Frequently Asked Questions
A professionally installed standby generator typically runs between $10,000-15,000 in North Georgia,
depending on the generator’s size (measured in kilowatts), your home’s electrical load, and the gas or propane
hookup. Portable generator hookups cost less. We size it right the first time so you’re not paying for power you
don’t need or left in the dark when you do.
It depends on what you want running when the grid goes down. A smaller unit can cover the essentials
fridge, lights, internet, and a few outlets, while a whole-home standby unit keeps your AC, well pump, and
everything else humming. We do a free load calculation on your home so you get exactly the right size, no
guesswork.
Yes, that’s the magic of a standby generator. When the power drops, it kicks on automatically within seconds
through an automatic transfer switch, with no cords to drag out or pull-starts to wrestle. You could sleep through
the whole outage and never know it happened. Storm season in Georgia just got a lot less stressful.
Most whole-home standby generator installs take 1-2 days overall, once the unit and permits are ready. That
includes setting the pad, wiring the transfer switch, and connecting fuel. We coordinate the permit and
inspection so the whole thing is handled start to finish.
For a lot of North Georgia homeowners, absolutely. Between summer storms, ice storms, and aging grid
infrastructure, outages here aren’t rare and a generator protects your food, your well water, your HVAC, and
your peace of mind. If you work from home or have medical equipment that needs power, it’s less of a luxury
and more of a necessity.
