Where does this data come from?
Homeowners report what they paid after their install. Every report is email-verified and reviewed before it appears. Where we have fewer than 3 local reports, we show cost ranges from published sources and link each one.
Why do installed prices vary so much?
Size, fuel type, transfer switch, how far the gas line runs, permit fees and local labor rates all change the total. That's why we break costs into parts.
Do you sell generators or installs?
No. We don't sell anything and aren't affiliated with any brand or installer.
