Generator faq's

Ballpark, how much does a whole house generator cost?

Most of our installations in North Florida range from $13,000 - $22,000 for installation of both the electrical and fuel systems.

​

We understand that's a large range, so contact us today and schedule an in-person visit to receive a detailed quote.

Do you offer financing?

If the installation costs are too much to consider all at once, we do offer financing through Synchrony Financial. Contact us for details.

What size generator do I need?

As a Generac sales dealer you’ll see us using their PowerPlay app to analyze the electrical loads in your house and determine a generator size. We’ll attach that report to your quote.

With that said, most of our generator installations will be either 14KW or 22KW in size. 

Do I need to pour a concrete slab?

No. Our quote will include a 4” GenPad, which is a pre-formed concrete pad shaped to match the contours of your Generac generator. It’s rated for hurricane strength winds, and inspectors are used to seeing them.

If you prefer to pour your own concrete slab let us know so that we can be sure it meets our installation requirements.

How long will my generator run during a long term power outage, like a hurricane?

In the quote we’ll give you the generator’s runtime at full load and at half load, based on your fuel tank size if using propane (if using municipal natural gas we’ll give you a fuel consumption rate).

For reference, these are the run times for the two most common generator sizes we use. These times are based on a 320 gallon LP fuel system, which is the most common size fuel system our gas partner uses:

​

14KW Generator:

Full Load: 83 hours

Half Load: 141 hours

​

22KW Generator

Full Load: 66 hours

Half Load: 127 hours
