Our Generator Installation Process

1
Load Assessment

We calculate the electrical load you want to support — whole home or essential circuits — to properly size the generator.

2
Site Planning

We determine the optimal placement per local codes (clearances from windows, doors, and utilities) and plan gas and electrical routing.

3
Installation

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

4
Commissioning & Testing

The system is fully commissioned, test run, and registered with the manufacturer for warranty. We review operation with the homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
