What Impacts Your Estimate?
Generator Size and Capacity
Whole-home generators are sized by wattage. The appliances and systems you want to power during an outage influence the size of the unit and the overall cost.
Fuel Type
Your home’s setup plays a role in pricing. Natural gas and propane each have different requirements, and the availability of a gas line can affect installation needs.
Electrical and Installation Conditions
Every home is a little different. Panel upgrades, transfer switches, wiring routes, and the location of the generator all impact labor time and installation complexity.
Code and Permits
Local codes may require specific clearances, grounding, gas line considerations, and proper venting. Permits help ensure your generator is installed safely and correctly.
Optional Add-Ons
Items such as cold-weather kits, remote monitoring, or maintenance plans can add comfort, convenience, and peace of mind during Minnesota outages.

Generator Installation FAQs
How Do I Know If I Need a Home Generator?
If you experience frequent power outages, want to keep essential systems like heating, cooling, refrigeration, and medical equipment running, or simply want peace of mind during storms, a home generator is a smart investment. Homes in areas with aging infrastructure or severe weather often benefit most. A professional assessment can help determine the right generator size and type for your needs.
How Long Does a Generator Installation Take?
Most whole-home generator installations take one to two days, depending on the unit size, electrical configuration, and whether your home needs a new concrete pad or gas line adjustments. Before installation day, a technician will complete a site visit, secure necessary permits, and prepare everything so the installation process is smooth and efficient.
Do Home Generators Require Regular Maintenance?
Yes. Like any mechanical system, generators need routine maintenance to stay reliable. This typically includes oil changes, filter replacements, battery inspections, and test runs to ensure the system starts properly during an outage. Most homeowners schedule maintenance once or twice a year to keep their generator operating safely and to protect their warranty.
