Generator Installation for Laramie and Albany County Properties
Laramie averages 91 inches of snow annually and sits on the high plains at 7,200 feet, where winter storms can knock out Rocky Mountain Power for hours or days. A standby generator starts automatically when the grid fails, keeping heating systems, sump pumps, refrigeration, and medical equipment running without any action from the homeowner.
Moonlight Electric handles the complete generator installation scope: load calculation to size the unit correctly, natural gas or propane connection coordination, automatic transfer switch installation, permit from Albany County, and inspection. We install Generac, Kohler, and other major brands. Call (307) 757-5553 or contact us. See our backup generators service page and gallery.
What Goes Into a Laramie Generator Installation
Load Calculation and Sizing
We calculate which circuits need backup power and size the generator to handle that load. Oversizing wastes money on fuel and maintenance. Undersizing leaves critical circuits unprotected.
Automatic Transfer Switch
The ATS detects a grid outage and starts the generator within seconds. No manual switching. Power is restored to the protected circuits automatically and transfers back when the grid returns.
Fuel and Electrical Hookup
We coordinate natural gas or propane connection with the fuel contractor and complete all electrical connections including the transfer switch, subpanel, and generator wiring to code.

Laramie Backup Generator FAQ
How big of a generator do I need for a Laramie home?
Depends on which circuits you want protected. A 10kW unit covers essential circuits (heating, refrigeration, lights, outlets). A 20kW unit covers most of the home. A 22kW to 26kW covers virtually everything. We do a load calculation before recommending a size.
What does a standby generator installation cost in Laramie?
Typical whole-home standby generator installation in Laramie runs $5,000 to $12,000 depending on the generator size, transfer switch type, and electrical scope. We provide written quotes before any work starts. Call (307) 757-5553.
Do you pull the Albany County permit for generator installs?
Yes. Generator installations require a permit and inspection in Albany County. We handle the permit and schedule the inspection. Unpermitted generator installs can void homeowner insurance coverage during a claim.
How long does a generator installation take?
Most residential standby generator installations complete in one to two days depending on the scope. Fuel line work by the gas contractor may add time. We coordinate the full schedule before starting.
What brands of generators do you install?
Generac, Kohler, Cummins, and other major standby generator brands. We are familiar with the installation requirements for each and can advise on which performs best in Wyoming winters. Call (307) 757-5553 or contact us.
