Generator Installation

The electricians in our network handle the full install, including helping you pick the right unit, sizing it to your home's load, setting the automatic transfer switch, wiring it into your panel, connecting the fuel source, and testing the system. Whether you want a portable hookup or a whole-home standby generator, you'll get matched with a pro who does it all.

Generator installation involves your electrical panel, a transfer switch, and often a gas or propane connection, all of which carry real safety and code requirements. Hiring a licensed pro keeps the work safe, properly permitted, and backed by a warranty, so the system runs reliably when you need it most.

Cost depends on the size of the unit, whether you want partial or whole-home coverage, and the complexity of the transfer switch and fuel hookup. A portable generator setup with a manual transfer switch often runs around $1,500 to $4,000, while a whole-home standby system with professional install typically lands between $7,000 and $15,000. The electrician you're matched with gives you a clear quote upfront.
