Quick answers about generators, sizing, installs, and service in SE Michigan.
Most Troy homes fall in the 16–24 kW range. As a quick rule of thumb: a 1,500–2,500 sq ft home typically needs a 16–20 kW unit, while a 2,500–3,500 sq ft home usually needs a 20–24 kW unit to cover the whole home including the air conditioner, sump pump, and kitchen. Gas line capacity, panel size, and which circuits you want backed up all change the exact answer, so the only way to get the right size is a free on-site assessment. We'll measure your actual load and recommend the exact Generac model with a firm quote — no obligation.
A standard natural-gas standby install takes about 7–11 weeks from signed agreement to first run. The critical path is the DTE gas meter upgrade queue — in SE Michigan, a new or upsized gas meter usually runs 4–8 weeks to schedule through DTE, and the rest of the project (permitting, pad, electrical, gas line, transfer switch, inspection) wraps around that. We don't pad the timeline; that's what the actual queue looks like right now. We will give you a current estimate when you request your free quote.
Yes. A standby generator install in Michigan requires permits — typically two of them: an electrical permit (for the transfer switch and panel work) and a mechanical or gas permit (for the gas line extension). SE Michigan cities like Troy, Rochester Hills, and Bloomfield Hills each run their own building departments with their own timelines. Powerhouse Generator handles every permit application, schedules the inspections, and coordinates with the municipality so you never have to call the building department yourself. Permit fees are included in your quote.
Yes — financing is available. Most whole-home installs in our service area run $11,000–$17,500, which works out to roughly $150–$250 per month on standard 60–84 month terms through Generac manufacturer financing and our partner lenders. We also work with customers who prefer home equity lending, personal loans, or HELOC financing. The exact terms depend on credit approval, but financing details are reviewed during your free site assessment with no obligation to buy.
Every Generac whole-home standby we install in SE Michigan carries Generac's standard 5-year limited warranty on parts and labor (longer extended warranty options are available at purchase). Our service area covers Oakland and Macomb counties — including Troy, Bloomfield Hills, West Bloomfield, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township, Washington Township, Shelby Township, Birmingham, and Clarkston. Annual maintenance plans keep the warranty in force and put you at the front of the queue during storm events. Call (248) 266-5597 to confirm coverage for your address.
