It's possible. For example, your electrical or gas service may require upgrades to meet current codes. That could involve updating your electrical panel or gas regulator. Also, depending upon the generator model you choose, a cement foundation may be required, which would affect the cost of installation. Your Lennox dealer will discuss all applicable costs before you agree to a final installation charge.
