What Is a Generac Whole-Home Standby Generator System?
A Generac standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system wired directly into your electrical panel. Unlike a portable generator, it runs on natural gas or propane, starts automatically the moment the power fails — usually within seconds — and shuts off on its own when the grid returns. You don't have to be home, haul fuel, or run extension cords. It powers what matters: heat and AC, the fridge, the sump pump, the well pump, medical equipment, and Wi-Fi — through outages that last minutes or days.
Without a standby generator, this is your reality after an Indiana storm.

How Much Does a Generac Generator Cost to Install?
The honest answer: it depends on your home. A whole-home Generac install is a complete backup power system — not a single plug-in appliance — so the price reflects the size of the unit your home needs, your transfer switch, how far the run is from your gas meter and panel, and whether the gas line needs an upgrade. Rather than throw out a number that changes the moment we see your setup, we give you a firm, all-in price after a free on-site assessment — no vague estimates, no surprise change orders.
What drives the price:
- Generator size (kW)
- Transfer switch type (whole-home vs. load-managing)
- Gas line or meter upgrades
- Distance from your panel and gas meter
- Concrete pad and placement
- Permits and inspection
What Size Generac Does a Central Indiana Home Need?
The right size depends on what you want to keep running — not just your home's square footage. A 2,500 sq ft home with central AC, a well pump, and electric appliances needs more capacity than a larger home on gas heat. Bigger isn't automatically better: an oversized unit costs more to buy, run, and fuel. We calculate your actual load during the free assessment and size it right.

What Comes With a Dylco Generac Installation
A complete, turnkey installation — no hidden costs, no surprise add-ons.
Free, No-Obligation Load Assessment & Quote
We come to your home, assess your actual electrical load, measure your gas line, scout the pad location, and give you a firm, line-item quote. Takes about an hour. No pressure.
Permit & Utility Coordination
We pull every permit from Westfield, Carmel, your municipality — and we coordinate with your gas utility and Duke Energy or AES Indiana for the gas line and meter sizing.
Concrete Pad & Site Prep
A proper generator sits on a reinforced concrete pad, not patio pavers. We pour it, level it, and set it at the right setback from property lines, walls, windows, doors, and utility meters.
Generator Delivery & Mechanical Install
Your Generac unit is delivered, placed, anchored, and connected — gas line run, regulator installed, exhaust positioned safely.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Wiring
The heart of the system. We wire the ATS between your meter and panel so it sees grid loss in milliseconds, fires the generator, and switches your load seamlessly. Every circuit, no extension cords.
Startup, Load Testing & Commissioning
We fire the unit cold, bring it to full load, test the transfer, and verify every circuit. We simulate an actual outage. You see it work.
Walkthrough, Training & Warranty Registration
We walk you through the controls, the weekly self-test, and the app (Mobile Link). We register your warranty, and you have our cell numbers.
Generac Financing Options
A whole-home generator is a long-term investment in comfort and safety. We offer flexible financing through Generac and third-party partners to make it work with your budget.
Generac Financing
- Competitive rates through Generac Capital
- Terms up to 60 months

Generac Generator Installation Near You — Westfield & Central Indiana
Dylco Electric is based in Westfield, Indiana, and we install Generac whole-home generators in every corner of Central Indiana — same crew, same standard, same accountability whether you're three miles from our shop or a half-hour drive. We know the municipalities (Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, Zionsville, Indianapolis, Sheridan, Cicero, Lebanon, Whitestown), their permitting offices, their inspectors, and their timelines.
That local knowledge matters when you're coordinating a gas line with Vectren or Citizens, a meter upgrade with Duke Energy or AES Indiana, and a building permit with the city — all while trying to get your generator installed before the next storm season. We've done thousands of jobs here. There's no learning curve.
We also work with homeowners who are building or moving to Central Indiana and want a generator spec'd and installed as part of their new construction or move-in. Pre-wire. Pre-pad. Done right from Day 1.
Generac Maintenance & Annual Service
A generator that sits for 12 months and is asked to run for 3 days straight is a generator that fails. Your Generac self-tests weekly — but that's not enough. Annual service keeps it warrantied, healthy, and ready for the outage that could come tonight.
What We Do at Annual Service
- Oil & filter change (synthetic)
- Air filter replacement
- Spark plug inspection & replacement
- Battery load test & terminal cleaning
- Transfer switch operation test
- Full-load run & voltage check
- Gas line & regulator inspection
- Control panel & firmware check
Why Annual Service Matters
- Keeps your warranty active — Generac requires proof of service
- Catches problems before they fail — during an outage
- Extends engine life — clean oil, clean air, clean spark
- Prevents the "It wouldn't start" call — and the guilt that follows
- Provides a service record for resale value
