Questions homeowners ask
Does RG Holdings sell or install generators?
No. RG Holdings operates this referral service and does not perform, sell or install anything. The contractor you choose provides its own proposal, contract and installation services.
How much will my standby generator project cost?
Cost varies; get several quotes. Ask for matching scopes covering equipment, transfer controls, electrical work, fuel work, foundation, permitting responsibilities and restoration.
Do you have a local median installation cost?
No usable valuation figures are available in the supplied Hillsborough County permit dataset. Permit values are declared values, not price quotes, and cannot substitute for a property-specific proposal.
What do the local permit figures represent?
Hillsborough County permit records report 706 generator permits and 84 distinct contractors during the reporting period. These counts describe recorded activity, not verified completed projects, recommendations or ratings.
Will a standby generator run everything in my home?
That depends on the designed capacity, household loads and any load management. Ask the contractor to specify which appliances can run together and which may be limited.
Should I choose natural gas or propane?
Ask contractors to assess actual natural gas service availability and the feasibility of propane storage at your property. Compare the proposed fuel infrastructure, operating needs and maintenance requirements.
Where should I check permit requirements?
Start with the [Hillsborough County generator checklist](https://hcfl.gov/businesses/hillsgovhub/residential-and-mobile-home-checklists/residential-backup-generators-requirements). Have the contractor confirm the correct permitting authority and current requirements for your parcel.
Who provides warranties and service?
Ask the contractor for the manufacturer's warranty, any contractor warranty and service terms in writing. RG Holdings provides referrals and does not provide equipment or installation warranties.
