Stay Comfortable & Safe During Power Outages

Q: How long does the installation process take?

Most on-site installations take one to two days once we’re cleared to install. The full timeline typically ranges from 4 to 20 weeks, driven mainly by local permitting, HOA approvals (when applicable), and inspections. Once approvals are in place, scheduling, installation, and start-up move quickly.

Q: What happens during a power outage?

When your home loses utility power from downed lines, blown transformers, or other issues, your automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator, and transfers your home to generator power within seconds. When utility power is stable again, the system transfers your home back, then shuts off and resets automatically.

Q: Will a standby generator power my whole home?

It can, depending on how your home is set up and what you want powered. We size the generator to match your home’s electrical load and priorities. During your on-site assessment, we review major appliances and air conditioning systems, confirm what you want to run during an outage, and recommend the right generator size and configuration to support it.

Q: Where will the generator be installed?

Outside your home in a location that meets clearance and safety requirements, allows proper airflow, and stays accessible for service. We also consider noise, sight lines, and property layout. If your community has HOA or ARC requirements, we’ll help document placement and support the approval process.

Q: Do I need to be home for installation?

Yes. We ask that the homeowner be available at the start and again at completion. We may need access to the electrical panel and fuel connection areas, and we’ll walk you through operation, monitoring, and what to expect during an outage.

Q: Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes. Bo’s manages the permitting process and coordinates required inspections with local jurisdictions and utilities. Some areas require a current property survey or site plan. If you already have one, we can use it. If not, we can help you understand what’s needed and the best way to obtain it.

Q: What maintenance does it need?

Standby generators require routine maintenance based on time and run hours, following Generac’s requirements. This typically includes oil and filter service, inspection, and a full operational test. Staying current on maintenance helps ensure reliability and can be required to maintain warranty coverage. Our Diamond Membership handles this for you long term, with the annual visit, 24/7 monitoring, a parts and labor discount, and priority scheduling.

Q: Do you offer financing?

Yes. Bo’s Generators partners with Synchrony to offer monthly payment plans for eligible homeowners, including 0% promotional options with approved credit.

Q: What can financing be used for?

Financing can be applied toward your Generac home standby generator system, including installation, based on the qualifying purchase and program terms.

Q: What will my monthly payment be?

It depends on the system and the plan you choose. As an example, a $15,000 system can run around $180 per month on a long-term plan, or be paid off interest-free within the promotional window. We confirm your exact options as part of your free quote.
