How to Begin Your Generator Installation

Launching your whole house generator installation starts with the push of a button:

1. Our experts will help you choose and size the right home standby generator.
2. One of our vetted installers will contact you to schedule a consultation.
3. You and the installer will tailor the installation to meet your specific needs.

NOTICE: Due to high demand, production delays, and component shortages, many home standby generators are on backorder across the industry. If you order installation, we can still begin the permitting and inspection process while we wait for your generator to arrive.

The Inspection

The purpose of the inspection is to make sure everything is correct for the installation.

The installer will:

1. Determine the location of your standby generator and automatic transfer switch.
2. Check that you ordered the right equipment.
3. Confirm the proper fuel and electric supply.

If everything checks out, your installer will apply for a permit from your local municipality. The wait time and permit cost will depend on location and seasonality. Your technician will maintain regular communication with you and schedule installation once the permit is granted.

Should your installer identify any issues not covered by the installation, they will let you know, like the need for extra electric wire or gas line, a propane tank, a raised platform, custom labor, etc.

 

Installation Day

When the big day finally arrives, your Generac installer will bring all the materials to your home.
