PowerPro’s Guide to Purchasing & Installing a Whole Home Standby Generator

PowerPro Offers Dependable Back-Up Power Systems, Standby Generator Installation & Maintenance Plans to Fit Every Budget!

PowerPro knows that purchasing and arranging a whole home standby generator installation involves far more than buying a piece of equipment and having it delivered to your driveway. The right generator, properly sized and professionally installed, is a long-term investment in you and your family’s safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

That’s why working with PowerPro, your full-service generator dealer, makes all the difference.

Step 1: Partner With PowerPro- Your Full-Service Generator Dealer

A whole home standby generator is a complete system — not a DIY project.

Choosing PowerPro, a certified, full-service dealer, ensures:

  • Model selection from the top brands in the industry
  • Proper generator sizing and selection
  • Code-compliant placement and installation
  • Permit management and inspections
  • Safe electrical and fuel connections

  • Complete peace of mind

Step 2: Schedule a Free Site Visit & Consultation

A PowerPro Generator Expert will visit your home to evaluate your needs and manage the entire planning process.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Recommend the correct generator size, brand, and type for your home
  • For your home standby generator installation, we will determine the best generator placement in compliance with local codes and manufacturer requirements
  • Manage municipal permits and approvals
  • Review electrical and fuel requirements (Natural Gas or Propane)
  • Answer all your questions so you fully understand the process before moving forward

Step 3: Receive a Clear, All-Inclusive Proposal

  • The generator
  • The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS)

All work is completed according to code and manufacturer specifications.

Step 6: Fuel Supply & Electrical Connections

Our licensed professionals complete:

  • Fuel source hookup (Natural Gas or Propane)
  • Electrical wiring and ATS integration

Step 7: System Testing & Final Inspection

As a crucial step in your standby generator installation, your PowerPro installer will fully test your generator system and coordinate final inspections to ensure everything operates correctly and passes municipal approval.

Step 8: Startup, Warranty Registration & Maintenance

As the final step in your comprehensive home standby generator installation, PowerPro will:

  • Start and program your generator
  • Register the generator to activate warranty coverage
  • Schedule ongoing preventive maintenance

Your system is now ready when you need it most.

Important Considerations: Why Buying “Just a Generator” Can Cost You More

You may think you found a great deal buying a generator online or from a big-box retailer — but without proper planning and professional home standby generator installation, you may end up with an expensive piece of equipment you can’t safely or legally use.

IMPORTANT: Be aware that portable generators are not the same as whole home standby generators.

Before spending thousands of dollars, ask yourself:

  • Is this generator properly sized for my home?
  • Do I have all required home standby generator installation components?
  • Do I have access to Natural Gas or Propane?
  • Does the placement meet local codes and manufacturer requirements?
  • Who will handle permits and inspections?
  • Who will install the transfer switch and electrical connections?
  • Who will connect the fuel source?
  • Who will start, program, and test the system?
  • Will it pass inspection — and who fixes issues if it doesn’t?
  • Who registers the generator for warranty coverage?
  • Who performs required preventive maintenance?

If you can’t confidently answer every question — PowerPro Generators can.
