Professional generator
installation in Tulsa.

Whole-home standby generator installation in Tulsa typically runs $7,500–$18,000 fully installed, depending on generator size, complexity of the gas-line tie-in, transfer-switch type, and any panel work needed. A 16–22 kW unit on a typical 2,000 sq ft home with existing natural gas service usually falls in the $9,000–$13,000 range. The unit itself is roughly half the cost; the rest is concrete, electrical work, gas line, transfer switch, permits, and commissioning. Call (918) 992-6282 for a free on-site quote.

Yes. Generator installation in Tulsa typically requires both an electrical permit and a mechanical permit (for the gas line tie-in). M Electric handles all permitting, coordinates with PSO and the gas utility, and schedules the City of Tulsa inspections as part of the service. You don't need to interact with the permit office at all — we handle it end-to-end.

Technically any licensed electrician can install one, but it's strongly preferred to work with electricians who have specific generator and transfer-switch experience. Sizing errors, improper bonding, incorrect transfer-switch wiring, and undersized gas lines are common failure modes when this work is treated as a standard panel install. M Electric has installed many whole-home generators across the Tulsa metro and is registered as an installer with major manufacturers.

Both Kohler and Generac make excellent whole-home generators with different strengths. Generac dominates the residential market in the US and has the broadest dealer network, which usually means faster parts availability for service. Kohler is often preferred for higher reliability under heavy continuous load and tends to have quieter operation. We install both and walk you through the trade-offs based on your specific situation, runtime expectations, and budget.

Effectively indefinitely on natural gas, since the gas utility almost never goes down with the electric grid. On a propane tank, runtime depends on tank size — a typical 500-gallon tank running a 22 kW generator at half-load lasts roughly a week before needing a refill. We help you size both the generator and the fuel source to your expected outage scenarios.
