Types of Home Generators
The home generator installation cost will depend on the type of generator you choose. There are pros and cons to each type, and it's important to talk to an expert about your needs. At Mr. Electric of North Shore and Metairie, we most often recommend these kinds of generator:
Portable Home Generators
This type of generator is a good choice if you only need to power a few appliances temporarily. They have a manual start and must be connected to the appliances you'd like to power. Portable generators are quite inexpensive, running at only around $1,500. However, they pose an increased risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if used in an improper location in your home.
Home Standby Generators
Home standby generators are your best bet if you want the power automatically restored during an interruption. These generators use natural gas or propane to switch on as soon as a power outage is detected. Homeowners with standby generators enjoy increased peace of mind that their appliances will continue to work while the power is down. But that convenience comes at a price—these generators can run up to $15,000.
