Xlectrical installs whole-home and essential-circuit standby generators in Boca Raton and West Boca as a licensed Florida electrical contractor (EC 13014052): load calculation, automatic transfer switch, wiring, permit and start-up test.

Yes. A standby generator needs an electrical permit and inspection from the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County, depending on your address. Xlectrical files it and meets the inspector; the licensed gas contractor handles the fuel-line permit.
It depends on the generator size, the transfer switch and how far the unit sits from the panel and the fuel supply. Xlectrical gives you a written price after an on-site estimate — free Monday–Friday, 8am–4pm ($299 outside those hours). Call 754-289-8993.
Country-club communities like Boca West, Woodfield, St. Andrews and Boca Pointe usually specify where a generator can sit, how it's screened and sometimes when it can run its weekly test. We design the placement and screening with those rules in mind before filing.
Fuel availability varies across Boca: some neighborhoods have natural gas, others rely on an underground or above-ground propane tank. East of I-95, older homes may also need panel work before a transfer switch can be connected safely.
Many Boca Raton homes are large and run two or more AC systems, pool pumps and heaters, wine rooms and sometimes an elevator. Covering all of that usually takes a larger air-cooled whole-home generator, and very large estates may need a liquid-cooled unit. If you only want the essentials — AC in the main living area, refrigerator, lights, internet and the garage door — an essential-circuit system is smaller and costs less. We do a load calculation first and show you what each size can run.
East of I-95, neighborhoods like Old Floresta, Boca Square and the streets near the Intracoastal have many older homes, so the panel often needs work before a transfer switch can be connected. Close to the water, salt air and flood zones matter: we use corrosion-resistant equipment and place the generator at the height the permit office requires. West Boca is mostly newer planned communities in unincorporated Palm Beach County, where the HOA or country club usually decides where the generator can sit and how it is screened.
Already have a generator? We also handle generator maintenance and repair in Boca Raton — the best time is before hurricane season starts on June 1.
We confirm whether your address is permitted by the City of Boca Raton or by Palm Beach County, and prepare the drawings your community's architectural committee usually requests.
Every standby generator project is quoted in writing after a site visit and load calculation — compare options in our standby vs. portable generator guide.

In most country-club and HOA communities, yes. We prepare the placement drawing, specs and screening details they typically ask for.
It depends on the neighborhood. The fuel supply (natural gas or a propane tank) is handled by a licensed gas contractor.
Several months. Approvals, permits, equipment lead times and gas work all take time, so starting in winter or early spring is ideal.
It depends on the generator size, whole-home or essential circuits, the transfer switch, the distance to the panel and the gas line. We give you a written price after a free estimate (Mon–Fri, 8am–4pm).
Large homes with several AC systems and pool equipment usually need a larger whole-home unit; an essential-circuit system can be smaller. A load calculation tells us the right size.
The electrical work usually takes one to two days. Community approval, the permit, the equipment order and the gas line take longer, so the whole project often takes several weeks.
Yes. It runs a short self-test every week, and it should get yearly service — oil, filters, battery and a transfer switch test — ideally before June 1.
Yes. We serve Boca Raton and unincorporated West Boca, and we pull permits with the correct office for your address — the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County.
