Florida Keys Roots
Hurricane-Ready Installs
We know the floodplain elevation rules, wind-zone fastening specs, and Monroe County submittal quirks that catch out-of-area installers.
Based in the Keys, on Staff
Our team of 55 electricians is based in the Florida Keys, with offices in Key West and Naples. Since 2009 we've installed standby generators across the Lower, Middle, and Upper Keys — from Stock Island up through Marathon, Islamorada, and Key Largo — with same-week site visits on most of the island chain.
Shaped by Irma
Hurricane Irma made landfall at Cudjoe Key as a Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, and that storm shapes how we mount and elevate every install since. Outages during hurricane events can last a week or longer in remote areas, which is exactly what standby power is for.

Generator Installation FAQs
Generac Questions for the Keys
- How much does it cost to install a Generac generator in the Florida Keys?
- Cost depends on four variables: generator size, fuel source, transfer-switch scope, and site prep. Propane requires a tank install or coordination with your supplier; natural gas needs a line tap. Hurricane mounting (elevated platform vs. slab) and permit fees add to the total. We provide a detailed quote after a site visit so you see the line items.
- Do you offer free estimates? Are your prices flat-rate?
- We offer free on-site estimates. Pricing is custom based on your property's load, fuel source, and mounting requirements. Every quote includes permit fees, transfer switch, fuel-line coordination, and commissioning — no hidden fees, no upcharges after the contract is signed.
- What if I'm just outside your listed service areas?
- We cover the entire island chain from Key Largo to Key West, plus Southwest Florida from Marco Island to Fort Myers. If you're between those zones or unsure, contact us and we'll confirm coverage. If your property falls outside our route, we'll recommend a Generac dealer who can help.
- Do I need a permit for a standby generator in Key West or Monroe County?
- Yes, both Key West and Monroe County require permits for standby generator installation. We prepare site plans, floodplain elevation details, and the load calc, then handle submittal and inspection scheduling. Most permits issue within 5 business days when the package is complete.
- What payment options do you accept?
- We accept check, credit card, and bank transfer. The standard structure is a deposit at contract, a progress payment at install, and the balance at commissioning. Terms can flex on commercial scope.
- What warranty covers a new Generac install?
- As a Generac Authorized Dealer, we register every install for the Generac factory warranty, which covers major components per Generac's published terms. Coverage depends on the model and whether annual maintenance is kept current. We provide warranty registration paperwork at install so you have the full terms in writing.
- How do I get started?
- Call (305) 292-3369 or use our contact form to request a site visit. We'll schedule the assessment, walk your property, review fuel and load options, and send a quote. Most consultations happen within the week.
