Every requirement is different. Your generator will be sized based on the electrical load it will be carrying. The only real answer is to have Backitup provide a complimentary site assessment to recommend a proper solution to fit your specific requirements.

When we complete the site assessment we will provide you a price. Backitup provides a turnkey solution. We use licenced technician to install the Generator and transfer switch and will do landscaping work if required.

The air-cooled generators are all about 66db at 20 feet. What does this mean? It means you can have a regular conversation between two people standing next to a running air-cooled generator.

In most residential installs,  a gas meter upgrade is not required. If your gas meter requires an upgrade, you will need to notify your local gas utility provider and  it is a simple process at a minimal cost if any.

As part of a turnkey install, Backitup will coordinate with ESA and get a permit.

Our recommendation is to have your generator serviced once per year unless you have additional needs such as medical equipment. We offer Generator serving as part of our offer to you.

The average life expectancy of a standby generator is around 15 years of operation under normal emergency standby conditions.

Depending on the price of natural gas, it shouldn’t cost more than $5 or $10 per month to run the unit in exercise mode. During a power outage, under 50% load expect to pay around $20-$40/day for gas usage. A lot cheaper than a hotel room or spoiled food!

Home standby generators can be fueled by either Natural Gas or Liquid Propane.

With Backitup, you’re dealing with ONE company.

Most air-cooled residential generators are around 350-550lbs.

Yes, we provide the battery as part of our service to you. This is just one of the items included with a turnkey installation.
