Project budget
Installed-cost estimator
Start with equipment price, then add only the installation items that are not already included in a quote or package.
Estimate installed cost →Free planning tools
Put your generator project numbers in one place.
Plan the purchase with transparent inputs: installed project scope, outage loads, placement dimensions and fuel costs. Calculations stay in your browser and are not submitted to us.
Sizing worksheet
Loads and starting surge
Choose the loads you expect to run together, edit the example wattages and record the largest additional startup demand you know.
Build a load worksheet →Placement planning
Site footprint and pad volume
Calculate an installation envelope from the exact model dimensions and clearances in its manual, plus concrete volume from your planned pad dimensions.
Plan the site footprint →Operating budget
Fuel-cost comparison
Compare two scenarios using published fuel consumption for the exact model and load, your fuel prices and estimated annual run hours.
Compare fuel scenarios →Use model-specific information
A planning result is a starting point.
Example appliance values are placeholders. Replace them with equipment nameplate data. Enter clearances and generator dimensions from the exact installation manual, and use manufacturer fuel-consumption data for the load you are comparing. Final generator selection, placement, fuel, electrical and foundation details should be verified by a qualified installer and local authorities.
Next step
Take your planning notes into a real quote.
If you want help finding a local installation or service path, submit the manual matching request. Your information is not sent to a contractor unless you explicitly approve a handoff.
