Generator Installation in
Murfreesboro, TN
Never lose power again during Tennessee storms. Murfreesboro Pro Electric is an authorized Generac dealer and installer providing whole-home standby generator solutions throughout Rutherford County.
Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation
Tennessee storms can knock out power for hours or even days. A whole-home standby generator automatically kicks on within seconds of a power outage — protecting your food, HVAC system, medical equipment, sump pump, and peace of mind. Murfreesboro Pro Electric installs Generac, Briggs & Stratton, and Kohler whole-home generators throughout Murfreesboro and Rutherford County.
Unlike portable generators that require manual setup, fuel storage, and extension cords, a permanently installed standby generator is always ready — running on your existing natural gas or propane line with no effort on your part.

Standby vs. Portable Generator — What's the Difference?
Standby generators are permanently installed outside your home, connected to your electrical panel via an automatic transfer switch (ATS), and run on natural gas or propane. They start automatically within 30 seconds of a power outage. No manual setup, no extension cords, no gas cans.
Portable generators must be manually rolled out, fueled, started, and connected via extension cords or a manual transfer switch. They cannot be operated in an enclosed space due to carbon monoxide risk and are limited in total wattage.
For Murfreesboro homeowners who want reliable, hands-free backup power, a standby generator is the clear choice.

Generator Installation FAQ
How long does generator installation take?
Most residential standby generator installations in Murfreesboro are completed in one to two days. This includes pad preparation, generator placement, transfer switch installation, fuel line coordination, wiring, load testing, and a full client walkthrough.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Murfreesboro, TN?
Yes — electrical and gas permits are required for standby generator installation in Murfreesboro and throughout Rutherford County. Murfreesboro Pro Electric handles all permit applications and coordinates the final city/county inspection so you don't have to worry about it.
Can I use natural gas for my generator?
If your home has a natural gas line (common in Murfreesboro), this is the preferred fuel source — no tank, no refueling, and essentially unlimited runtime during an outage. If you're on propane, we can install a properly sized tank and connect it to your generator. We coordinate gas line work with licensed plumbers.
What maintenance does a standby generator need?
Standby generators perform a weekly self-test automatically. Annual professional maintenance (oil change, spark plugs, filter, battery check) is recommended — typically once per year or every 200 hours of runtime. Generac offers service plans, and we also provide maintenance service for installed units.
