What a standby generator costs in North Dallas

Two companies in this guide publish installed prices on their own websites — Grasten Power Technologies and Berkeys Plumbing, A/C & Electrical. Every other installer prices your job after a site visit. So the figures below are those two companies' own published prices, used as local context — not a quote from any other company in this guide.

Reference range

Taken together, those published prices put a typical installed standby system in North Dallas roughly in the $7,000–$30,000 range, with most average homes between $10,000 and $17,000. Treat that as context, not a quote: your home's size, fuel supply and electrical setup move the number.

What drives your specific quote

  • System size in kW — how much of the house you want to keep running
  • Fuel: natural gas or LP, and the gas line work needed
  • Transfer switch type — automatic or manual
  • Electrical panel work or upgrades
  • Permits and inspections — Grasten includes City of Dallas permits in its published prices; HomeSafe states permits are included
  • Distance and trenching between the unit, the meter and the panel
  • Concrete pad, placement and clearance requirements

What no figure covers

Top Notch Electrician publishes Generac maintenance packages on its own website — $415 (air-cooled) and $889 (liquid-cooled) — but that is maintenance, not installation. Ask each installer what maintenance costs and what it includes, and get the installed price in writing with the scope itemized — kW, brand, transfer switch, permits, gas line and warranty.
