How Shipping and Installation Affect the Price of a Backup Power System
The cost to set up your system might be a little different depending on which one you bought. After choosing, you can either set it up yourself or hire someone to help, depending on what your system needs.

Shipping and installation are two different but essential costs to consider when planning your emergency backup power budget.
As our systems get more expensive, they also get bigger. Since shipping rates are usually based on weight, the price of the system and the cost of shipping are often connected. (For example, the more expensive the system, the more it will cost to ship)
Installation costs for a battery generator vary. Determined by the system you have bought; each has unique traits that affect how they’re shipped and installed. Below is a quick rundown on what you can expect during the shipping and handling process for each kind of Medi-Products system.
Mobile System Install Costs
Mobile systems are the easiest to “install.” Your mobile system arrives pre-assembled and ready to use immediately after it is removed from the pallet. If your facility has the necessary labor, you won’t need to budget for additional installation costs.
However, because the pre-assembled system will be quite heavy, we recommend that multiple people assist in removing it from the pallet to prevent any damage to the system or injury.
To simplify this process, Medi Products offers premium white glove and van line shipping options. These services eliminate the need for pallet shipping. Instead, professional movers will handle and deliver the system directly into your facility.
Both options provide a convenient, worry-free way to receive your shipment and ensure a smooth setup.
Standalone System Install Costs
Standalone systems offer facilities ultimate flexibility. They require no building permits, special tools, or professional installers to complete the installation process. As long as it is in the same room as the appliance needing power, mounting options are only limited by creativity.
If you choose to install the system with an existing staff member instead of contracting the workout, the only cost is the facility manager's or other staff member’s time—1 to 2 hours.
Hardwire System Install Costs
Hardwire systems are ideal for remodeling or new construction projects. These units require a building permit to be issued for their installation. This is because they’re integrated directly into a facility's electrical circuit and provide power directly to wall outlets. As a result, a licensed electrician will also be needed to complete the installation.
While the hardwire installation can be covered by a preexisting permit, we suggest you check with a general contractor or electrician familiar with your local laws and regulations to get an accurate installation and permitting cost quote.
