Question: Is the cost of delivery typically included in the cost of generator installation?
Top Answer (42% of 26 votes): Always.

Answer: Sometimes
Explanation: Delivery costs for standby generators are sometimes included in the installation price, but it varies by contractor, generator size, and distance. Many installers bundle delivery into a turnkey installation, while others list it as a separate line item because generators are heavy, require special equipment, and may need coordinated freight handling. Factors that affect whether delivery is included Generator size and weight — larger liquid-cooled units often require freight or lift-gate service. Distance from supplier or warehouse — long-distance or rural deliveries may add fees. Contractor pricing structure — some offer all-inclusive packages, others itemize. Access conditions at the property — difficult terrain or crane placement may add costs. Brand and distributor policies — some brands include local delivery in their dealer programs. Most Sacramento-area installers (including your EcoWise workflow) treat delivery as included for standard residential units but separate for commercial or oversized generators.
