The power goes. Your house doesn’t notice.

Standby generators and storm-ready electrical work for Tampa Bay. Sized to what you actually need to run, installed in spring, and serviced before every season.

Florida Certified Electrical Contractor EC13009471 · Florida law requires it on every advertisement, so it’s here on the first screen.

The season

Install in March. Not in September.

After a named storm hits the Gulf, every generator installer in Florida is booked for months and permits back up. A generator installed in the spring is tested, serviced and waiting.

How long will it run?

Propane, by the day.

Natural gas runs as long as the utility keeps supplying it. Propane runs as long as your tank lasts. Here’s a rough idea, at about half load, which is typical for a house with the AC cycling.

Generator size
Propane tank
Load
Estimated run time
6.5 days

On a 500-gallon tank filled to 80%, running 24 hours a day.

Tanks are filled to about 80% of capacity. Burn rates vary by model and temperature; your quote uses the manufacturer’s figures for the unit you choose.

Three sizes, honestly

Run what matters. Or run it all.

Essentials

About 14 kW

Fridge, freezer, lights, fans, Wi-Fi, a window or mini-split AC, the well or sewer pump. The house is livable.

from $9,800

Most of it

22–24 kW

from $13,400

All of it

26 kW +

Whole house, two AC systems, pool pump. With load management on the biggest loads so the generator isn’t oversized.

What customers said after.

★★★★★
Power was out for six days in our neighborhood. Our generator came on in ten seconds and the AC never stopped. Marcus had serviced it in May.
Linda & Ray C. · Seminole Heights
★★★★★
They talked us down from a 26 kW to a 22 with load management on the pool pump. Saved a few thousand and it runs everything we care about.
Dev P. · Westchase
★★★★★
We couldn’t afford a standby unit. They put in an interlock kit for our portable for under a thousand and showed us how to use it safely.
