## Frequently asked questions
### 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.
