Backup Generator Installation Guide 

Ever thought about what happens when the lights go out? My neighbor waited until after a three-day outage to install his generator. Don't make the same mistake. 

Installing a backup generator typically takes about six weeks from consultation to completion. Between permits, weather delays, and equipment shipping, patience is key. Plan ahead! 

Choosing the right generator isn't rocket science, but it matters. For a standard 1,500-2,500 sq ft home, you're looking at a 14-18 kW unit. Think about what you absolutely need running during an outage - HVAC, refrigerator, lights? Make a list of what's essential for serving your family's needs. 

The installation process is pretty straightforward: 

  • A tech will visit for a free assessment 
  • You'll pick equipment that fits your budget 
  • They'll handle the boring permit stuff 
  • Professional installation (usually 1-2 days)
  • Testing to make sure everything works 

Portable generators might seem cheaper, but standby models are worth every penny. They kick on automatically when power drops, provide uninterrupted service to your entire home, and you won't be outside refueling in the middle of a storm at 2am. 

Costs vary wildly depending on generator size, installation complexity, and where you live. Get at least three quotes before deciding. 

Don't forget about maintenance! Twice-yearly service checks keep things running smoothly. Most companies offer maintenance plans - absolutely worth it for priority service when everyone else is scrambling after a major outage. 

Today's generators are surprisingly quiet and efficient. Your neighbors might not even notice you're the only house with lights on during the next blackout. 

The investment pays off quickly. Between saved hotel costs, prevented food spoilage, and protecting your home from freeze damage, a quality generator installation often pays for itself during the first major outage. Plus, it adds about 5% to your property value!
