How long does a generator installation take in Taylor County?
Most residential generator installations take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the complexity of your electrical system and whether gas line extensions are needed. We handle all permits beforehand, so there are no delays once we start. Commercial installations may take longer depending on the size and load requirements of your business. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your free estimate based on your specific situation and power needs.
What size generator do I need for my home?
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A typical Taylor County home needs 15-20kW for essential circuits like HVAC, refrigerator, lights, and well pump. Whole house coverage usually requires 20-24kW or larger. We perform a detailed load calculation during your free assessment, considering your home’s square footage, appliances, and electrical panel capacity. It’s better to size slightly larger than too small, since installation labor costs are the same regardless of generator size.
Do you handle permits for generator installation?
Yes, we handle all permitting and code compliance for your generator installation. Taylor County requires electrical permits for standby generators, and we submit all necessary documentation to ensure your installation meets local building codes. We coordinate inspections and work directly with the building department throughout the process. This protects your warranty and ensures everything is done legally and safely. Permit costs are included in our upfront pricing so there are no surprises.
What's the difference between standby and portable generators?
Standby generators are permanently installed outside your home and automatically start when power goes out. They connect to your natural gas line or propane tank and can run indefinitely. Portable generators require manual setup, gas refueling, and can only power a few appliances through extension cords. For Taylor County’s unpredictable weather and frequent outages, standby generators provide much better protection and convenience. They’re especially important if you’re away from home when outages occur.
How much does generator installation cost in Taylor County?
Generator installation costs typically range from $13,000-$20,000 including the unit, installation, permits, and startup. Factors affecting price include generator size, distance from your gas meter and electrical panel, site preparation needs, and any required electrical upgrades. We provide upfront flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees during your free estimate. Many homeowners find the investment pays for itself by preventing food spoilage, equipment damage, and business losses during outages.
Do you service generators after installation?
Absolutely. We provide ongoing maintenance and repair services for all generators we install in Taylor County. Regular maintenance every 6 months keeps your generator ready when you need it most. We check oil, filters, battery, and run load tests to ensure everything operates properly. Our maintenance prevents the 40% failure rate that occurs with neglected generators. We also offer 24/7 emergency repair service because generator problems don’t wait for business hours.
