"I chose Elevation Electric to install an outlet in our garage for our new Nissan Leaf because he was the ONLY installer recommended on both the Xcel Energy site and here. I heartily agree. Our new outlet is in a great spot and works perfectly. Joe worked quickly, had to drill through brick walls and cleaned up the mess. He was forced to cancel our initial appointment due to complications on the job before ours. So what did he do? He rescheduled for a Saturday because he hated to have inconvenienced us with the cancellation and he was already booked for the next week. Nice guy, good work!"

"Installed a 12 circuit generator cutover panel. Works great. Would have preferred the cables to be behind the drywall. But a solid job that passed Jeffco and Xcel inspections easily."

"Just In Time installed a new attic fan and temperature control. The experience was great from start to finish. The first visit was a diagnosis and then an appointment was scheduled to replace the old fan with a new fan. The install of the fan was an excellent experience. The crew was able to arrive early, they confirmed it was OK to show up early prior. The install went smooth, the crew was efficient, friendly and cleaned up in no time. I would recommend and use Just in Time in the future!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a home generator is $5,200, but total costs can range from $500 to $18,000 or more. The final price depends on several factors, including the generator's size, type, brand, fuel source, and the cost of labor and assembly. The generator's size is the most significant cost factor, as units that can power larger homes with higher energy demands cost more.

Cost breakdowns by generator type are typically as follows:

  • Portable or Emergency Backup Generators (1kW–7.5kW): $500–$2,000

  • Partial-Home Generators (9kW–20kW): $2,000–$6,500

  • Whole-House Generators (22kW–48kW): $5,000–$18,000

To ensure you get the right size unit for your needs without overpaying, consider hiring an electrician to calculate the electrical load of your essential appliances. It is also recommended to get at least three quotes from qualified installers to find the best fit for your budget.

To reduce AC startup power for a whole-house generator, install a soft start kit or hard start capacitor, which lowers the initial surge by gradually ramping up the compressor. Using a smart load manager can also help by staggering startup loads, preventing a system overload and future costly repairs.

A 1,500 square foot home will likely need a 15kW to 20kW generator. When deciding on whole-house generator size, add up the total wattage of the devices that you’d like to continue running during a power outage. That way, you can ensure you purchase a generator that can power your necessary appliances or medical equipment during an electrical emergency.

Yes, in most municipalities, you will need a permit to install a permanent home generator, including emergency backup, partial-home, and whole-home models. Because these installations involve significant alterations to your home's electrical system and produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require a permit or inspection for safety purposes. A generator permit typically costs between $50 and $250, depending on your location. Your electrician or certified installer can usually handle the permitting process for you, but you will be responsible for the cost. It's a good practice to confirm with your installer that they will pull all necessary permits before work begins.

In most cases, there are no tax credits available for home generators. However, that’s a general statement that applies to federal tax credits, so you might have access to state or local tax incentives. You can check the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) for more information about your area. If you hire a reliable home generator installer, they should also know if there are any state or local perks you can use to reduce your installation costs, including tax breaks and rebates.
