Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers
For a standard home with essentials (fridge, furnace, lighting, outlets): 8-12 kW. For full comfort (A/C, stove, dryer): 14-22 kW. A precise load analysis determines the optimal size.
10 kW Generac/Kohler installed: approximately $8,000-$12,000 all-inclusive (generator + automatic transfer + installation + permits + startup). 14 kW: $10,000-$15,000. 20-22 kW: $13,000-$18,000.
Generac is our main brand (most installed in North America, 5-year warranty). Kohler as a premium alternative. We adapt to your preference.
The automatic transfer switch (ATS) detects Hydro-Québec outages within seconds, starts the generator, transfers the load to the generator, then reverses when power returns. Everything is automatic — you don't need to do anything.
If your home is connected to natural gas: it's the best option (unlimited runtime). Otherwise, propane (100-500 lb tank depending on usage). Diesel is rare in residential.
