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

Installing a home standby generator with A Team Home Services is priced after a site-specific load assessment and written sizing recommendation. Total cost mainly depends on generator capacity, the fuel connection work, transfer equipment, site conditions, and required permits and inspections. As an authorized Generac dealer, we deliver turnkey installation and handle permitting to meet NEC and Austin-area code requirements. Financing options are available if you prefer to spread the investment.

Key factors that move the price up or down:

• Whole-home coverage versus essential circuits, which changes the kW size
• Natural gas versus liquid propane and the routing distance to the unit
• Transfer solution (automatic transfer switch versus a code-compliant interlock inlet)
• Trenching, generator pad, and distance to your main electrical equipment

A brief on-site survey confirms sizing, fuel routing, and permit scope so your quote is exact and code-compliant. <br/> Updated: 2026-03-13 <br/> Need help in Round Rock, TX? Call (737) 306-0078 or book online.
