Why this isn’t a DIY project: Permits and Safety First

Installing a whole home generator isn’t a weekend project, it’s a major electrical and gas-powered system that requires expertise, precision, and legal compliance. One missed step can result in safety risks, failed inspections, or even voided warranties.

At The Gen Stop, we work directly with local municipalities to ensure everything is done by the book and up to code. Our licensed technicians are trained to navigate every step so you don’t have to.

Here’s what we handle for you:

  • Pulling All Required Permits – No waiting in line at city offices or guessing what paperwork you need.

  • Following Local Building and Utility Codes – Every installation is tailored to your city or parish requirements.

  • Scheduling and Passing Final Inspections – We coordinate directly with inspectors to make sure your system is fully approved and ready to run.

When you choose The Gen Stop, you're getting more than just a generator, you're getting a professional, safe, and fully certified installation from a team that does this every day.

How Long Does an installation Take?

Construction workers install a large HVAC unit using a Komatsu excavator at a building site near a lake, with trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background.

Most whole home generator installations are completed in just 24 to 48 hours once we have the permits approved and the equipment on-site. We know how important it is to get powered up quickly, especially during storm season, so we make efficiency a priority without cutting corners.

  • Typical turnaround time: 1 to 2 days

  • Permitting and weather delays: Times may vary depending on your location and weather conditions, but we always aim to schedule installs as soon as possible

  • Constant communication: From scheduling to inspection, we keep you updated at every step so you’re never left wondering what’s next

With The Gen Stop, you won’t wait weeks wondering when your generator will be ready, we move fast, stay in touch, and get the job done right.
