Generator or battery?
Standby generator
Runs as long as it has fuel, which makes it strong for long outages. Needs fuel and periodic maintenance.
Battery backup
Silent, no fuel, and pairs with solar to recharge. Runtime depends on battery size and what you're powering.
Not sure which fits? We install both and will help you choose.Learn about battery backup
What affects the price
Every home is different, so we quote after we look. These are the things that move the price most. You get the full price in writing before any work starts.
- Generator size and how much of the home it powers
- Fuel type and the gas line to the generator
- The transfer switch and any panel work
- Distance from the panel and site prep like a pad
- Permit and inspection fees
Standby generators questions
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to power. We look at your electrical system and the appliances you rely on, then recommend options at different price points.
How long does installation take?
Once permits are approved, a typical installation takes about a day. Some sites need excavation, which we'll identify during the estimate.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We file permits and work to get your approval as quickly as possible.
Natural gas or propane?
If your home has natural gas, that's usually the simplest fuel. Propane works where there's no gas line, with a tank sized for how long you want to run.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Generators run a short self-test on a schedule and need regular service like oil changes. Your manufacturer's manual sets the interval.
