How long does generator installation take in Avoca?

Most residential generator installations take one to two days to complete. The timeline depends on your specific setup – things like distance from your electrical panel to the installation location, type of fuel connection needed, and whether any additional electrical work is required. We handle permit applications before starting work, so there’s no waiting around once we begin. Weather can affect outdoor work, but we’ll keep you updated if any delays come up.
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 20kW unit typically handles essential circuits like refrigerator, lights, some outlets, and HVAC system. If you want whole house coverage including electric water heater, range, and all outlets, you’ll likely need 24kW or larger. We calculate your actual load requirements during our site evaluation, looking at your electrical panel and discussing your priorities. This ensures you get adequate power without paying for more capacity than you need.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and inspections required for your generator installation in Avoca. Generator installations require electrical permits and often gas permits depending on your fuel source. We know what Jones County and local authorities require, so your installation meets all codes from the start. The permit costs are included in your installation quote – no surprise fees later. We coordinate with inspectors and handle any questions that come up during the approval process.
Absolutely. We install generators that run on propane, natural gas, or dual fuel systems. Propane is actually common in rural areas around Avoca where natural gas lines aren’t available. We can connect to your existing propane tank or help you determine if you need a larger tank for generator use. Propane generators start reliably in cold weather and propane doesn’t go bad like gasoline, making it a solid choice for backup power. We handle all gas line connections and pressure testing as part of the installation.
Standby generators need regular maintenance like any engine – oil changes, air filter replacement, and periodic testing. Most manufacturers recommend professional service every 6-12 months depending on usage. We offer maintenance service for generators we install, handling oil changes, filter replacement, and system testing. Your generator also runs a self-test weekly for a few minutes to ensure it’s ready when needed. Basic maintenance keeps your generator reliable and protects your warranty coverage.
Generator installation costs vary based on generator size, installation complexity, and your specific site requirements. A typical residential installation ranges from $8,000 to $15,000 including equipment, installation, permits, and startup. Factors that affect cost include distance from electrical panel, type of fuel connection, concrete work needed, and any additional electrical upgrades required. We provide detailed quotes after evaluating your specific situation, so you know exactly what’s included before we start work.
