Members receive exclusive discounts on whole-home generators.
The Pioneer Electric Home Generator Program is a partnership with Gresco that allows our members to receive a discount on whole-home backup generators.
Members can expect to save 10-15% compared to buying a generator and related equipment from big box stores or other distributors. Installation costs are typically 5-10% lower than those of other providers.

How it works:
Step 1: Members will call 478-315-0817 to request a free site survey. A Gresco team member will schedule a convenient date for the visit.
Step 2: The site survey representative will call the day before and day of your appointment to confirm. The visit usually takes 30–60 minutes and includes evaluating your home’s needs, sizing the generator, selecting a location, and providing a price quote.
Step 3: If financing is needed, Gresco offers five competitive financing plans. The online applications are fast and easy to complete.
Step 4: Once financing is approved or payment is arranged, Gresco will contact the member to schedule installation.
Step 5: The team will complete the job in one day for most homes. Expect a temporary power outage of 4–6 hours. Once installation is complete, your generator will be fully operational.
FAQ's
All Pioneer Electric members are eligible to participate in the generator program and receive discounted rates through this partnership.
While every home is different, members can generally expect to invest between $10,000 and $16,000 for a full-home backup generator system. This includes the generator itself, professional installation, permitting, and coordination of necessary gas work (though Gresco does not provide gas work directly). Final pricing is determined after a free on-site survey to evaluate the specific needs of your home.

Yes, homeowners may purchase equipment directly through Gresco and choose their own installer. However, installation and startup must be completed by a licensed electrician to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
Yes, the generator requires either propane or natural gas. For propane users, a tank size of at least 125 gallons is necessary.
The generator operates at a noise level similar to a lawn mower. It’s best to place it in a location where that level of noise is acceptable—ideally near your gas and electric service to minimize installation costs.
Current lead times are approximately 4 weeks. However, these may increase during storm season due to higher demand.
