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 Bat Cave customers never see surprise charges.
“Honest advice. They told me I didn't need a full panel upgrade for my EV charger — just a load manager — and saved me a lot of money.”
“The electrician replaced our old smoke detectors with interconnected units and installed a video doorbell. Thorough and reasonably priced.”
“Whole house generator installed before hurricane season. We lost power for two days last month and never noticed. Worth every penny.”
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 Bat Cave homes; larger homes or those running multiple HVAC systems may need a liquid-cooled unit. We perform a load calculation before recommending a size.
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.
