Backup power for Plantation hurricane season

A standby generator starts automatically within seconds of an outage and keeps your AC, refrigerator, well or pool pumps and medical equipment running. On larger Plantation Acres lots, generators can sit farther from the house, which means longer feeder runs that must be sized correctly for voltage drop.

Sizing: whole home or essential circuits

Typical homes we work on in Plantation include 1950s–1970s ranch homes in neighborhoods like Jacaranda and Plantation Park, plus large-lot estates in Plantation Acres. 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.

Fuel, placement and permits

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 Plantation go through the City of Plantation Building Department, and we prepare the documents your some HOAs, especially in newer subdivisions usually ask for. Gas connections are completed by a licensed gas or plumbing contractor, coordinated with our work.

Portable generator? Make it safe

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.
