At Hoffman Electrical & A/C, we have heard many questions about our electrical services, including generator installation. Here are some common questions and their answers about installing whole-house generators.
The cost for whole-house generator installation varies significantly from one project to the next. The national average is around $3,700, but homeowners can pay between $400 and over $9,000 for generator installation. The generator chosen and the size of your home will affect this cost.
Home standby generators are a great source of backup power during storms or prolonged electrical outages. You should never operate a generator inside your home or in a garage. Contact us online or give us a call for a generator installation estimate in the Tampa or St. Pete areas!
To install a whole-house generator, an electrician will first find an appropriate installation location. Then, the generator will be put in place and connected to a fuel supply. After that, the electrician will install the transfer switch. Finally, the generator will be connected to the electrical connections in your home. Before finishing the project, the electrician will test the generator to make sure it's running properly.
Installing a whole-house generator requires a clear understanding of electrical systems and electrical safety. Though some people may feel comfortable doing this job on their own, it is best to have it done by a licensed electrician who understands how these systems work. This ensures the generator will be ready to deliver electricity when you need it.
Each generator has its own manufacturer’s requirements for best placement. Generator placement also needs to follow state and city building safety codes and requirements. Typically, the generator is installed outdoors. It needs to sit at least 20 feet from your house. The engine exhaust should flow away from all windows and doors. Your electrician will help you find a location that is in line with your local building codes and follows all necessary safety precautions.
