How long does generator installation take in Blackwell?

Most residential generator installations take 1-2 days once permits are approved and materials arrive. The timeline depends on your specific setup – things like gas line distance, electrical panel modifications, and concrete curing time for the pad. Commercial installations typically take 2-4 days depending on size and complexity. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. Weather can affect concrete work, so we build some flexibility into our scheduling during storm season.
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A typical 3-bedroom home needs 16-20kW for essential circuits like lights, refrigerator, furnace, and some outlets. If you want whole-house coverage including AC, electric water heater, and all outlets, you’re looking at 24-30kW or larger. We calculate your actual electrical load rather than guessing. This way you avoid buying too small a unit that can’t handle your needs or oversizing and wasting money on capacity you’ll never use.
Yes, generator installation requires electrical permits in most areas, and gas line work needs separate permits. We handle all permit applications as part of our service because improper installation can create safety hazards and void your warranty. The permit process ensures your installation meets local codes and safety standards. It also protects your insurance coverage – many policies won’t cover damage from unpermitted electrical work. We know local requirements and inspector expectations, so your installation passes inspection the first time.
We install both natural gas and propane generators depending on what’s available at your property. Natural gas is convenient because you never run out of fuel, but not all areas have gas service. Propane gives you fuel independence but requires tank refills or larger storage tanks for extended outages. We’ll assess your property and discuss the pros and cons of each option. If you need gas line installation or propane tank setup, we coordinate with qualified professionals to ensure everything is done safely and meets code requirements.
Standby generators need annual maintenance including oil changes, filter replacement, and system testing. Most manufacturers recommend professional service every year or after 200 hours of operation. We check battery condition, clean connections, test the transfer switch, and verify the generator starts and runs properly under load. Regular maintenance helps prevent failures during outages and keeps your warranty valid. We offer maintenance service for generators we install and can service other brands too. Proper maintenance typically extends generator life to 15-20 years or more.
Generator installation costs vary based on unit size, installation complexity, and site conditions. A typical residential installation ranges from $8,000-$15,000 including the generator, transfer switch, installation labor, and permits. Factors that affect cost include distance from electrical panel to generator location, gas line requirements, concrete pad size, and any electrical panel upgrades needed. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No surprise charges or hidden fees after we start the work.
