Standby Generators

Standby generators offer amazing peace of mind no matter what type of system you have, or with no system at all. This is a great first step on your journey to energy peace of mind. Whether you have a solar system or are connected to the grid with no other power production, getting a standby generator brings peace of mind and a safety in those long power outages. We live in a pretty rough climate and its just a matter of time before you loose power. We can provide a system that will run your entire house without a second thought, or we can be more conservative and run only the most critical loads. We would love talk through these options with you and help you make a solid informed decision. Please call us to learn more about your options.

Generator FAQs

Absolutely! There is no chicken – egg dilemma here you can go Solar first or Generator first. Either one is a great add on to the other.

There are a few considerations when sizing a generator:

  • How much power the loads in your home use
  • How many of your appliances you want to use during a power outage
  • The cost of the generator

We can work with you to do a load analysis and determine what is really important during an outage.

We have a relationship with a licensed gas technician that can hook up your generator for you. Origin Energy LLC does not do this work ourselves or charge you for this service. We simply facilitate things by sharing contact information and work with them to schedule your gas hookup. Payment and charges would be agreed upon between you and the Gas technician. If you already have a relationship with a gas tech or company you are welcome to use them.

No. We will install a smart automatic transfer switch that will sense as soon as the utility power goes out and then start the generator for you.

While there are many factors that determine the cost of a generator and installation, we can give you starting prices for three of the most common generators:

  • 14KW = $9,000 + Tax
  • 18KW = $10,400 + Tax
  • 22KW = $11,500 + Tax

This price includes the ground prep, generator pad, conduit run to the house up to 30’, all wiring connections, and automatic transfer switch. This does not include tax or the gas connections. These prices are for a standard installation and are not a quote. In order to provide a quote we will need to do a site visit and determine the exact scope of the install.
