Stand By Generator installation.
We're getting a stand by generator installed and the contractor wanted one
half of his money up front.Is that customary?Should we offer him a smaller
percentage down and if so, what is appropriate? Also, the electrician
said that we would have to get the pad installed separately.Is that
standard in this kind of thing?How much should we budget for a pad?Is it
something l can do myself?Also, can crushed rock be used instead of
concrete?
that is customary around here anyways. An electrician and i
installed one 2 months ago.the 50% is probably just to cover the unit.weve
been doing bussiness with our supplier for years and thats something they
dont like financing for long.
I would put it on a pad,and thats not hard to do,a couple stakes an
2x6s,and concrete.the info with the unit will give specs for that.
crushed rock yes but under the pad
It depends on how heavy the generator is. There are one piece
'pads' you can buy, & put on top of crushed rock.
The normal pay for any work is 1/3 down, 1/3 mid-way, 1/3 after
satisfactory completion of work.
You don't want to pay an electrician to put in the base. Make sure permits are pulled prior to the job, I would also talk to ur fire marshal, & show him where you want to place it. If he has a problem with it, he won't sign-off on the fuel connection. He could make you move it, & that would suck!
If they have a boss you should speak with them and know the
law.
Money talks so..It can work for you or against you.
