    Pricing Factors

    We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. While every home is unique, these are the main factors that influence the cost of your project:

    Generator Size

    Whole-home standby generators (20kW+) cost more than portable setups, but provide seamless automatic backup.

    Transfer Switch Type

    Automatic transfer switches cost more upfront but provide hands-free operation during outages.

    Fuel Source

    Natural gas, propane, or dual-fuel options each have different installation requirements and costs.

    Electrical Prep

    Panel upgrades or sub-panels may be needed to accommodate the generator connection safely.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What size generator do I need?

    It depends on what you want to power. A load calculation tells us exactly what you need—from essential circuits to whole-home coverage.

    What's the difference between standby and portable?

    Standby generators turn on automatically during an outage and run on natural gas or propane. Portable generators require manual setup and run on gasoline.

    Do I need a transfer switch?

    Yes! A transfer switch is required by code to safely connect a generator to your home's electrical system. It prevents dangerous backfeed to utility lines.

    How long does installation take?

    A portable generator hookup with transfer switch typically takes one day. Standby generator installations may take 2-3 days depending on the scope.
