Concrete Generator Pads

Stable, level foundations for standby generators. Engineered for vibration dampening and long-term reliability.

Benefits of Concrete Generator Pads

Vibration Dampening

Concrete's mass absorbs generator vibration, reducing noise transmission into your home and preventing damage to gas/electrical connections.

Secure Mounting

J-bolts or anchor sleeves cast into the concrete provide rock-solid attachment. Your generator won't shift during operation or severe weather.

Perfectly Level

Generators require level installation for proper oil distribution and fuel system operation. We laser-level every pad.

Elevation & Protection

Raises the generator above grade to prevent snow burial and flooding. Critical for the unit that protects your home during emergencies.

Code Compliant

Meets manufacturer requirements and local building codes. Many jurisdictions require permanent foundations for standby generators.

25+ Year Lifespan

Outlasts multiple generators. A one-time investment that supports years of reliable backup power.

Generator Pad Questions

Do you install mounting bolts?

Yes, we can set anchor bolt templates or J-bolts in the wet concrete based on your generator's mounting pattern. Provide us with your generator model before installation for precise placement.

How far from my house should the generator be?

Most codes require 18-24" from windows and 5' from any opening. We help select a location meeting codes, allowing service access, and minimizing noise impact.

How much does a generator pad cost?

Generator pads typically cost $600-1,200 for residential units, including excavation, gravel base, forming, anchor bolts, and concrete. Larger commercial pads cost more.
