The Reality
If you've lived through a Gulf-Coast storm season, you've already lived these.
These are the situations we help New Orleans customers solve every week.
- →You lost power for 11 days after the last hurricane and your fridge, freezer, and 6-year-old's life rolled with it
- →Your portable generator is a 25-year-old garage relic that you're not even sure starts anymore
- →Your spouse depends on a CPAP or other medical equipment and grid loss is no longer something you accept
- →Your insurance carrier is offering a discount for a permitted whole-home standby and you don't know which dealer to call
- →Three generator companies quoted $9,800 to $24,500 for the same Generac install and you can't tell what's different
Our Services
What we do.
Service · 01
Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation
Generac, Kohler, and Briggs whole-home standby generators, sized to your actual home load (we calculate, not estimate). Includes natural gas or LP fuel-line work, transfer-switch installation, and full electrical commissioning. Permitted with parish or county building department before energizing. Most installs 2–3 days from concrete pad to first auto-test.
Service · 02
Annual Service & Warranty Maintenance
Annual service (oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, valve adjustment, battery test, exercise cycle verification) keeps the manufacturer warranty valid and the unit ready for storm season. Standing service contract: $385/year for residential, includes priority dispatch if it ever fails to start during an outage.
Service · 03
Portable Generator Setup & Wiring
Inlet-box and manual-transfer-switch installation for homeowners using portable generators. Includes load calculation, code-compliant disconnect installation, and inspection. Lower budget than full standby ($1,800–$3,400 install vs $9,800+) — we'll tell you honestly which approach fits your needs.
Service · 04
Commercial Backup Power Systems
Commercial-scale standby installs for medical offices, restaurants, retail, and small data centers. Sized to actual operational load (not square footage rule of thumb), includes transfer switch, fuel-line work, and ATS commissioning with your electrical contractor. Standing maintenance contracts available.
The Difference
Why Gulf-Coast homeowners and small businesses pick Beacon.
Generac Elite Authorized Dealer
Highest-tier Generac dealer status, which unlocks factory-direct pricing, factory training for our installers, and direct factory warranty support. Most generator dealers are not Elite — the difference shows up in install quality, parts availability, and warranty claims when you actually need them.
Pre-Katrina Install Experience
Our owner has been installing standby generators on the Gulf Coast since 2008. That covers 9 named hurricanes (Gustav, Ike, Isaac, Cindy, Ida, Laura, Delta, Zeta, Francine) and the lessons learned each time. We size, locate, and protect installs for actual Gulf-Coast storm reality — not the catalog spec.
7-Year Combined Warranty
Manufacturer parts warranty (5–7 years depending on model) plus our written 5-year workmanship warranty. Combined coverage means a single phone call if anything fails in the first 5 years — we handle the warranty paperwork with the manufacturer instead of you doing it. Transferable on home sale.
Real Load Calculation, Not Estimate
We do a real electrical-load calculation on every install: actual breaker schedule, actual appliance loads, actual peak draw. Most dealers pick a generator size from a square-footage chart and oversell. We size correctly — typically 18kW–22kW for standard homes, not the 26kW+ the chart says you "need."
Common Questions
You probably want to know.
How much does a whole-home standby cost?+
Typical whole-home install (18–22kW Generac, transfer switch, gas-line work, permits): $11,500–$18,500. Smaller (essential-circuits) installs from $8,800. Larger (24kW+, full-home, complex sites): $19,500–$28,500. Commercial scale priced after site walk. Detailed line-item quote always.
How long does install take?+
Standard residential install: 2–3 days from concrete pad pour to first auto-test cycle. Permits add 5–10 business days depending on the parish or county. From signed contract to running generator: typically 4–6 weeks during normal demand, 8–12 weeks during peak storm-season ramp.
Will it run my whole house?+
An 18–22kW generator runs essentially everything in a typical 2,000–3,000 sqft home — AC, electric range, dryer, refrigerator, lights, and outlets — though you may need to manage simultaneous heavy loads. Smaller "essential circuit" installs cover refrigeration, well/sump, lights, and a single AC zone. We size based on your actual breaker schedule.
What about maintenance?+
Annual service is required to maintain the manufacturer warranty (oil, filters, spark plugs, battery, exercise verification — about 90 minutes on-site per year). Standing service contract $385/year, or pay-per-visit. Skipping annual service typically voids manufacturer warranty after year 2.
Are there rebates or insurance discounts?+
Many Gulf-Coast homeowner insurance carriers offer 5–15% discount for permitted whole-home standby. State Farm, Allstate, USAA, and Liberty Mutual all have documented discount programs. Louisiana also offers a state-level resilience tax credit on qualifying installs — we provide the documentation packet your tax preparer needs.
