Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need?
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 7.5-10kW generator handles essential circuits — refrigerator, sump pump, some lights, and a few outlets. A 16-20kW generator can power your essentials plus your HVAC system and more circuits. A 22kW+ whole-home generator runs everything in your home as if the power never went out. During our free assessment, we calculate your actual electrical load to recommend the right size.
How much does a standby generator cost installed?
A complete standby generator installation in Montgomery County typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000+ depending on the generator size, fuel type, complexity of the installation, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. A 10kW essential-circuit system starts around $5,000-$7,000 installed. A 22kW whole-home system typically runs $10,000-$15,000 installed. We provide a firm quote after our free in-home assessment. Financing options are available.
Do generators require maintenance?
Yes. Standby generators should be professionally serviced annually to maintain reliability and warranty coverage. Annual maintenance includes oil and filter changes, spark plug inspection, battery check, coolant check (liquid-cooled models), air filter replacement, and a load bank test to verify full-load operation. Volt Electrical offers annual maintenance agreements that keep your generator ready for the next outage.
Can a generator be installed at any home?
Most homes can accommodate a standby generator, but location requirements vary. The generator must be placed outdoors on a level surface at least 5 feet from windows, doors, and soffit vents (per NEC and manufacturer requirements). Your home must have access to natural gas or propane fuel. Some homeowner associations have additional placement or screening requirements. During our site assessment, we identify the best location that meets all code and aesthetic requirements.
