Why Is A Whole Home Generator Beneficial?
Whole home backup generators can not only keep you comfortable in the cold winter months or the hot summer months, they can save you a lot of money by keeping your home powered. Below are some key benefits of a whole home generator:
- The generator is hard-wired to your electrical panel so when the power goes out, your generator turns on automatically. That way, even if you’re not home, you know your home has power.
- Depending on the size of your home and the generator you choose, the backup generator can power your entire home including your furnace, air conditioner, well pump (if applicable) and your refrigerator. This saves you from having to replace all of your food in the event your power goes out.
- Our whole home generators are fueled directly by your gas line so you never have to worry about running out of gas.
- Many homes have a sump pump or other device to help keep the basement from flooding and by having a whole home generator installed you have the peace of mind knowing that your basement will be protected by your sump pump, even if the power is out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Whole Home Generator & How Does it Work?
A whole home standby generator is a permanently installed backup power system that automatically restores electricity to your home within seconds of a power outage, without any action needed on your part. It is hard-wired directly to your home’s electrical panel and connected to your natural gas line, so it runs on the same gas supply as your furnace and water heater with no fuel tanks to fill or manage.
When the system detects a loss of grid power, it starts automatically and begins powering your home’s circuits within moments. When utility power is restored, the generator shuts itself off and returns to standby mode. Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning carries Generac and Honeywell whole home generators and can install them for Jackson County and surrounding area homeowners.
Why Should I Invest in a Whole Home Generator?
Homeowners in the Jackson area deal with unpredictable Michigan weather year-round, from severe winter ice storms that knock out power for days to summer thunderstorms that take down lines without warning. A whole home generator eliminates the real consequences of those outages: a furnace that can’t run in January, a sump pump that goes offline during a spring flood, food lost in a refrigerator, and medical equipment losing power.
Unlike a portable generator that requires manual setup and carries carbon monoxide risks, a whole home standby generator operates automatically, runs on your existing natural gas line, and can power your entire home indefinitely. It also adds measurable value to your property. For Michigan homeowners on a well pump or with a finished basement, the investment in a generator often pays for itself in just one major outage event.

How Much Does a Whole Home Generator Cost?
The cost of a whole home generator installation varies based on the size of the unit and the complexity of the installation.
Smaller 10 to 14 kilowatt systems for powering essential home systems typically start in the $4,000 to $6,500 range installed.
Mid-size 16 to 20 kilowatt units that can handle a full home including central air generally run from $6,000 to $9,000 installed.
Larger 22 kilowatt and above systems for bigger homes or those wanting full whole-home coverage typically range from $8,500 to $12,000 or more depending on the specific unit and installation requirements.
Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning provides free estimates on all generator installations and offers flexible financing options – including 0% interest for up to 12 months, subject to credit approval.
How Long Can a Home Generator Run?
A natural gas standby generator connected directly to your home’s gas line can run continuously for as long as needed since it draws from the utility’s supply rather than a finite tank.
This makes natural gas generators the preferred choice in the Jackson area where extended power outages during winter storms can last multiple days. The generator is designed to run for the full duration of an outage without interruption.
Propane-powered generators can also run for extended periods but require a large enough tank to cover a multi-day outage and may need refilling if the outage is prolonged. For most Jackson area homeowners with natural gas service, fuel supply is simply not a concern.
How Often Does a Whole Home Generator Need Maintenance?
Whole home standby generators should be professionally serviced once a year to keep them ready to perform when needed.
Annual maintenance includes checking and replacing the oil and oil filter, inspecting and replacing spark plugs as needed, testing the battery, checking the air filter, inspecting all connections and fuel lines, and running a full load test to verify the system starts and transfers power correctly.
Most generators also run a brief automatic self-test weekly on their own, but that does not replace the annual professional service.
What is Included in a Whole Home Generator Installation?
Aspen One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning handles the complete generator installation from start to finish. This includes delivering and placing the generator on a concrete pad outside the home, making all gas line connections to your home’s existing supply, handling the full electrical hook-up to your home’s panel including the automatic transfer switch that manages the transition between grid and generator power, and testing the full system before the team leaves.
All new generators installed by us come with an exclusive 5-year extended warranty, which is beyond what most competitors offer. Generators are kept in stock and next-day installation is available for Jackson County and surrounding area homeowners.
