A standby generator starts automatically within seconds of an outage and keeps your AC, refrigerator, well or pool pumps and medical equipment running. On waterfront and low-lying lots, generators and transfer switches must sit above the flood level the building department requires, and salt air calls for corrosion-resistant enclosures and hardware.
Typical homes we work on in Fort Lauderdale include historic and mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista, waterfront homes along the Las Olas Isles, and condo towers downtown. We size the generator to what you actually want to run — the whole house, or just essential circuits like AC, kitchen, lights and outlets — and pair it with the right automatic transfer switch.
Standby units run on natural gas where available or on propane. Placement must respect setbacks from windows, doors and property lines, and the unit sits on a level pad. Permits in Fort Lauderdale go through the City of Fort Lauderdale's Building Services Division, and we prepare the documents your condo associations and some HOAs usually ask for. Gas connections are completed by a licensed gas or plumbing contractor, coordinated with our work.
If you use a portable generator, a generator interlock or manual transfer switch lets you power selected circuits safely — never backfeed through a dryer outlet. Read our guide: standby vs. portable generators in Florida.

It depends on what you want to run during an outage. We do a load calculation and recommend whole-home or essential-circuit coverage with the matching transfer switch.
The electrical work usually takes one to two days after permits and approvals; ordering the unit and gas work can add time, so plan well before hurricane season.
The permit comes from the City of Fort Lauderdale's Building Services Division. Many properties also need approval from their condo associations and some HOAs.
Yes. We coordinate with building management and associations for access, shutdowns and approvals, and we work inside units as well as on shared equipment when the association authorizes it.
