How much does a Generac install cost?
Most whole-home Generac standby systems (14–24 kW) come in around $8,500–$14,500 installed. Smaller setups can start $6,500–$9,500, while larger 26–38 kW or complex installs can reach $15,000–$22,000+. Final price depends on generator size, transfer switch type, distance to gas/propane, trenching, panel upgrades, permits, and site prep. We handle design, permits, install, and startup—and offer financing plus options like cold-weather kits and extended warranties.
Do you handle permits?
Plan & design: Site visit, load calc, gas sizing, and one-line diagram.
Permit package: Site plan, equipment specs, pad details—submitted under our license as contractor of record.
Approvals: We obtain electrical + gas/mechanical permits (and building/zoning if the pad or placement requires it) and help with HOA paperwork when applicable.
Utility & locates: We coordinate gas meter upsizing/new propane tank and call 811 for underground utility locates before trenching.
Inspections: We schedule rough (trench/gas/electrical) and final inspections and address any comments.
Close-out: You receive copies of approved permits/inspections; we register your warranty and activate monitoring.
If your municipality needs the homeowner’s signature, we prep everything for quick e-sign.
How long does installation take?
Most Generac installs are finished in 1 day on site. If we need long trenching or a panel/service upgrade, plan on 1–2 days. From contract to turn-on is typically 2–4 weeks total, depending on permits, inspections, and utility scheduling.
Expanded (step-by-step)
On-site work: Standard pad, wiring, gas tie-in, and startup take 6–10 hours. With long trench runs, concrete work, or a service upgrade: 2 days (rare, complex jobs: 2–3 days).
Permits & scheduling: Usually 3–10 business days for approvals; HOA (if needed) can add time.
Utility coordination: Gas meter upsizing or propane tank set is scheduled with the utility/propane provider and can add a few days up to ~2 weeks.
Commissioning: We test/activate same day when gas/electric are ready; otherwise within 1–3 business days after inspections/utility release.
Downtime: Power is only off ~1–2 hours during the transfer switch cut-over. You don’t need to be home all day—just available for panel/meter access.

How We Work & What to Expect — The Michigan Generac Way
Choosing a standby generator is a big decision. As the best local Generac dealer and installer in Michigan, we’ve built a process that’s simple, transparent, and engineered for long-term reliability. From the first call to your annual tune-up, everything is handled by our Michigan-based, factory-trained team: design, permits, gas/electrical work, installation, commissioning, monitoring, and maintenance. Below is a clear view of how we operate so you’ll know exactly what happens and when.
Our Turnkey Process, Step by Step
- Discovery & Goals: We learn your priorities—whole-home vs essentials, budget, fuel type (natural gas/propane), and any must-cover circuits (sump, furnace, well, medical devices).
- Virtual Pre-Check: To speed things up, we’ll often request a few photos (electric panel, meter, gas line, placement area). This lets us spot any obvious upgrades or clearance constraints upfront.
- On-Site Assessment: A licensed technician confirms clearances, evaluates gas sizing and pressure, checks grounding/bonding, and verifies code-compliant placement. We also discuss sound, snow load, and aesthetics.
- Load Calculation & Right-Sizing: We run a professional load calc and recommend the correct kW and transfer switch (whole-home or managed loads), avoiding both under-sizing and wasteful over-sizing.
- Transparent Proposal: You’ll get a clear scope including generator model, switch type, pad, trenching, gas/electric runs, surge protection, monitoring, permits, inspections, and a clean, itemized price.
- Permits & HOA (We Handle It): Our office pulls the required electrical and gas/mechanical permits, and assists with HOA/zoning paperwork if needed. You won’t have to visit city hall.
- Pre-Install Checklist: We confirm utility locates (811), any meter upsizing, propane tank delivery (if applicable), and schedule a precise install date that works for you.
- Installation Day: We set the pad, position the generator, complete gas and electrical connections, label circuits, and keep your property tidy. Power is typically interrupted for only ~1–2 hours during transfer switch cut-over.
- Commissioning & Training: We run diagnostics, verify gas pressure and voltage, perform load tests, configure Wi-Fi/monitoring, and walk you through basic operation, maintenance intervals, and warranty coverage.
- After-Care & Maintenance: You’ll have access to proactive monitoring, annual service packages (oil, filters, firmware), priority support, and fast parts through our authorized channel.
