Standby Generators
Standby Generators in Spokane
When a windstorm drops the grid, a standby generator notices before you do — it starts itself, transfers the house, and keeps the furnace, freezer, and well pump running until the utility catches up. Falco's installs Honeywell standby systems sized for your actual loads.
Sized to Real Loads
From essential circuits to the whole panel — we size the system to what you actually want backed up, and price both paths honestly.
One Crew, Whole Scope
Concrete pad, gas connection, transfer switch, permits — our electricians and gas-certified technicians handle the full scope in-house, no subcontract roulette.
Ready Automatically
The transfer switch senses an outage and moves the house in seconds — and the automatic weekly self-test keeps it ready between storms.
A Real Project, Done In-House
Pad, Gas, Transfer Switch, Permits — One Team
A standby install is a real project — concrete pad, gas connection, transfer switch, permits — and it's exactly the kind of multi-trade work Falco's does in-house: our electricians and gas-certified technicians handle the whole scope without subcontract roulette.
We'll size the system to what you actually want backed up, from essential circuits to the whole panel, and walk you through the automatic weekly self-test that keeps it ready.
What a Standby Install Includes
- Load calculation — essential circuits or whole panel
- Concrete pad and placement per code
- Gas connection by gas-certified technicians
- Automatic transfer switch, wired and tested
- Permits, inspection, and a self-test walkthrough

Standby Generators FAQs
Tap any question to read the answer.
How much does a standby generator cost installed?
Whole-home Honeywell systems typically run about $10,000–$18,000 installed depending on size and gas/electrical routing. Essential-circuits systems cost less — we'll price both.
Generator vs. fireplace for outages?
Different jobs: a gas or wood fireplace keeps you warm; a generator keeps everything running. Plenty of our customers have both — heat that needs no power, plus power for the rest.
How fast does it take over?
Seconds. The transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator, and moves the house automatically — you mostly notice the neighbors' windows are dark.
Does it need maintenance?
An annual service — oil, filter, battery, transfer test — keeps it ready. We service what we install.
