How much does it cost to install a standby generator at home?

Harrison Electric, Inc. provides standby generator installation by on-site inspection and written estimate, and final pricing is confirmed only after we assess your home’s electrical system. Most cost variation comes from the power capacity you choose and how the automatic transfer switch integrates with your existing panel. We install complete systems (generator plus transfer switch) and can back up either the whole house or selected circuits, which changes project scope. Our licensed team regularly installs systems across the Twin Cities east metro near Lakeland based on local code and site conditions. Safety & Savings Plan members receive discounts, priority scheduling, and extended warranties.

Expect these factors to influence your quote:

• Generator size and whole‑house vs selected‑circuit coverage
• Transfer switch type and any panel or wiring upgrades
• Placement, weather‑ready mounting, and surge protection add‑ons
