Installation

Generator is set on a concrete pad, connected to the gas supply, and wired to an automatic transfer switch at the panel.

Generator Installation FAQ for Denver Homeowners

How often should Denver homeowners get generator installation?
Given Denver's intense high-altitude uv (5,280 ft elevation accelerates fading), most homeowners benefit from generator installation at least once a year. Post-hail roof and siding inspection (May–August) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Denver most need generator installation?
Ranch and tri-level homes from 1960s–1980s and Victorian and Craftsman bungalows in older Denver neighborhoods are the most common home types in Denver and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How big of a generator do I need?
For whole-home coverage, 20–22kW handles most homes under 3,500 sq ft. Critical-circuit-only coverage can be achieved with 10–14kW. We calculate your exact load to right-size the unit.
How much does a whole-home generator cost?
Generac and comparable generators typically cost $5,000–$15,000 installed, including the unit, transfer switch, gas connections, electrical work, and permits. Larger homes or propane installs cost more.
Does a generator run on natural gas?
Yes. Standby generators connect to your existing natural gas line, so no fuel storage is needed. Propane is also an option for homes without gas service.
How long can a standby generator run?
Natural gas standby generators can run continuously for days or weeks as long as gas service is maintained. They're designed for extended outages, unlike portable units.
