What affects the price in Chicago

Every property is different, so we do not publish a single number that would be wrong for your home. Pricing for generator installation in Chicago depends on the age and condition of your wiring, panel capacity and available breaker space, access through walls, attics and crawlspaces, the materials and fixtures you choose, and whether a permit and inspection are involved. You get one flat, written price before we begin, and it does not change unless you change the scope.

Generator Installation in Chicago: FAQs

What size generator does my Chicago home need?
We run a load calculation on the circuits you actually want backed up. Many Chicago homes land between 18kW and 26kW for whole-house coverage, or a smaller unit with load management.
Do you install the transfer switch too?
Yes: automatic transfer switches, service-rated ATS and manual switches, plus the panel work needed to separate essential circuits in your Chicago home.
Can you wire an inlet for my portable generator?
Absolutely. A generator inlet box with an interlock kit is the safe, affordable way for Chicago homeowners to power the house from a portable unit, with no extension cords and no backfeed.
How long does generator installation take in Chicago?
Electrical work is typically 1 to 2 days once the unit and pad are on site, plus gas hookup and startup.
