Generator Installation in Baton Rouge, LA | Southern Air FAQs​

Most whole-home generator installations in Baton Rouge typically take one to two days to complete, depending on the complexity of your home’s electrical system and the size of the generator being installed. The process involves preparing the installation site, setting up a concrete pad or platform, running gas and electrical lines, connecting the transfer switch, and thoroughly testing the system. Our Southern Air technicians will provide you with a more precise timeline after evaluating your specific property and electrical needs during the initial consultation.
The right generator size depends on your home’s square footage and which appliances you want to power during an outage. A typical Baton Rouge home may need anywhere from 10kW to 24kW or more. Smaller generators around 10-12kW can power essential circuits like refrigerators, some lights, and a few outlets. Mid-sized units of 16-20kW can handle more appliances including your HVAC system. Larger homes or those wanting to power everything simultaneously may need 22kW or higher. Our Southern Air technicians will perform a load calculation based on your specific needs to recommend the perfect size generator for your home.
Whole-home generators in Baton Rouge typically run on either natural gas or liquid propane. Natural gas generators connect directly to your existing gas line, providing an unlimited fuel supply as long as the gas grid is operational. Propane generators require an on-site propane tank but can be advantageous if natural gas isn’t available at your property or if you want independence from the gas grid. Both fuel types offer reliable performance during Louisiana’s storm season. Our Southern Air team will help you determine which fuel source works best for your property and budget.
The total cost of generator installation in Baton Rouge varies based on several factors including the generator size, fuel type, installation complexity, and your home’s existing electrical setup. Generally, homeowners can expect to invest between several thousand dollars for a smaller system up to significantly more for larger, whole-home units with professional installation. This includes the generator unit itself, transfer switch, installation labor, electrical work, gas line connection, concrete pad, and permits. Southern Air provides free consultations and detailed estimates so you’ll know exactly what to expect before making your investment in backup power protection.
Yes, whole-home generators require regular maintenance to ensure they operate reliably when you need them most. We recommend annual professional maintenance, which includes changing the oil and filters, inspecting the battery, checking fluid levels, testing the transfer switch, and running the system under load. Many generators also self-test weekly by running for a short period, but this doesn’t replace professional servicing. Regular maintenance is especially important in Baton Rouge’s humid climate to prevent corrosion and ensure your generator starts immediately during hurricane season. Southern Air offers comprehensive maintenance plans to keep your generator in peak condition year-round.
