Frequently Asked Questions About Generator Installation

Do you need an electrician to install a generator?

Installing larger generators, especially whole home generators designed to power multiple systems in a house during an electrical outage, requires a licensed electrician. Professional installation is necessary to avoid inadvertently voiding your warranty for the generator due to errors. Having your generator Installation performed by a licensed master electrician also ensures proper connections and safe operation of your generator.

What size generator do I need for my home?

If you plan to power your entire house with a whole home generator, you will need enough wattage to supply multiple major electrical appliances. A large, high-quality, dual-fuel 10,000-watt generator is a good option for many homes.
If you want a generator for your travel trailer, a 3,000-watt inverter generator can probably power everything you want to use, including the air conditioner, refrigerator, TV, lights, and more.
We will help you calculate the generator wattage to get a general estimate of how much wattage you need for your home or recreational purposes.

How much does it cost to install a generator?

The cost of a large generator for emergency home power use varies widely, depending upon the type and size of the generator. Generator installation costs also vary, depending on the location of the generator, the amount of electrical wiring needed, and other factors, plus any annual maintenance and repair allowances that may be included.
On a monthly basis, depending on the current price for natural gas, the cost to run your emergency generator in exercise mode should only cost a few dollars per month.

How loud is the generator?

Air-cooled generators emit a noise volume of approximately 66 decibels at a distance of around 20 feet. This means that you can carry on a typical conversation between a couple of people at normal speaking volume while standing beside an air-cooled generator that is running.
