⚡ Portable Generator Installation

Service Description

🔧 Supported Installations ✔ 120V or 240V portable generators ✔ Main panel integration with interlock kit ✔ Single-phase residential setups ___________ 💡 What’s Included ✔ Load evaluation & breaker capacity check ✔ Proper breaker sizing based on generator amperage ✔ Conduit routing (surface, attic, buried, or in-wall)* ✔ Interlock installation with generator breaker placed near the main breaker ✔ Professional wiring, secure mounting, and code-compliant configuration ✔ Full testing and operational verification *Routing method may affect cost. _________________ ❌ Not Included 🚫 Generator (unless customer-provided) 🚫 Permits (quoted if needed) 🚫 Major drywall repair after concealed routing (available as add-on) _________________ 🧰 Pricing Cost depends on panel capacity, breaker availability, generator amperage, cable gauge, and interlock adjustments. 🛠 Labor: $85/hr — 2 hr minimum 📦 Materials billed at actual cost _________________ ⚡ Estimated Installation Ranges (Labor + Materials) 🔹 Small Portable Generators (<1–5 kW · “Small loads”) For essential circuits like lighting, fridge, and basic appliances. Usually 120V or 120/240V, up to ~25A. Typically minimal panel adjustment required. 💲Typical Cost: $500–$2,000 🔹 Medium Generators (5–7 kW · “Partial home”) Supports pumps, fridge, microwave, and selected circuits. Typically 120/240V at ~30A and may require larger breaker and #8 SOOW cable. 💲Typical Cost: $500–$2,000 🔹 High-Capacity Generators (7–9 kW · “Expanded partial home”) Suitable for higher-demand loads like well pumps and window AC units. Output ~35–45A, requiring #6 SOOW cable and interlock compliance. 💲Typical Cost: $2,000–$3,500 🔹 Full-Home-Ready Generators (9–12 kW · “Most of the home”) Runs most household loads depending on size. Often requires heavier wiring and precise panel layout adjustments. 💲Typical Cost: $2,000–$3,500+ 🔹 Large Systems (12 kW+ · “Whole home”) Capable of powering nearly the entire home, including central HVAC. May require panel restructuring and load management strategy. 💲Typical Cost: $5,000–$8,500+ _________________ 📌 Optional Add-Ons • Panel expansion or breaker upgrades • GFCI or high-amperage breakers • Wall repair after concealed routing • Smart transfer switch integration _________________ 🧭 Not sure what setup applies?
