Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a standby generator cost?
A whole-home standby generator with automatic transfer switch typically costs $8,000-$20,000+ installed, depending on the size and brand. Portable generator hookups with manual transfer switches run $1,500-$3,000. We provide free quotes for your specific situation.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to power. A 10kW generator handles essentials (furnace, fridge, lights, well pump). A 20-22kW unit powers most of a typical home. For farms with shops and outbuildings, you may need 30kW+. We'll calculate your load and recommend the right size.
Why do I need a transfer switch?
A transfer switch prevents backfeed — where generator power flows back into utility lines, creating a lethal hazard for power line workers. It's required by code and essential for safety. Never connect a generator without one.
How often does the generator need maintenance?
Most standby generators should be serviced annually — oil change, filter replacement, battery check, and load test. We offer maintenance plans to keep your generator ready when you need it.
