Standby Generator Installation in Dallas–Fort Worth

Standby Generator Installation in Dallas–Fort Worth

Cummins standby generator installation across Dallas–Fort Worth for whole-home and commercial backup power, from the authorized Cummins dealer's own licensed crews.

A typical complete 20kW whole-house Cummins standby generator installation in Dallas–Fort Worth runs $13,500 to $17,000 all in. That is an estimate: every home and business is different, so your price is quoted in writing after an on-site survey. Clements Electric is the electrical contracting arm of UTS ElectricPros, LLC — an authorized Cummins dealer — and trades as its assumed name, so the company that sells the equipment is the company that installs it. Load calculation, permitting, concrete pad, electrical hookup, and automatic transfer switch programming are handled by our own licensed electricians. The gas line is run by a licensed plumber: we hire and schedule one on a turnkey job, or you can hire your own plumber or propane company to save money. When ERCOT goes down, your generator starts automatically. Call 817-803-4444 for a turnkey quote.

On a turnkey job your written quote is one number covering the generator, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad, gas connection (run by a licensed plumber we hire), wiring, permits, and final inspection, with the gas line shown as its own line item. If you hire your own plumber or propane company for the gas portion, that line comes out of our quote. Every figure above is an estimate that varies with each home or business. Equipment prices for every Cummins model are published by UTS ElectricPros at utselectricpros.com.

UTS ElectricPros is the name we sell Cummins equipment under, and Clements Electric is the name we install it under: one company, one license. See every model and its price at UTS ElectricPros, the authorized Cummins dealer.

What's Included in Every Installation

  • Genuine Cummins equipment through an authorized dealer, with valid factory warranty — gray-market units from unauthorized resellers frequently are not covered
  • Load calculation to size the unit to your home — not a guess
  • All permits, utility coordination, city inspection, and HOA paperwork
  • Natural gas or propane hookup by a licensed plumber or your propane company, arranged by us or by you (most units are dual-fuel capable)
  • Automatic transfer switch programmed and tested before we leave

Air-cooled or liquid-cooled?

The Cummins air-cooled range covers most DFW homes: 13kW to 20kW, natural gas or LP, published at 65 dB(A) at 23 feet, and carrying a 5 year / 2,000 hour limited warranty. Above that the liquid-cooled RS range starts at 25kW for larger homes and multi-zone HVAC, and carries a 2 year standby base warranty rather than five — a real difference worth knowing before comparing two quotes. The automatic transfer switch is a separate product with its own 2 year warranty. Sizing is decided by air conditioning load, not square footage, so the recommendation comes from a load calculation rather than a quota.

Yes. Our electricians never run gas lines; a licensed plumber does, or your propane company on an LP system. On a turnkey job we hire and schedule the plumber, the gas line is its own line item in your quote, and we stand behind it. Some homeowners save money by hiring their own plumber or propane company instead. We then take the gas line out of our quote and give your plumber the generator's fuel demand, inlet pressure and pad location so they can size it, and your plumber warrants their own work.

Yes, for most 2,000–3,500 sq ft DFW homes — including central AC. Homes over 4,000 sq ft or with multiple HVAC zones move up to the liquid-cooled RS range, which starts at 25kW.

2–4 weeks from contract to final inspection: permitting (3–7 days), pad curing (3–5 days), delivery (1–2 weeks), then 1–2 days on site.

Yes — an electrical permit, plus a plumbing permit for the gas connection, which is pulled by the licensed plumber who runs the gas line. On a turnkey job we coordinate all permitting, inspections, and HOA approvals as part of the install.
