01 / Scope

One request.
The whole job.

Most generator quotes stop at the box. A system that works depends on the sizing, the switch, the gas, the permit and the startup, so that's what we scope.

02 / Sequence

What happens when
the grid goes down

An automatic standby system doesn't wait for you to be home. The transfer switch runs the show. Here's what it does on its own.

06 / Questions

Straight answers

What does "turnkey" include?

Everything it takes to get a working system: sizing, generator, transfer switch, permits, pad, gas and electrical connections, inspection and startup. The exact scope is spelled out in your written quote.

How much does a standby generator cost?

It depends on size, fuel, how far the unit sits from your gas and electrical service, the transfer switch and local permit rules. That's why every job gets its own quote instead of a sticker price.

What size do I need?

That comes from what you want running. Some people back up essentials like HVAC, the fridge and the sump pump. Others back up the whole building. Sizing is confirmed with a load review on the site visit.

What does the transfer switch do?

It senses the outage, starts the generator, moves your power over, and switches back when the utility returns. It also keeps generator power from back-feeding the utility lines.

Do I need a permit?

In most places, yes. Electrical, and often gas and zoning permits. Permitting is part of the scope.

Do you take commercial and contractor work?

Yes. Businesses, property managers and general contractors with a generator scope on a project are all welcome. Pick "Business / project" on the form.

Where do you work?

We take requests nationwide and connect you with installers who serve your area. Enter your project ZIP and we'll follow up.

Does it cost anything to ask?

No. A quote request is free and there's no obligation to buy.

next outage.
