Every installation is different; a site visit is required to determine whether your installation will cost less or more than this estimate. Clements Electric is an assumed name of UTS ElectricPros, LLC, an authorized Cummins dealer, so the company that sells the equipment is the company that installs it. Our licensed electricians handle the load calculation, permitting, concrete pad, electrical hookup and automatic transfer switch programming. 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 the utility power drops, the transfer switch starts the generator and moves your home onto it automatically. Call 817-803-4444 for a turnkey quote.

See financing options 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. Our crews collect the unit from Cummins stock at the Cummins Regional Distribution Center in Dallas and deliver it to your property themselves. 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.

- A load calculation to size the unit to your home
- All permits, utility coordination, city inspection, and HOA paperwork

## 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 mainly by air conditioning load, not square footage, so the recommendation comes from a load calculation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

How much does standby generator installation cost in Dallas–Fort Worth? A typical complete 20kW whole-house installation runs $13,500 to $17,000 all in, including the transfer switch, pad, gas line, permits, and inspection. Estimate only. Every installation is different; a site visit is required to determine whether your installation will cost less or more than this estimate. Equipment prices for every Cummins model are published at utselectricpros.com.

Can I hire my own plumber for the gas line? 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.

Will a 20kW generator power my whole house? For most 2,000–3,500 sq ft DFW homes, yes, central AC included, often with load management. The Cummins RS20A is rated 20kW on propane and 18kW on natural gas. Homes over about 4,000 sq ft or with several HVAC zones move up to the liquid-cooled RS range, which starts at 25kW. The load calculation at the survey decides it.

What size generator a 200-amp service needs How long does standby generator installation take? The on-site work usually takes one to two days. The calendar time before that depends on your city's permit turnaround, HOA approval if you have one, and equipment delivery, and we give you a schedule with the quote.

Do I need a permit to install a generator in Dallas or Fort Worth? 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.
