Arlington Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Arlington?
Whole home installs in the Memphis area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Arlington homes land.
Essential circuits (lights, fridge, AC unit)
Most homes under 3,000 sq ft (full house)
Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones
Large homes, home offices, medical equipment
Prices include equipment, in-house installation, transfer switch, permit fees, and our 12-year warranty. Natural gas comes from MLGW where a connection is available; propane is the alternative and adds a tank to the install.
Because GenerX employs all labor in-house, we eliminate the third-party markup that drives up installation costs elsewhere. Our buying volume across the Canter Power network means better equipment pricing than smaller dealers. The result: a higher-quality installation at a more competitive price, not a trade-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arlington Generator Questions, Answered
Who issues generator permits in Arlington?
Both the Town and the county. Building permits go on a Shelby County form to Arlington Town Hall for initial approval, and the Town then submits them to Shelby County for processing. GenerX prepares the application, walks it through both steps and schedules the inspections.
What knocks out power in Arlington?
Wind and ice. The May 2017 windstorm cut power to 188,000 MLGW customers, Ice Storm Landon in 2022 to more than 233,000, and the August 2026 bow echo to more than 140,000.
Is natural gas available at my Arlington address?
Often, yes. MLGW provides natural gas to Arlington residents, along with electricity and drinking water. Where there is no gas main on your street, the generator runs on propane from a tank on your property. Your GenerX Field Engineer confirms which applies during the free estimate.
Will my Arlington HOA allow a whole home generator?
Many HOAs require architectural approval before installation. We prepare the HOA packet for you: the site drawing, the sound sheet and the screening plan, so the board has what it needs to review.
How fast can GenerX reach Arlington for repairs?
Arlington is served from our Memphis facility at 3644 Cherry Rd, about 27 miles away, with parts stocked locally. GenerX offers 24/7 emergency repair, and in a large outage our statewide fleet deploys to the Memphis area.
