Project overview

The short version

Read the full Project Note

Generator Budget is a free planning calculator for US homeowners pricing a whole-house standby generator. It starts from a 2,200 sq ft national baseline (about $8,770 to $18,160 installed, $13,720 typical) and replaces it with your own home size, generator size, backup coverage, fuel, distance and site condition, showing an itemized range. It cites its sources, including Generac, Home Depot and federal price and wage data, and says plainly that the result is a planning estimate, not a contractor quote. There's no signup and no sales call.
