Install Your Generator Before the Next Outage
From the first consultation to the final hookup, most Midwest installations take 2 to 4 weeks, depending on permitting and site preparation. Starting now gets your generator installed and tested before the next storm takes the power out, not scheduled after it.
Midwest handles the permits, the installation and the inspections with its own Master Electricians and factory-trained technicians, never subcontractors, and once our crew is on site most installations are completed in a single day.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Generator Installation
What does Midwest handle during a generator installation?
All of it. We visit the site, pull the permits with a licensed electrician, prepare the pad, place and anchor the generator, connect the fuel supply, install the automatic transfer switch, wire the system to state code, coordinate with your utility, pass the final inspection and simulate an outage to prove it works. Then we show you how to run it.
How long will the installation take?
Most installations are completed in a single day. From the first consultation to the final hookup, the whole process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on permitting and site preparation.
Do I need a permit for generator installation?
Yes, and we pull it. Midwest pulls the required permits with a licensed electrician, schedules the inspections and does not close the job until they pass. As a Minnesota-based installer working across the Upper Midwest, we know the local codes.
How do I choose the right size generator?
That is the first conversation, at your free estimate. Our Master Electricians work out what you want to keep running during an outage, from the furnace and well pump to the whole house, and size the unit to that, not to a catalog number.
Which generator brands do you install?
Generac first: Midwest holds Generac’s highest dealer status, Generac Prestige, and we install the Guardian Series, the QuietSource Series and Generac Mobile Link remote monitoring. We also install Kohler, Winco, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton generators.
Can I finance my generator installation?
Yes. Financing is through Synchrony Bank, subject to credit approval: you can prequalify in seconds, with no down payment and monthly payments.

Across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North Dakota. Choose your state on our service areas page, then find your city.
