What factors affect the cost of a generator installation?
- Generator output: The higher the output of a generator, the more equipment you can connect to it. This is an important consideration to make when determining what appliances and electronics need to be powered in an emergency. But you also have to weigh output against the cost of the generator itself, since more output equals more money spent. You can determine a generator’s output by its kilowatts (kW).
- Generator fuel type: Generators run on different types of fuel, including diesel, propane, or natural gas. Diesel and propane tend to cost more, as they typically require installing a storage tank on the property. This isn’t the case for natural gas units, hence their lower installation costs.
- Other home updates: Modifying a home’s electrical system may be necessary to accommodate the new generator. There are also cases where upgrades to a home’s gas meter are required, or a concrete slab needs to be poured for the generator to rest on. The good news is that Golden Rule can alert you to these costs early on with a free estimate, giving you more knowledge to make an informed decision about your generator.
