Generator Installation IN CHATTANOOGA & NORTH GEORGIA
Power Through Every Outage
Storms and ice in Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia can knock out power for hours or days. A properly installed generator keeps your heat or AC, refrigerator, sump pump, well pump and lights running, and protects your home while you wait for the utility.
Generator installation brings together electrical work, gas line work and permits. Metro handles all of it: sizing the generator for the loads you want to power, installing the transfer switch, running the gas supply and making the electrical connections to code.
For portable generators, we install a transfer switch or interlock and inlet, so you never have to rely on dangerous extension cords or backfeeding. You’ll get a complete, upfront price before work begins.

TRANSPARENT, UPFRONT PRICING
What Affects the Cost of Generator Installation?
Generator installation cost depends on the generator type and size, which circuits or loads you want to power, the transfer switch, the distance from the panel and gas supply, the concrete pad or base, and permits and inspections.
Because Metro handles both electrical and gas line work, we can price the complete installation upfront, with financing for qualified customers.
You always get the price before any work begins. Financing is available for qualified customers on larger jobs.
EXPERT TIP FROM METRO’S MASTER-CERTIFIED TEAM
Keep Generators Outside
Never run a portable generator in a garage, basement or near open windows, even with the door open. Generators produce carbon monoxide, which can build up to deadly levels quickly. Keep it outdoors, well away from the house, and use a proper transfer switch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Our team is happy to help, day or night.
What Is a Standby Generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed, runs on natural gas or propane and starts automatically when the power goes out.
What Size Generator Do I Need?
It depends on what you want to power: essentials like the fridge, lights and furnace, or the whole house including AC. We'll size it with you.
Why Do I Need a Transfer Switch?
A transfer switch safely connects the generator to your home and prevents dangerous backfeed onto utility lines.
Can I Connect a Portable Generator?
Yes. We install a transfer switch or interlock and inlet so a portable generator can safely power selected circuits.
Do You Handle the Gas Line Too?
Yes. Because Metro has plumbing and electrical teams, we can run the gas line and the electrical connection.
Is Financing Available?
Yes. Financing is available for qualified customers.
