Moline Homeowner

"As a small business owner in Moline, I can't afford to lose power for even a few hours. Express Home Services installed a commercial generator that has saved us multiple times during outages. Their 24/7 emergency service is exceptional - during a winter storm outage, they had a technician at our location within an hour to fix a minor issue. Highly recommend their maintenance program too!"

"We had an aging generator that was becoming unreliable, and Express Home Services helped us upgrade to a new, more efficient model. The difference is remarkable - it's quieter, uses less fuel, and powers more of our home. The installation team was professional, neat, and thorough in explaining how to operate the new system. We're extremely satisfied with the service and value provided."

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about backup generators in Moline

How much does a whole-house generator cost in Moline?

The cost of a whole-house generator in Moline typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000 installed, depending on the size of your home, the generator capacity needed, and installation complexity. Factors that affect pricing include the unit size (typically 12kW to 22kW for average homes), fuel type (natural gas, liquid propane, or diesel), and any additional electrical work required. We provide free consultations to determine the appropriate system for your specific needs and budget.

How long does generator installation take?

A standard residential generator installation in Moline typically takes 1-2 days for the physical installation. However, the complete process, including permitting, electrical work, and final inspections, usually takes 2-3 weeks from contract signing to completion. Commercial installations may take longer depending on the system complexity. We coordinate all aspects of the installation process, including permits, inspections, and utility company requirements, to ensure a smooth and efficient installation.

What maintenance does a backup generator require?

Backup generators require regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation. This typically includes annual oil changes, filter replacements, spark plug inspection, battery testing, and a full system check. For standby generators, we recommend bi-annual maintenance visits. Our maintenance plans include all necessary service, priority scheduling, and discounts on parts and repairs. Regular maintenance extends the life of your generator and ensures it will work properly during power outages.

What size generator do I need for my Moline home?

The right generator size depends on your power requirements. For essential circuits (lights, refrigerator, furnace), a 7-10kW generator may be sufficient. For whole-house power in an average Moline home (1,500-3,000 sq ft), a 16-22kW unit is typically recommended. Larger homes or those with special equipment may require 25-48kW systems. Our technicians perform a detailed load analysis to determine your exact needs, ensuring you get adequate power without overspending on unnecessary capacity.

Are permits required for generator installation in Moline?

Yes, permits are required for generator installations in Moline. Typically, both electrical and mechanical permits are needed, and in some cases, a fuel gas permit may also be required. As part of our service, we handle all permitting requirements, including application submission, documentation, and coordination with local inspectors. We're fully familiar with Moline's specific code requirements and ensure all installations meet or exceed local regulations.

How quickly can you respond to generator emergencies in Moline?

For emergency generator service in Moline, our typical response time is within 2-4 hours, depending on current service volume and weather conditions. Maintenance plan customers receive priority service with expedited response times. Our emergency service team is available 24/7, including weekends and holidays, to ensure your generator is operational when you need it most. We maintain a well-stocked inventory of common parts to facilitate rapid repairs.
