Frequently Asked Questions About Home Generator Installation

Your needs are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are your concerns. Whole-house generator installation can be reliable, flexible, safe and affordable. Here is what matters most for you to know.

A standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system fueled by propane or natural gas that automatically activates when your home loses electricity. When an outage occurs, an automatic transfer switch detects the power loss and signals the generator to start, usually within seconds. Once utility power returns, the system switches back and shuts down the generator, all without manual intervention.

Standby generators offer automatic operation, higher power capacity and quieter performance, making them ideal for whole-house coverage and long outages. They require professional setup because they become a permanent fixture of your home. Portable generators are more affordable and mobile, but they need manual startup and frequent refueling and cannot power an entire home. Standby is the better long-term solution for seamless backup power.

The total cost for whole-house standby generator installation depends on factors like your generator size, fuel type, site conditions, transfer switch, electrical and fuel hookups, permits and labor. Larger properties or complex installations are correspondingly more expensive.

Like any engine-powered system, a standby generator needs regular upkeep to perform reliably. Maintenance tasks include oil and filter changes, battery checks, air filter replacement, spark plug inspection and leak testing. Most manufacturers recommend service every six months to one year or after 100 to 200 hours of use. Professional maintenance also includes testing the transfer switch and running full-load simulations to ensure your generator will perform when it’s needed most. Skipping service can void your warranty and lead to costly failures during outages.

Yes. Standby generators require a dedicated propane tank sized to match your generator’s fuel consumption and expected runtime. Larger tanks run longer and perform better in extreme weather; a 250- to 500-gallon tank is suitable for most residential setups. Pico Propane will determine the correct tank size and install it to meet local safety codes.

Whole-house generator installation involves electrical work, fuel connections and strict code compliance. A DIY approach can void your warranty and create safety hazards. The skilled installers at Pico Propane and Fuels handle everything professionally, calculating the correct size and installing it to comply with local codes and manufacturers’ standards for long-term reliability.

Standby generators require proper clearance for safety, ventilation and maintenance. Most manufacturers and local codes require at least five feet of distance from windows, doors and vents to prevent carbon monoxide intrusion. You will also need 18 inches from the back of the unit to any wall and three feet of clearance on the front and sides for airflow and access. Avoid placing your generator under a deck or near flammable materials. Pico Propane’s trained service techs handle site evaluation and placement to ensure that your whole-house generator installation meets all safety and code requirements.

As a certified Kohler and Generac dealer, Pico Propane and Fuels sells, installs and services industry-leading home generators.
