Common Questions

Generator Installation FAQ

Depends on size and type. A small manual changeover (3–5 kVA) might be $2,500–$4,000 installed. Larger systems or automatic transfer switches can be $5,000–$15,000+. Get exact pricing after we assess your needs with our free walkthrough.
It depends on what you want to power. Powering essentials (lights, fridge, internet) might need 5–7 kVA. Whole-house backup can require 15–25+ kVA. Use our Backup Power Calculator above to estimate, or we'll size it properly after an on-site assessment.
Manual: You flip a switch when power fails. Cheaper, reliable, but requires someone home to respond. Automatic: Detects power loss and switches instantly. More convenient and more expensive. We recommend automatic for essential circuits like medical equipment or business backup.
No. This is extremely dangerous. Without a proper transfer switch, your generator can feed power back into the grid, electrocuting utility workers. Every proper generator installation includes a safe transfer switch. We never skip this step.
Running costs depend on fuel type (petrol, diesel, LPG) and how long you run it. For example, a typical 7 kVA petrol generator costs roughly $5–$8 per hour to run. If you're using it a few hours during a blackout, expect $10–$30 in fuel. We discuss running costs during your consultation.
Yes. Generators need regular testing and maintenance — oil changes, filter replacements, annual load testing. We recommend testing your system every 6–12 months to ensure it works when you need it. We can handle that for you.
