Standby Generator Installation
Standby Generator Installation
When Chicago storms take out the grid, a whole-home standby generator keeps your furnace, fridge, sump pump, and essential circuits running automatically. We size, install, and maintain standby generators — handling the concrete pad, gas line coordination, transfer switch, and inspection.
Our Approach
We size based on your home's actual load profile (not a sales upsell), coordinate gas line work with your plumber, pour the pad, wire the automatic transfer switch to an essential-loads sub-panel, and commission the unit with a full load test. Annual maintenance contracts available.
“Power Through Every Chicago Storm.”
Common Problems We Solve
- Frequent power outages threatening refrigerators, sump pumps, or furnaces

Frequently Asked Questions
What size generator do I need?
Depends on your load profile. Most Chicago homes are well-served by a 14–22 kW unit for essential circuits; whole-home coverage may need 26–48 kW. We run a load calc before recommending.
What does a full install cost?
Turnkey standby generator installs typically run $8,500–$18,000 depending on generator size, pad/gas work, and transfer-switch complexity. Detailed quote after on-site assessment.
Do you service existing generators?
Yes — we service Generac, Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Cummins. Annual maintenance contracts keep your unit ready.
