How Home Generators Work

Choosing the Right Generator for Your Home
The home generator installation cost depends on the type and size of the unit you select. At Mr. Electric of Wichita, we offer expert guidance in choosing the best option for your needs. Here are two primary types of home generators:
Portable Generators
If you need a cost-effective option to power select appliances during an outage, a portable generator may be the right choice. These generators require manual operation and direct connection to the appliances you want to run. While they have a lower upfront cost—typically around $1,500—they require careful handling to prevent carbon monoxide exposure and ensure safe usage.
Standby Generators
A standby generator is the best power solution for homeowners seeking automatic and comprehensive backup energy. These units run on propane or natural gas and activate as soon as an outage occurs, ensuring a seamless transition to backup power. While the cost to install a home generator of this type can range up to $15,000, the reliability and convenience they offer make them a worthwhile investment for long-term peace of mind.
