Common Questions About Generac Generators

Generac whole-home generators typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 installed, depending on your home’s size, power requirements, site conditions, and the specific Generac model you choose. Factors that affect cost include:

  • Generator size (kilowatts needed)
  • Fuel type (natural gas vs. propane)
  • Transfer switch type (automatic transfer switch selection)
  • Site preparation requirements (concrete pad, gas line distance)
  • Electrical panel compatibility

We provide free estimates with exact pricing for your specific situation. Every home is different, and we’ll assess your needs to give you an accurate quote with no hidden fees.

Most Generac standby generator installations are completed in 1-3 days, though the total timeline from estimate to completed installation is typically 2-4 weeks. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Day 1: Free estimate and assessment (1-2 hours)
  • Week 1-2: Permitting (we handle all paperwork)
  • Week 2-3: Site preparation and concrete pad curing (if needed)
  • Week 3-4: Generator installation (1-3 days depending on complexity)

The actual installation work is usually completed in 1-3 days depending on site conditions, whether gas lines need to be run, and electrical panel modifications required. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your free estimate.

The right generator size depends on your home’s square footage and which circuits you want to power during an outage. Here’s a general guideline:

  • 14-16kW: Small homes (1,500-2,500 sq ft) or essential circuits only
  • 18-20kW: Medium homes (2,500-3,500 sq ft) powering most circuits
  • 22-24kW: Larger homes (3,500+ sq ft) or complete whole-home coverage
  • 26kW+: Very large homes or homes with high power demands

During your free consultation, we’ll calculate your exact power needs by reviewing:

  • Your electrical panel size and circuits
  • Major appliances (HVAC, water heater, well pump, etc.)
  • Which circuits you want backed up
  • Any special power requirements (medical equipment, home office, etc.)

We’ll recommend the right Generac model to meet your needs without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.

Generac recommends annual professional maintenance to ensure reliable operation when you need it most. Just like your car, your standby generator needs regular service to stay in peak condition.

What’s included in annual maintenance:

  • Oil and filter change (using Generac-approved synthetic oil)
  • Battery testing and voltage check
  • Complete system diagnostics
  • Exercise test to verify operation
  • Firmware updates
  • Visual inspection of all components
  • Written service report with recommendations

Between professional services, your Generac generator will exercise itself automatically (typically once per week) to keep the engine and components in good condition. You don’t need to do anything – it’s completely automatic.

We offer annual maintenance plans for worry-free ownership. Call (540) 931-0079 to learn more.

Yes, absolutely. Generac standby generators are designed for completely automatic operation. Here’s how it works:

  1. Power loss detected: Your Generac generator constantly monitors utility power. When an outage occurs, it detects the loss within seconds.

  2. Automatic startup: The generator starts automatically within 10-20 seconds of power loss. You don’t touch anything.

  3. Transfer switch activates: Your automatic transfer switch disconnects from utility power and connects to generator power.

  4. Power restored: Your home is powered by the generator. Lights come on, appliances run, HVAC operates – everything works normally.

  5. Utility power returns: When utility power is restored, the generator senses it, the transfer switch reconnects to utility power, and the generator automatically shuts down.

You literally don’t have to do anything. Most people don’t even realize the power went out – they just notice the generator running outside.

Yes, if you choose the right size generator. Generac standby generators can power your entire home, or you can choose to power only critical circuits to save on equipment cost.

Whole-home coverage includes:

  • HVAC (heating and air conditioning)
  • Refrigerators and freezers
  • All lights and outlets
  • Water heater
  • Well pump (if applicable)
  • Garage door opener
  • Security system
  • Home office equipment
  • Entertainment systems
  • All appliances

Essential circuits coverage might include:

  • HVAC
  • Refrigerator
  • Select lights and outlets
  • Well pump
  • Medical equipment

During your free consultation, we’ll discuss which approach makes sense for your home and budget. Whole-home coverage requires a larger generator (typically 22kW+), while essential circuits can often be covered by a smaller unit (14-18kW).

Yes. Dead Rock Services is an official Authorized Generac Dealer and Authorized Maintenance Provider, listed on Generac’s dealer locator at Generac.com.

What this means for you:

  • Our technicians are factory-trained and certified by Generac
  • We install to Generac’s specifications, protecting your warranty
  • We use genuine Generac parts
  • We have direct access to Generac technical support
  • Your installation is backed by both Generac’s warranty and our guarantee

You can verify our authorized dealer status on Generac’s website. When you choose an authorized dealer, you’re getting factory-certified expertise and protecting your warranty.

There are significant differences:

Portable Generators:

  • Require manual setup during an outage (you have to set it up in the rain/storm)
  • Must be refueled every 8-12 hours (gasoline)
  • Power only a few appliances through extension cords
  • Can’t power hardwired systems (HVAC, well pump, etc.)
  • Must be stored and maintained when not in use
  • Carbon monoxide risk if not properly ventilated
  • No automatic operation

Generac Standby Generators:

  • Permanently installed outside your home
  • Start automatically within seconds of power loss
  • Run on natural gas or propane (no refueling needed)
  • Power your entire home through your electrical panel
  • Power all hardwired systems (HVAC, well pump, security, etc.)
  • Professional installation by certified electrician
  • Safe, code-compliant installation
  • Completely automatic – you don’t do anything

For true whole-home backup power and complete peace of mind, a Generac standby generator is the right choice. Portable generators are fine for camping or occasional use, but they can’t protect your home like a permanently installed standby generator.

Yes, absolutely. As an Authorized Generac Maintenance Provider, we can service any Generac standby generator regardless of who installed it. We offer:

  • Annual maintenance service
  • Emergency repair service
  • Diagnostic and troubleshooting
  • Genuine Generac parts and components
  • Transfer switch service and repair
  • Software/firmware updates
  • Battery replacement
  • Any Generac generator service need

If your Generac generator was installed by another company and you need maintenance or repair, we’re here to help. Call (540) 931-0079 to schedule service.

Modern Generac generators are surprisingly quiet. Most residential Generac models operate at 65-70 decibels at normal load, which is about the volume of a normal conversation or a dishwasher running.

For comparison:

  • Normal conversation: 60 dB
  • Dishwasher: 65 dB
  • Generac generator: 65-70 dB
  • Lawn mower: 90 dB
  • Portable generator: 80-90+ dB

Generac’s quieter operation is due to:

  • Sound-insulated enclosure
  • Advanced muffler systems
  • Purpose-built generator engines
  • Strategic placement away from living areas

During installation, we’ll help you choose the best location for your generator that minimizes sound impact while meeting all code requirements.

If your Generac generator fails to start or stops running during a power outage, call us immediately at (540) 931-0079. As an authorized service provider, we prioritize emergency generator repairs during widespread outages.

We carry common Generac parts on our service vehicles and can often repair generators on-site. During major storm events, our technicians work extended hours to help customers get their generators running.

This is another reason annual maintenance is so important – it catches potential issues before they become problems during an actual outage.
