Regional variancePricing and technical assumptions vary by region. This calculator uses averaged inputs for labor rates, materials, climate zone, and utility costs. Actual figures in your market may differ materially. For a location-specific quote, contact a licensed contractor in your area.

Want it sized to spec?

A licensed electrician confirms the panel, transfer switch, and gas line - and whether load management lets you run a smaller (cheaper) unit. Send it over and we'll follow up.
