Why It Matters

Chicago Storms
Don't Wait.

How much does whole-home generator installation cost?
Whole-home generator installation typically ranges from $6,000 to $15,000+ depending on generator size, your panel, gas line proximity, and permit requirements. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after your site assessment — no hidden fees, ever. Most North Shore homeowners find the investment pays for itself after just one major outage.
How long does the installation process take?
A licensed and insured electrician partner will review your project scope and outline expected timing before work begins.
What size generator do I need?
Generator sizing depends on your home's square footage, the appliances you want to power, and whether you want partial or whole-home coverage. For most 2,000–3,500 sq ft North Shore homes, a 16–22kW unit provides complete whole-home protection. Our assessment calculates the exact load requirements and recommends the right unit for your needs and budget.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes — we handle the entire permitting process for you. Generator installations require both electrical and gas permits in Illinois, and your electrician partner can review local requirements and explain what is needed before work begins.
What fuel source does a standby generator use?
Most North Shore homes use natural gas — ideal because you never need to store or refill fuel. The generator connects directly to your home's existing gas line. For homes without natural gas, we also install propane-fueled systems with a dedicated tank. Either option provides essentially unlimited runtime during an extended outage.
How often does a standby generator need maintenance?
Standby generators should receive annual maintenance — similar to a car's yearly service. This includes an oil change, spark plug inspection, filter replacement, and a full operational test. Most generators also run an automatic self-test weekly. We offer annual maintenance plans to keep your system in perfect condition year after year.
