What's involved when installing a standby generator in your home?

When installing a standby generator in your home, you'll go through the following steps:

Inspection

A professional technician will thoroughly inspect and test your home to ensure it is ready for a new generator. They'll also help determine the best location and system size based on your power needs.

installation

Whether gas or electric, generator installation involves connecting to your home’s electrical system and installing a transfer switch to safely switch between utility and generator power. A licensed electrician is usually needed to ensure proper setup.

testing

The testing process includes safety testing and inspection by a licensed professional before turning on the generator for use in case it needs any further adjustments made before putting it into service permanently after installation is complete.

From helping you select the right generator to providing expert installation and long-term maintenance, our team is committed to quality, safety, and customer satisfaction every step of the way.

When you choose Osburn Services, you're not just getting a generator—you're getting a trusted partner in backup power.

Make sure there is a place for our team to work and store their equipment, plus a place where the generator can be stored when not in use.

Ensure all water sources are turned off (this includes sinks, showers, bathtubs, and laundry machines) before our crew arrives at your door.

We recommend setting up a temporary electricity source (using extension cords) so that lighting may be provided when we have our generator off-line from utility power.

Any existing service panels or junction boxes should be marked with tape so as not to be an obstacle, hazard, or source of confusion, both during and after installation.

Avoid placing your generator near gas lines, as contact with fuels like diesel or kerosene could pose a serious safety risk. Water lines should also be identified and avoided to prevent accidental damage when moving or installing heavy equipment.

Additionally, make sure there are no sewage lines in the area. A break during installation could lead to a messy and costly situation with sewage backing up into your yard. Planning ahead helps ensure a safe and smooth installation process.

FAQ's

The cost of a standby generator in Michigan can vary depending on the size and brand, but most whole-home generators range from $3,000 to $10,000. Portable generators are more affordable, typically starting around $500, but they don’t offer the same convenience or power capacity as a permanently installed unit.

Installation costs can vary based on the complexity of the job, the type of generator, and your home’s layout. In general, installation can add $2,000 to $5,000 to the total price. This includes permits, electrical work, plumbing for natural gas or propane, and setting the generator in place. At Osburn Services, we handle everything from start to finish, so you get a safe, professional install with no surprises.

Absolutely—financing can make a generator more affordable by breaking the cost into manageable monthly payments. It’s a great option if you want peace of mind now, without the full upfront expense. Especially in Michigan, where storms and outages can hit unexpectedly, financing helps you get protected sooner rather than later.
