What the quote should clarify
Generator replacement can be simpler than a first-time installation, but the quote should still inspect the transfer switch, wiring, fuel connection, exhaust clearances, pad condition, service access, and whether the old generator size still fits the home's current loads.
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?
