Why Florida homes need standby power
Hurricane season and severe storms can knock out power for hours or days across the Treasure Coast. Without backup power, a home loses air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, and the ability to charge phones and run essential equipment.
A standby generator starts automatically when utility power fails, so your home stays powered without you having to do anything. It is a practical safeguard for any household that wants to be ready for the next storm-related outage.
How a standby generator works
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected to your electrical system through an automatic transfer switch. When the switch senses a utility outage, it starts the generator and shifts your home's circuits to generator power — all within seconds and without any manual steps.
Standby units run on natural gas or propane, so there is no need to refuel during an outage. The system can be set up to power essential circuits — such as cooling, refrigeration, lighting, and outlets — or the whole home, depending on the unit and your needs.
Generac standby generators
We install Generac standby generators, a widely used residential standby brand here in Florida. Generac units are designed for automatic operation during outages and are a common choice for Treasure Coast homes preparing for storm season.
During your free on-site estimate, we'll discuss which Generac model fits your home's electrical needs and your budget, and answer your questions about the installation process.
Free on-site estimates
Every home's electrical setup is different, so we start with a free on-site estimate. A licensed electrician will review your panel, your power needs, and the best placement for the unit, then provide a clear written quote.

Automatic Transfer Switches
The transfer switch is the brain of your standby generator system. It detects when utility power fails, starts your generator automatically, and switches your home over to generator power — then switches you back when FPL restores power. Larger homes or properties with complex loads may use multiple transfer switches to prioritize essentials like air conditioning, refrigeration, and medical equipment. We size and install the right transfer switch configuration for your home, fully permitted and inspected.
