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 Oriental customers never see surprise charges.
“Office build-out with dozens of workstations and a server room. Finished on schedule and the inspector had zero notes.”
“Whole house generator installed before hurricane season. We lost power for two days last month and never noticed. Worth every penny.”
“Had an electrical inspection done before buying our home. The report was detailed and saved us from an expensive surprise.”
Most standby generator electrical installations in Oriental are completed in one to two days once the pad and fuel line are in place.
It depends on what you want to run. A 14–22 kW air-cooled unit covers most Oriental 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.
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.
