Package scope & installation conditions
Know what your package covers
The same installation conditions apply to our 22, 24, 26 and 28 kW options. Your written proposal separates included work from additional items and confirms the total price for your home.
Within 25 feet of both connections. Starting prices apply when the generator is within 25 feet of the electrical panel and within 25 feet of the existing gas connection. The actual electrical and gas routes, equipment access and site conditions are reviewed before pricing is confirmed.
Included work, itemized in writing
Your proposal identifies the equipment and work included in your agreed price:
- Generator & transfer equipment: selected capacity, exact model, transfer switch and any load-management equipment.
- Installation labor & materials: electrical connections, circuit work, installation routes and the agreed gas-connection work, including who provides it.
- Delivery & placement: equipment delivery, access requirements and the agreed equipment-support or base work.
- Approvals & startup: permit, inspection and utility-coordination responsibilities where applicable, startup and functional checks, and operating information.
Outside the standard conditions
These items may require an additional line item in your estimate:
- Electrical or gas runs longer than 25 feet, with the additional labor and materials they require.
- Trenching, rock removal, difficult access, landscaping or surface restoration.
- Electrical panel or service upgrades, repairs to existing wiring, or additional load-management work.
- Gas meter, regulator or fuel-supply upgrades; new propane equipment or utility-provider charges.
- Optional accessories, monitoring subscriptions and maintenance that are not expressly included.
Permits, concrete/base work and maintenance: these are not automatically included in the advertised starting price. Your proposal must identify whether each is included, priced separately or outside our scope. Any included maintenance will state its duration and covered visits or tasks.
Does the starting price guarantee the final cost?
No. The advertised price is a starting point for the selected capacity under the standard installation conditions. The property assessment, exact equipment and agreed work determine the final written estimate. Applicable taxes and third-party charges, if any, should be shown separately.
What if the project needs additional work?
Additional work should be described and priced in the written proposal. If a new requirement is found after the scope is agreed, the added work and price must be confirmed with you before it proceeds.
Will a larger package power everything in my home?
Capacity alone does not guarantee whole-home coverage. We review the loads you want to support, starting requirements, fuel supply and any load-management needs before recommending a generator.
A simple view of your system
How backup power reaches your home
The transfer switch connects your home to utility power or generator power. The gas supply fuels the generator.

Simplified system overview. Equipment selection and the final installation arrangement are confirmed for your property.
Start with what you want to power
A useful backup plan starts with your household, rather than a generator size. List the appliances, rooms and systems you want supported, then identify what matters most.
Everyday essentials
Consider refrigeration, selected lights, communications and other equipment you rely on during an outage.
Comfort & larger loads
Discuss air conditioning, pumps and other major equipment individually so their requirements can be evaluated.
A broader home plan
If you want wider coverage, discuss which loads need to operate together and how the system will manage them.
“Power the house” can mean different things. A written list helps connect your expectations to the equipment and installation scope.
Standby generator installation
A permanently installed standby system can provide automatic backup when paired with the appropriate transfer equipment. The project brings together the generator, electrical connections, fuel supply and an approved installation location.
We begin with the loads you want supported and the existing electrical system. From there, the planning conversation covers equipment selection, routing, access and coordination with other work at the property.
Discuss who will provide the generator, prepare the site, handle fuel-related work and complete any required approvals. Those responsibilities should be clear in the proposal before scheduling.
Transfer switches & electrical connections
Transfer equipment manages the connection between the utility supply and a backup source. It is a central part of the system design, rather than an accessory chosen separately from the generator.
Automatic transfer
A compatible automatic transfer switch is part of a standby system designed to change power sources automatically. Equipment selection and the circuits being supported need to be reviewed together.
Manual connection arrangements
Some backup setups require the homeowner to perform a planned operating sequence. The appropriate connection equipment depends on the generator, panel and project design.
Send the generator model and available panel information with your request. We review the intended system before defining the electrical work.
Portable generator connection options
Already own a portable generator? Start by sending the model and the equipment you would like it to support. A suitable property connection is a separate electrical project from purchasing the generator.
We review the generator’s output connection, proposed location, electrical panel and the intended loads. The scope may involve an inlet and suitable transfer equipment, depending on the approved design and equipment compatibility.
Before moving forward, make sure the proposal explains the connection arrangement, what can be supported and which operating information will be provided.
Location, access & project preparation
The proposed location affects the electrical route, site work and coordination. Generator placement also needs to follow the selected equipment’s requirements and applicable local approvals.
- Proposed equipment location, available space and service access
- Electrical panel and meter locations, with the anticipated wiring route
- Fuel supply and the scope of any work by other trades
- Site preparation, equipment support and surface restoration
- Property restrictions and any required project approvals
Share the property address, equipment details and your backup priorities first. Readily accessible exterior views or a simple property layout can help begin the review. Final placement and installation details require an assessment of the actual site.
Planning your installation schedule
Scheduling depends on the agreed work, equipment availability, access and required coordination. We confirm the next steps after reviewing the project; the initial request helps us determine what information is still needed.
Backup power questions
What size generator do I need?
The answer depends on the equipment you want supported and the way those loads operate. Begin with your priority list and available appliance information so the system can be evaluated before a size is proposed.
Will a generator run my air conditioning?
That needs to be assessed using the specific air-conditioning equipment and the rest of the intended loads. Include it in your priorities so capacity and starting requirements can be reviewed.
What is the difference between a standby and portable setup?
A standby system is permanently installed and can use automatic transfer equipment. A portable setup typically involves moving the equipment into position and a manual operating process. The electrical connection must be designed for the selected equipment.
Can you review a generator I already purchased?
Yes. Send the exact model, product information and the loads you want to support. We can review the proposed electrical connection and confirm the work we can provide.
Are fuel work and site preparation included?
Your proposal identifies the agreed gas-connection work, site preparation and who is responsible for each task. Gas-supply upgrades, concrete/base work, trenching and restoration are not assumed to be included in the starting price. Review the shared package conditions ↑
Does installation include ongoing maintenance?
Maintenance is included only when the written proposal expressly lists it. Any included plan will state its duration and covered visits or tasks; otherwise, future maintenance is a separate service. Startup checks and operating information are itemized in the installation scope.
