How much does a home generator installation cost?

The cost depends on the generator size, your existing electrical equipment, what you'd like to power, the transfer system, installation location, fuel requirements, and other site conditions. Many desert homes have electrical meter and main panel equipment combined in one outdoor enclosure. Depending on your existing equipment, connecting a standby generator and transfer switch may require additional electrical work or changes to the panel arrangement. Even two homes on the same street may have different requirements.
