Standby Generator Installation – Reliable Backup Power

From initial planning to final inspection, we take care of everything:

• Site visit and load assessment to determine the right generator size and transfer setup
   
• Coordination with your gas contractor for fuel connection (natural gas or propane)
   
• Installation of automatic transfer switch (ATS) to seamlessly switch power during outages
   
• Concrete pad or pre-cast base to properly support your generator (if needed)
   
• Full wiring and connection between generator, panel, and ATS
   
• Permits and ESA inspection handled start to finish
   
• Startup, testing, and walk-through so you understand how it all works
   
• Optional add-ons: remote monitoring, whole-home coverage, or partial-load setups

 Installations usually take 1 to 2 days, depending on pad preparation, panel access, and ESA scheduling. We'll coordinate with your gas provider to ensure a smooth process. 

• Starts at: $3,500 + HST (labour only, customer-supplied generator and simple wiring)
   
• Typical Range: $3,500 – $9,000 + HST
   
• Add-ons:
   
  • Concrete pad installation: +$400–$800
     
  • Sub-panel or load management: +$500–$1,200
     
  • Generator supplied by us: prices available on request
     

Final cost depends on generator size, distance to panel, fuel access, and pad requirements.

Do you supply the generator or do I buy my own?
We can do either – you're welcome to supply your own, or we can source and quote a unit for you.

Do I need a gas technician?
Yes – we work alongside your licensed gas fitter to handle the fuel connection safely and legally.

Will my whole house be powered?
It depends on the size of your generator. We offer both whole-home and essential-load setups.

Is your work inspected?
Yes – all installations are inspected by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), which we handle for you.
