Investing in Reliable Backup Power with Zellner Electric
Purchasing a home generator is an important investment in safety, comfort, and convenience. However, the cost can vary greatly depending on several key factors. At Zellner Electric, a certified Generac Dealer and Installer, we believe in providing transparent pricing and reliable solutions tailored to your needs. Here’s what you need to know about the costs associated with generator installation and why scheduling an onsite visit is crucial for an accurate estimate.
Key Factors Influencing Generator Costs
- Type and Size of Generator
Generators come in various types, including portable, standby, and whole-house models. Standby generators, like those offered by Generac, are the preferred choice for homeowners looking for automatic backup power. The size of the generator, measured in kilowatts (kW), determines its power capacity. Smaller units (e.g., 10kW) can power essential circuits, while larger units (e.g., 22kW or more) can run an entire home. At Zellner Electric, we help you select the best home generator to suit your power needs and budget. - Installation Complexity
Proper installation involves more than just placing the generator. Homes with outdated electrical panels may require upgrades, and gas line extensions are often necessary for standby units. Additionally, an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is essential for seamless power transitions. Our team of licensed electricians ensures your system is safely installed and compliant with all codes and regulations. - Site Preparation and Location
Choosing the right location for your generator is critical for safety and efficiency. The unit must be placed on a stable, level surface near your electrical panel and gas line. Site preparation might involve excavation, concrete pads, or landscaping adjustments, all of which can influence the overall cost. Zellner Electric takes care of every detail to ensure your installation goes smoothly. - Professional Labor Costs
Installing a generator requires specialized knowledge to ensure safe and compliant connections. Our experienced team at Zellner Electric is dedicated to delivering efficient, high-quality installations, providing you with peace of mind knowing your backup power system is reliable.
