What affects the cost?
- Distance from gas line/panel — long runs add trenching and conduit
- Permits and inspection — most municipalities require gas + electrical permits
How to save
- Off-peak install — late winter and early spring offer 10–15% discounts
- Bundle gas hookup with other work if your home isn't on natural gas yet
- Consider battery backup instead for shorter, more frequent outages
- Right-size — most homes don't need the maximum capacity their lot supports
Frequently asked questions
How big a generator do I need for my house?
Essentials (fridge, furnace, lights, outlets) need 7–10kW; adding central AC pushes you to 14–22kW; a large all-electric home may need 22–27kW+. An electrician runs a load calculation before recommending a size — oversizing wastes money, undersizing trips the unit.
