Where to Buy a Home Generator
Where you buy a backup standby generator can be just as important as the generator itself. The three different ways to purchase are: Dealers, Distributors and Retailers.
Home Standby Generator dealers are factory trained to sell, install and service your investment. Purchasing from a dealer gives you the ease of a one-stop shop and provides you with an expert you can trust through the life of your product.
If you prefer to shop in-store or online, take a look at our retail partners below to get started. Note: You will still need to contact one of our trained dealers to install the product to guarantee proper installation.*
Retailers
If you are ready to purchase your home standby generator, you can do so online or in-store. Remember to reach out to one of our dealers to guarantee a proper installation.
Home Generator Installation Process
At Briggs & Stratton, we understand no two homes require the same backup power solution. From the layout of the property, location of the service panel, to the lights and appliances requiring backup power, installing a standby generator system is truly a custom solution. That’s why we’re dedicated to making installation seamless and stress-free for you.
In-Home Consultation
To start the home generator installation process, your local dealer will conduct an on-site visit to determine your home’s specific installation needs and what local permits are needed before starting.
At this time they will check your electrical meter, gas lines and circuit breaker panel location to help scout the best placement option for your generator unit and determine the wiring specifications your home will need.
Finally, the dealer will also discuss which fuel option, natural gas or liquid propane, is available and will work best for your home’s generator system.
Installation Price Estimate
A dealer will recommend the best home generator and module placement for your needs. Pricing estimates will be based on the standby generator, in addition to:
- Required transfer switch and modules
- Generator installation cost, which are dependent on home electrical and fuel configuration
- Permit costs, labor and other incidental requirements
Your dealer will also walk you through any accessories you may want to consider purchasing and available financing options.
Prep & Installation
The dealer will help you finalize the following prior to your installation:
- Dealer will obtain necessary permits, which you will legally need to install a standby generator system on your property.
- Dealer will finalize installation requirements (concrete slab vs. underground wiring) and order necessary materials
- Schedule the installation date
- Note: Generators cannot be installed when the ground is frozen, late spring, summer and early fall are ideal times for cold climate residents.
