"Respected our home in every way…"
—Sharron Z. | Colorado HomeownerBrett is not only a good electrician in is one of the best repair persons I have ever had in my home. He was very pleasant, did the work in a timely manner, and respected our home in every way.
A properly sized whole-home generator can keep the essentials — or your entire house — running during an outage. Depending on the size you choose, that can include:
- Heating and air conditioningDuring your free estimate, our licensed electricians perform a load assessment to size your generator to exactly what you want to power. Call (720) 805-1890 to get started.
The size of a generator affects its cost. With the Cooper Green Team, our licensed electrician will assess your home's electrical usage and appliances during the free estimate to help you choose the right-sized unit for your needs. Whether you need a 16kW generator or something larger, we can help.
Various fuel types, including natural gas, propane, diesel, and biodiesel, power generators.
Our experts can help you weigh the pros and cons of each option and determine the most cost-effective solution for your home. We can install one for you if you don't have a natural gas line.
A whole-home generator requires a strong electrical connection.
To ensure your generator is installed correctly, budget for a sub-panel, transfer switch, and potential repairs to your home's wiring. Our licensed electricians will handle everything, ensuring a safe and code-compliant installation.
A whole-home (standby) generator is permanently installed outside your home and wired to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. It typically runs on natural gas or propane. When it detects a power outage, the transfer switch disconnects your home from the grid and starts the generator automatically — usually within seconds — powering your home until grid power returns, then switching back and shutting itself off. No manual setup required.
It depends on what you want to power. A smaller unit can cover essentials like your furnace, refrigerator, sump pump, and some lights and outlets, while a larger unit (often 16kW to 26kW or more) can run your whole home, including AC. A licensed electrician sizes your generator with a load assessment based on your specific home and appliances.
A standby generator connected to your natural gas line can run continuously for days or even weeks, since it draws from your home's gas supply. Propane models run until the tank is depleted, so runtime depends on tank size. For very long outages, manufacturers recommend brief pauses for maintenance and cool-down.
They're increasingly common along the Front Range. As wildfires, high winds, and winter storms cause more frequent outages, more Colorado homeowners are installing whole-home generators to keep heat, refrigeration, medical equipment, and internet running when the grid goes down.
Yes. Like any engine, a standby generator needs regular maintenance — typically an annual service that includes an oil and filter change, battery check, and a test run, plus the periodic self-tests the unit runs on its own. Cooper can install and maintain your generator so it's ready when you need it.
Cost depends on the generator's size, fuel type, and any electrical upgrades your home needs (like a sub-panel or transfer switch). Because it varies so much from home to home, we provide free in-home estimates with upfront pricing before any work begins.

If you’re looking for a backup power source to keep every home appliance up and running, you want a whole-home generator. But how much is a whole-home generator in Colorado? Does the cost include installation?
A generator is a nice, all-purpose solution if your house is the victim of frequent blackouts. When the lights go out, the generator kicks on and provides you with temporary electricity. But what size backup generator do you need?
Looking to stay powered when the grid is struggling? If so, you may be wondering if it’s worth investing in a whole-home generator. Especially considering Colorado’s increase in downed power grids due to storms and wildfires.
