Generator Installation in Lake Park, FL

When the power goes out in a Florida storm, a properly installed standby generator keeps your lights, your air conditioning, and your refrigerator running without anyone touching a thing. We size, install, and wire whole home and standby generators with automatic transfer.

What Is Included

  • Whole home and standby generator installation
  • Automatic transfer switches
  • Natural gas and propane fuel setups
  • Sizing based on the loads you want covered
  • Permits and inspection coordination

Sizing comes first on every generator job: the unit is chosen from the loads you want covered, never sold off a shelf and justified later.

Be Ready Before the Next Storm

Outages in Palm Beach County do not ask permission. A standby generator sits outside your home, watches the utility power, and starts itself seconds after the power fails, carrying the house on natural gas or propane for as long as the outage lasts. No rolling a portable unit out in the rain, no gasoline cans, no extension cords through a cracked door.

Sized to Your Home, Not a Guess

The sizing conversation decides everything: the whole house, or a chosen list of essentials like air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, and medical equipment. We add up your loads with you, set the transfer equipment to match, and handle the permits, so the system that starts on the worst night of the year is the system you actually planned.

Good Questions

Questions We Hear

Should I choose a standby generator or a portable one?

A standby generator is permanently installed, starts itself when the power fails, and runs on natural gas or propane, so it can carry your home for days without refueling runs. A portable unit costs less up front but has to be rolled out, fueled, and connected by hand in the middle of a storm. Most of our customers who have lived through a long outage choose standby.

How is a generator sized for my home?

We add up the loads you want covered, from the full house down to a short list of essentials like air conditioning, refrigeration, lights, and medical equipment. Sizing is the step that decides whether the system feels seamless or struggles, so we do the math with you before recommending a unit, never after.

What fuel does a standby generator use?

Most standby units run on natural gas where a gas line is available, or on propane from a tank where it is not. Both feed the generator automatically, which is the point: no gasoline cans, no stale fuel, and no refills in the middle of a storm while the system is carrying your home.

When should I install, before or during storm season?

Before. Permits, the pad, gas work, and the transfer switch all take scheduling, and installers book out fast once the first storm warning posts. Getting the system in during a quiet month means it is tested and ready the day the weather turns, not sitting on a waiting list.
