Most homeowners pay between $1,500 and $5,000 for installation labor alone, with a fully installed whole home standby system typically running $12,000 to $22,000 or more depending on the generator’s size (Angi). Our Hendrick team gives you an exact quote after a free on site assessment.
Most residential generator installations take one to three days once the unit arrives and permits are in hand. Larger jobs with electrical panel upgrades or longer gas line runs may take a bit longer, and we will walk you through the timeline upfront.
Yes, standby generator installation in Tulsa typically requires electrical and gas permits. Hendrick handles the entire permitting process for you, so you don’t have to deal with the city yourself.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage and which appliances and systems you want to keep running during an outage. Our technicians perform a load calculation on site so you get a generator sized correctly the first time, not one that is too small or an oversized waste of money.
While a small portable generator can be set up on your own, connecting a generator to your home’s electrical panel or a gas line is not a DIY job. It requires a licensed professional to keep your family safe and your installation up to code.
Most residential generators run on natural gas, propane, or diesel, and each option has its own cost and availability tradeoffs. We help you weigh the options based on your home’s existing utility hookups and how often Tulsa storms tend to knock out your power.
A generator needs a level concrete pad set a safe distance from windows, doors, and vents, and clear of low lying or flood prone spots on your property. Our team scouts the ideal placement during your consultation so the unit is both code compliant and out of the way.
A well maintained whole home standby generator typically lasts 15 to 25 years, while portable units usually last 10 to 15 years. Routine annual maintenance from Hendrick helps your generator stay ready for Tulsa’s next ice storm or summer outage.
