Everything on. That's the brief.
A whole-home installation means exactly what it says: when the power fails, your entire electrical panel switches to generator power. Central air, electric range, dryer, well pump, lights, outlets — all of it, as if the outage never happened. No choosing which rooms matter. No lifestyle downgrade for the duration.
What's included
One price covers the full system: the generator (sized by real load calculation, typically 20 kW and up for whole-home), a service-rated automatic transfer switch that handles your entire panel, the concrete pad and anchoring, all wiring and conduit, the fuel hookup — natural gas tie-in or propane tank and lines — plus permits, county inspection, and startup testing. You don't coordinate five trades. We do.
The sizing conversation
Whole-home doesn't mean "the biggest generator we sell." It means a generator matched to your home's actual load with sensible headroom — enough that the AC starting on a hot August night doesn't strain it, but not so much that you're burning extra fuel for a decade. Our sizing consultation does the math before we quote. Read the sizing guide for the full picture.
Installation day
Most whole-home installs finish in one day: pad set, unit placed and anchored, transfer switch wired between meter and panel, fuel connected, system tested with a simulated outage you watch happen. We schedule the county inspection and walk you through the controller before we leave. See the full installation walkthrough.
