Every project is different, but the main cost factors are the scope of work, materials and fixtures selected, the distance wire must run from the panel, accessibility (attic, crawlspace or finished walls) and whether a permit and inspection are required. We provide a firm written quote before work begins, so Barco customers never see surprise charges.
“Under-cabinet lighting and new pendants over the island. Looks like a magazine kitchen now.”
“Fast, fair and friendly. Added six outlets and two dimmers in the basement — looks like it was always there.”
“Our restaurant kitchen kept tripping breakers during the dinner rush. They added dedicated circuits over two nights and we've had zero issues since.”
Installed cost varies with generator size, distance from the panel and fuel source. We provide a complete quote covering the electrical installation, transfer switch and permits. Call (888) 592-6466.

It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Barco homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
Most standby generator electrical installations in Barco are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
A portable generator with a properly installed transfer switch and inlet is a safe, lower-cost option. Never backfeed a generator through a dryer outlet — it is dangerous to you and to utility workers.
