Whole Home Generator Installation near you
A permanently installed standby generator that starts on its own when the power drops. Often paired with solar and a battery so the generator only runs when the battery gets low.
What to expect
- A load calculation to size the generator
- An automatic transfer switch
- Gas line or propane tank coordination
- Permits, inspection and a startup test
Good to know
If you also want solar and a battery, say so. Pairing them lets a smaller generator run less often.
Before work starts: Permits, inspections, utility interconnection and HOA rules apply to this work. Your contractor handles permits, but following the rules is on you and your contractor, not HomeBackupPros. Ask any contractor for a certificate of insurance before work starts, and ask your own agent how solar or a generator affects your homeowners policy. Details
How much does whole home generator installation cost?
Contractors set their own prices based on the size of the job and what is involved, as a flat price or an hourly rate with an estimated total. Posting is free and you see every price before you decide.
Do contractors need insurance?
Yes. Every contractor quoting through HomeBackupPros must report general liability insurance. Look for the verified label if you want one whose certificate we have reviewed, and ask for a current certificate before work starts.
