How installers are listed here

The only requirement to appear on this page is a checked state electrical license, confirmed against the state licensing board as part of our approval process, that's why every listing above shows "License checked." Installers are listed alphabetically by default, not ranked by quality, and no installer pays for placement in that order. LumoWatt does not sell ranking. If paid placement is introduced, it will be clearly labeled and will not change the standard list order. Use the sort dropdown above to re-order the list yourself by years in business or how recently we checked a listing. See our editorial policy and listing standards & verification methodology for the full details.

Outage risk in Idaho

Idaho's outage risk in the Treasure Valley (Boise, Meridian) is driven by summer wildfire-related PSPS-style shutoffs, high-wind events, and winter ice storms, while the Coeur d'Alene and North Idaho panhandle region faces a notably different climate profile with heavier winter snow loads, ice storms off nearby lakes, and wind-driven timber falls onto power lines through dense forested terrain.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to install a generator in Boise?
City of Boise Planning and Development Services issues electrical permits for standby generator installations within city limits.
How much does generator installation cost in Boise?
Most whole-home standby installations in Boise run $7,100-$15,200 all-in, including the unit, labor, and permit fees. Get quotes from at least 2-3 license-checked local installers below for an accurate number for your home.
How long does installation take in Boise?
The installation itself typically takes 1-2 days once a permit is approved and equipment is on-site, that part doesn't vary much by location. The variable is permit review time: it depends on your local building department's current workload, not on the installer, and can range from about a week to well over a month. Ask your installer for a current estimate, or contact Boise's permitting office directly (see the permit section above) for the timeline you should actually expect.
