Frequently Asked Electrical Generator Questions
Do you install whole-home standby generators?
Yes. As a Florida state-certified electrical contractor (License #EC13003980), we install fully integrated whole-home standby generators that automatically detect utility power failure and restore electricity to your home within seconds.
What size generator do I need to power my house during a hurricane?
The required size depends on your home’s total square footage and electrical demands. Our licensed electricians (License #EC13003980) perform comprehensive load calculations to determine whether an essential-circuit system (running refrigeration, medical equipment, and lighting) or a whole-house system (powering central air conditioning, water heaters, and pool pumps) is needed.
Do you handle the necessary permits and HOA approvals for generator installation?
Yes. We pull all necessary electrical and mechanical permits under Florida License #EC13003980 across Lee and Collier counties. We also provide equipment specifications, decibel ratings, and site layout diagrams required for HOA architectural review boards.
Can you install a transfer switch for a portable generator?
Absolutely. We install manual transfer switches and mechanical interlock kits with outdoor power inlet boxes. This allows you to run portable generators safely into your home’s main panel without the risk of back-feeding utility lines.
