Whole-Home Generators in West Palm Beach, FL

Hurricane season is a fact of life in West Palm Beach. When the grid goes down — for hours or for days — a standby generator starts automatically, powers your home, and shuts itself off when utility power returns. No extension cords, no refueling in the rain, no deciding what stays on.

We size generators to your home, handle the panel and transfer equipment, pull the permits, and service what we install. One company, one project.

What a Standby Generator Does

A standby generator sits outside your home on a pad, wired into your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch. When it senses a utility outage, it starts itself — usually within seconds — and takes over powering the house. When the grid returns, it transfers back and shuts down.

It runs on natural gas or propane, so there is no refueling during the outage. Weekly self-tests keep it ready, and it alerts you if something needs attention.

Sizing: Whole House or Essentials

Generator sizing starts with what you need powered: the AC system is the big question in Florida — a whole-home unit big enough for central air costs more than one sized for essentials like refrigeration, lights, fans, and device charging.

We do a load calculation and walk you through both options with real numbers. There is no wrong answer; there is the answer that fits your budget and your priorities during an outage. What matters is that the generator is sized to what it will actually carry — undersized units trip offline when you need them most.

The Electrical Work Is the Project

The generator itself is half the job. The other half is electrical: the automatic transfer switch, the panel connections, the gas piping coordination, and the load management that keeps the generator from overloading.

Because our electrical division does this work every day, the whole project stays in-house — no coordinating between a generator company and an electrician who have never met. Permits are pulled where required, and the installation is inspected.

Placement, Noise, and Neighbors

Generators have placement rules: setbacks from the house, from windows and doors, and from property lines, plus noise considerations for you and the neighbors. In gated west-side communities, the HOA may have additional requirements on placement and screening.

We handle the placement planning, the pad, and the HOA documentation where needed. Modern standby units are far quieter than the portable generators most people picture — about as loud as a central AC running.

Maintenance Keeps It Ready

A generator that sits for eleven months needs to start on the first try in month twelve. Weekly self-tests exercise the engine, but annual maintenance — oil, filters, battery, transfer switch test — is what keeps it reliable.

We service the generators we install. Ask about maintenance when we quote; it is the difference between a plan and a hope.
