Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Generac home standby generators, installation, and service.

How much does a Generac home standby generator cost?

The cost of a Generac home standby generator depends on the generator size, installation complexity, and your home’s electrical requirements. We provide detailed, transparent quotes tailored to your specific needs. Contact us for a personalized estimate.

The right size depends on what you want to power. A 10-14kW generator covers essential circuits, including lights, refrigerator, and furnace fans. An 18-22kW generator powers most whole homes, including central A/C. Larger homes with electric heat or multiple large appliances may need 24kW or larger. We’ll assess your electrical panel and power needs to recommend the right solution.

Most residential installations are completed in one to two days once the generator and materials arrive. The full process from consultation to operation typically takes two to four weeks, including permit approval and scheduling. We handle all permitting and inspections for you.

Generac generators run a weekly self-test automatically. Annual maintenance is similar to a car, including oil and filter changes, spark plug inspection, and battery checks. We offer maintenance plans to keep your generator ready when you need it most.
The transfer switch monitors your utility power 24/7. When it detects an outage, it signals the generator to start and transfers your home’s electrical load within 10-20 seconds. When utility power returns, it automatically transfers back and shuts down the generator. There’s no manual intervention required.
Both fuel types work identically. Natural gas connects to your existing gas line with an unlimited fuel supply. Propane requires a storage tank (typically 250-500 gallons) that needs periodic refilling. We’ll recommend the best option based on your property’s existing utilities and fuel availability.
Generac home standby generators come with a five-year limited warranty covering parts and labor at tiered intervals. Extended warranty options are available for purchase for additional peace of mind.
