Electricians for generators and transfer switches.
Fort Collins Utilities reports that its customers, on average, will see a 76-minute outage once every 7.7 years, and the system-wide average outage for June 2025 to June 2026 was 9.8 minutes. That is a short and infrequent record, so a standby generator here is less about frequent blackouts and more about being ready for the rare long one. Before you hire, know what the City asks for. Its building permits page lists an Electric Permit Application, and a Homeowner Affidavit goes with it if a homeowner is doing the work. The City's contractor licensing page also says a Master Electrician registers with the City by completing the Master License Registration packet. So ask any installer whether they hold that registration, who will apply for the electric permit, and how the transfer switch connection will be covered in the permit. Get those answers in writing with your quote.

A generator wired into your home needs an approved transfer switch, fitted under a permit, so it can’t feed power back into the lines. Plan it before you buy.
Get written quotes from at least three contractors for the same work, and check references from recent clients.
Put it in a written contract: the work, price, deposit, start and finish dates, warranty, permits and clean-up. Paying cash to skip it leaves you no recourse.
The City's contractor licensing page says a Master Electrician registers with the City by completing the Master License Registration packet. Ask the installer to confirm that registration is in place before work begins, and to show it to you. A homeowner doing their own work follows a separate route with an affidavit.

Ask for the generator and transfer switch models, what the installation covers, who pulls the permit, the schedule, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled. Written details make it easier to compare quotes side by side and to see what each one leaves out.
