Whether you’re installing a new standby generator or upgrading an existing system, our licensed electricians ensure everything is installed safely, correctly, and to code.

What Is a Whole‑Home Generator?

A whole‑home generator (also called a standby generator) is a permanently installed backup power system that:

  • Automatically turns on during a power outage
  • Powers your entire home or selected circuits
  • Runs on natural gas or propane
  • Provides uninterrupted power for days or weeks
  • Protects your home from storm‑related outages

Whole‑home generators are the gold standard for backup power in Florida.
