What the quote should clarify
The cheapest quote is not always the clearest quote. Compare whether each estimate includes generator pad or base, transfer switch, electrical labor, gas or propane work, trenching, permits, startup, warranty registration, maintenance plan, and restoration after installation.
Questions to ask before approving a scope
- What loads will be backed up, and which loads are excluded?
- What transfer equipment is included?
- Who handles permits, inspections, utility coordination, and startup?
- What gas or propane work is included?
- What maintenance is required after installation?
