What the quote should clarify
Whole-home coverage may require load shedding or managed circuits if HVAC, electric ranges, dryers, EV charging, or large appliances cannot all run at once. Ask whether the quote assumes full simultaneous load or priority-based backup.
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?
