Generator Installation You Can Rely On

After Helene and Milton, a lot of Tampa Bay homeowners spent days without power, with no AC, spoiled food, and no way to run a medical device or a sump pump. A properly installed generator turns the next outage into a minor inconvenience instead of a week of misery.

We install automatic whole-home standby generators from Generac, Kohler, and other leading brands, along with the transfer switch that makes them work. If a full standby system is more than you need, we install a generator inlet and interlock so you can safely run a portable generator through your panel, with no extension cords and no dangerous backfeeding. We size the system to your home, pull the permits, and handle the inspection.

What Tampa Bay Customers Say

"I had a damaged electrical pole after Hurricane Milton so I wanted to fix that and upgrade my electrical panel. I also had a very complicated electrical wiring issue where some wires went missing after a demo which caused some outlets and lights to not work. They were able to fix everything and were very thorough, clean, and knowledgeable. Great work!!"

Generator Installation FAQs

What size generator do I need?

It depends on what you want to run. Some homeowners only need the fridge, lights, and a few outlets; others want the whole house, AC included. We do a load assessment of your home and recommend the smallest system that does the job, so you are not paying for capacity you will never use.

Can I just plug my portable generator into an outlet?

No. Backfeeding a generator through an outlet with a homemade cord is dangerous for you and deadly for utility workers on the lines. The safe, legal way is a generator inlet with an interlock or transfer switch at your panel, which is a straightforward install for us.

Do I need a permit to install a generator?

Yes. Standby generators and transfer switches require a permit and inspection everywhere in Tampa Bay. We pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and make sure the install is done right the first time.
