Generator Installation

A complete install covers helping you choose the right unit, sizing it to your home's load, mounting it, installing the automatic transfer switch, wiring it into your electrical panel, connecting the fuel source, and testing the system. The electricians in our network handle each step so your backup power works the moment the grid goes down.

This is a job for a licensed professional. The work ties directly into your panel and usually involves a transfer switch and a gas or propane line, so proper permits, code compliance, and safe wiring are essential. A pro install also protects your warranty and keeps the system running dependably.

The biggest factors are the size and type of generator, whether you're powering a few essential circuits or the whole home, and how involved the transfer switch and fuel connection are. Portable setups with a manual transfer switch generally run $1,500 to $4,000, while whole-home standby systems installed professionally usually fall between $7,000 and $15,000.
