A whole-home standby generator in Tarrytown sits on a pad outside, runs on natural gas or propane, and starts on its own through an automatic transfer switch when the power fails. Published national ranges put a standard installed system at about $6,000 to $11,000, and larger units or long runs at about $9,500 to $24,000. See the cost table on our home page for sources.
Before anyone gives you a price, a contractor should visit, look at your panel and fuel supply, and work out the generator size from what you want to run. Most villages and towns in Westchester County require a permit and inspection for generator work, and your contractor should pull it. Placement has to meet the manufacturer's clearances from windows, doors and vents plus any local setback and noise rules.
