Backup Generator FAQs
Questions, answered
How does a whole-home backup generator work?
A backup generator connects to your electrical panel and your gas line. When the power goes out, an automatic transfer switch starts it within seconds.
How long can a backup generator run?
A generator on a natural gas line can run for days, as long as the gas keeps flowing. A propane unit runs until the tank is low.
What size generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to power. A whole-home unit runs your entire house, while a smaller one covers the essentials. We size it with a load calculation.
How much does a backup generator cost?
A whole-home generator installed typically runs about $5,000 to $15,000 in this area. The size and fuel line affect the price. We give a free estimate first.
Is there a tax credit for a backup generator?
No. A standard backup generator does not qualify for a federal tax credit. Be wary of any ad or company that claims one.
Do you handle the gas connection too?
Yes. AnyWeather is an HVAC and electrical company, so we handle both the wiring and the gas hookup. That means one company for the whole job.
