Installed Residential Automatic Standby Generators

Hello Becky, every home is different, and so is every installation. The placement of the generator, materials required, adherence to local code/property restrictions, and installation of the natural gas or LP fuel source all make estimating installation costs unique. On average, total costs of a home standby generator installation range from $8,000-$16,000, including the generator itself. Pricing can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the installation process and your location. The best way to know for sure is to get a free in-home consultation. One of our Authorized Generac Dealers will listen to your back up power needs, assess your home, and provide you with a free estimate. All at no charge, with no obligation, and no pressure: https://www.generac.com/home-standby-generators/request-quote/

Hi, Edith. The size of your generator will depend on what items you'd like to power in the event of an outage. Our Home Standby Sizing Calculator can assist you in determining the right size generator for your home. The calculator considers all your power requirements and provides you with 3 potential generators that fit your needs. Additionally, you'll receive estimated installation costs and financing options as well. You can access the calculator at https://bit.ly/3tiG96Y If you have additional questions, please feel free to give us a call at 888-436-3722.

For example, Generac model #7290, oil capacity including filter is approximately 1.9 qt. Since each application is unique, we are unable to properly size a unit remotely. We do have a sizing calculator online that can help you get an idea on what generator may be needed, but we strongly recommend working with a dealer to ensure the proper generator is picked. Our sizing calculator can be found here: https://www.generac.com/for-homeowners/home-backup-power/build-your-generator, and all of our local dealers can be found at www.generac.com/dealer-locator.

Yes we also have generators that can run on diesel, propane or natural gas. We recommend working with an authorized Generac dealer as they will be better able to assist you. If you need assistance finding a local dealer, we recommend using our dealer locator found here: http://www.generac.com/dealer-locator

Do you have to have gas?

Yes there is. The smallest propane tank we recommend for use with our automatic standby generators is a 250-gallon tank. We recommend working with your local propane supplier to determine the exact size tank that would be necessary for your application based off the volume and pressure requirements of the unit.
