Whole-home standby generators (20kW+) cost more than portable setups, but provide seamless automatic backup.
Automatic transfer switches cost more upfront but provide hands-free operation during outages.
Natural gas, propane, or dual-fuel options each have different installation requirements and costs.
Panel upgrades or sub-panels may be needed to accommodate the generator connection safely.
