Home backup generators: What do I need to know?

We know a home backup generator is a big investment. Here's what you need to know to make an informed decision about your Generac home backup generator purchase.

  • How do I choose the right generator for me?

    Generac has an online sizing calculator that can help you determine the right home backup generator for your unique needs. The best way, though, is to work with one of our 5000 dealers. They'll help you select the right generator, and provide you with a free quote.

    How much will it cost to install my home standby generator?

    No two installation jobs are the same, and your local dealer will help you determine the installation plan best suited to your unique needs.On average, installation costs of a home standby generator range from $5,000-10,000 plus purchase of the generator itself. Pricing can vary based on several factors, including the complexity of the installation process and your location. Contact an Authorized Generac Dealer to get a custom quote.

  • What's involved in installing a home backup generator?

    Installing a home backup generator is an exciting time. Your installer will prepare the installation site outside your home, place the generator, run the natural gas or LP fuel line, install the transfer switch, and make all of the necessary electrical connections. And they will make sure that your backup generator runs properly, and is ready for its first power outage.
