If you've watched your neighborhood go dark every storm season, a 22 kW standby generator is the size that ends it for good, automatically, within seconds, for the whole house.

The 22 kW Generac Guardian is the most popular home standby generator in the country, and 22 kW is its best-selling whole-house size. It carries the air conditioning, furnace blower, sump or well pump, kitchen, and the circuits that matter across a typical Fishers or Noblesville home, while staying air-cooled, so it costs far less to buy and install than the liquid-cooled systems built for estates.

01
Engineering
& why

Sized to your home, never beyond it

Generator sizing isn't about square footage. It's about the electrical load you actually want to keep running, which is why we start every job with an NEC 220 load calculation rather than a rule of thumb.

For the large majority of Fishers and Noblesville homes, 22 kW is the unit that calc points to: enough to run the whole house at once on natural gas, without paying for liquid-cooled capacity you'll never draw.

Where a panel sits right at the line, a Smart Management Module sheds non-essential circuits for the brief moments of peak demand, so you stay whole-house-capable on a right-sized generator.

Process

From quote to first storm

A standby install is electrical work and gas work and a permit, in the right order. Most are running within a day or two of the permit and gas being scheduled.

STEP 01
Load calc & quote
We run the NEC 220 calc, confirm fuel and placement, and hand you a fixed-bid quote, no "call for pricing."
STEP 02
Permit & pad
We pull the electrical permit with your local AHJ and set a level composite pad at code clearance.
STEP 03
Electrical & gas tie-in
The transfer switch wires into your load center and the gas line is sized to the unit's demand.
STEP 04
Commission & monitor
We load-test the system, set up Mobile Link remote monitoring, register the warranty, and walk you through it.

Local notes

Built for Fishers storms & Fishers rules

Across Hamilton County the power you're backing up is usually Duke Energy or AES Indiana; in the city of Anderson it's Anderson Municipal Light & Power. The failure modes are wind and ice in the cold months and derecho-style thunderstorm clusters in summer.

Placement matters as much as sizing. We site the unit to manufacturer and code setbacks from doors, windows, and the meter, and keep it HOA-conscious. Before any gas-line work we file an Indiana 811 locate.

FAQ
Will a 22 kW really run my whole house?

For most Fishers and Noblesville homes on natural gas, yes: A/C, furnace blower, sump or well pump, kitchen, and living circuits, all at once. The load calc confirms it for your specific home.

How long does the installation take?

Once the permit is pulled and the gas work is scheduled, most 22 kW installs are completed and commissioned within one to two days.

Natural gas or propane?

If your home already has natural gas, that is almost always the answer: an essentially unlimited supply. Propane suits rural properties without a gas main.

What does a 22 kW install cost, and why fixed-bid?

Total cost depends on the unit, your gas and electrical setup, and the placement run, which is exactly why we quote a transparent, fixed bid after the on-site load calc instead of a vague "starting at" number. You know the price before we start, and it does not move on you mid-job.

How loud is it, and how often does it run?

Day to day it is quiet: the unit runs a brief weekly self-test (its "exercise" cycle) and is otherwise silent until the power goes out. The enclosure is built for low-dB operation, and we place it to keep sound away from bedrooms and patios.

Who services it after the install?

We do. As a factory-authorized dealer we perform warranty-compliant maintenance and repairs ourselves.

External

Every standby system is installed under the National Electrical Code as an optional standby system, with transfer equipment and overcurrent protection sized to spec and to permit.

The trust claim that counts

Factory-authorized, so your warranty stays intact.

We are a factory-authorized Generac dealer, and that matters for one concrete reason: only an authorized service dealer can perform warranty repairs on a Generac. Work by an uncertified technician can put your coverage at risk. So whether we install your unit or take over one someone else did, our service keeps you warranty-compliant.

  • Authorized for sales, installation, and warranty-compliant service
  • Take-over service for orphaned Generac units, coverage intact
  • We answer the phone, and we service what we install

Where we work

We're based in Fishers and cover the surrounding Hamilton and Madison County area. When storms take the power out it is usually a Duke Energy or AES Indiana outage; over in Anderson it is Anderson Municipal Light & Power. Pick your city for the local permitting and utility details.
