Standby Generator Cost Calculator

Estimate your whole-home backup generator installation cost for your area.

Your Information
Generator Size

All-electric homes require a larger unit to handle higher peak demand — size up one tier vs. gas appliances.

Electrical Panel

Standard Outdoor ATS mounts beside your panel. Load Center options replace or extend your existing panel — typically needed for larger homes or specific panel configurations. Each option reflects a different cost range.

Pipe & Conduit Runs

Enter the distance from the generator pad to each connection point: fuel pipe = distance to your gas meter or main gas line; electrical conduit = distance to your main electrical panel.

Trenching is included automatically when either run exceeds 20 ft.

Site Conditions
What's not included in this estimate: load management / load shed devices, site work (grading, concrete pads beyond standard), underground electrical or gas beyond the run lengths entered, propane tank installation, electrical panel upgrades, or any special inspections. These items will be scoped during your site survey.
