"I cannot rave enough about Professional Systems Design. Initially, they came to my house by chance, but Iâ ve had them come back several times by choice. My husband and I had just bought a house that was in need of many electrical repairs. Our home warranty company sent out Jeremy and his company, Professional Systems Design. I had a list of things I wanted done and Jeremy and his team were able to do everything, working with the warranty company to get as many of the projects covered as possible. What the warranty company didnâ t cover, the charge to us was very reasonable. Since that initial visit, Iâ ve hired Professional Systems Design several times to complete more projects because they are honest, proficient, personable, and professional. Jeremy, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his area of expertise. The team installed new ceiling fans, fixed and added extra outlets, replaced old lighting with recessed lights, installed a camera doorbell system as well as a new bathroom exhaust fan, just to name a few things they did for us. Whenever I had a question or wanted an opinion about how to best accomplish what I wanted to in a room, Jeremy had the answer. Basically, Jeremy knows his stuff! There wasnâ t anything I presented to him that he or his crew couldnâ t do. I have 100% confidence in Professional Systems Designâ s ability and integrity, and I HIGHLY recommend them!"

"Ashley made the process painless and easy. He communicated with me throughout the entire repair and even took the time to answer my questions as well. I’ve since added them for my annual maintenance to keep my generator working every time we need it."

The inspector was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and professional throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain every detail and provided valuable insights into the electrical system of my home. The scheduling was smooth and convenient. They also arrived on a timely manner.

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.

Setting up utilities on a vacant property usually takes at least a few months, or between 6 weeks to 16 weeks. This process requires working with the local planning and zoning department, hiring a building contractor or engineer to design the utility layout, securing permits, laying the lines, and connecting the utilities.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.
