Colorado's grid is under increasing pressure. Xcel Energy's Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program means planned outages during high-fire-risk conditions. Add in severe summer thunderstorms, winter ice storms, and aging infrastructure, and the case for backup power has never been stronger.
Unlike portable generators, a Generac standby generator is permanently installed at your home and turns on automatically within seconds of detecting an outage. No extension cords. No trips to the gas station. Just seamless, whole-home power.
Here's what homeowners on the Front Range can expect to invest in a complete Generac system, including the generator, transfer switch, concrete pad, permits, electrical work, and gas line:
| Generator Size | Equipment Cost | Installation & Permits | Total Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14 kW | $6,044 | $9,159 | $15,203 |
| 18 kW | $7,369 | $9,700 | $17,069 |
| 22 kW | $7,969 | $9,945 | $17,914 |
| 24 kW | $7,999 | $9,957 | $17,956 |
| 26 kW | $8,489 | $10,157 | $18,646 |
| 28 kW | $10,109 | $10,819 | $20,928 |
*Pricing based on standard installation scope. Additional costs may apply for panel upgrades, challenging gas line routes, or trenching.
