Standby Generators vs. Portable: Which Is Right for You?

Portable generators are affordable ($500-$2,000) and useful for basic power during short outages, but they require manual setup, outdoor placement, fuel management, and careful carbon monoxide precautions. They typically power only a few circuits at a time. Standby generators ($5,000-$15,000 installed) are permanently mounted, fuel-connected, and activate automatically within seconds of an outage — powering your entire home or critical circuits without any action on your part.

  • Standby generators activate automatically within 10-30 seconds
  • No manual setup, fueling, or extension cords required
  • Natural gas or propane — no gasoline storage needed
  • Powers whole home or pre-selected critical circuits
  • Runs for days or weeks during extended outages
  • Professional installation with proper transfer switch
  • Portable generators best for occasional, short-term backup
  • We install both — and help you choose the right option

What Size Generator Does Your South Florida Home Need?

Proper sizing is critical. An undersized generator won't run your AC (the most important load in South Florida), while an oversized unit wastes fuel and money. We perform a detailed load calculation based on your specific appliances and circuits to recommend the right size.

  • Essential circuits only (fridge, lights, outlets): 7.5-10 kW
  • Essential + one AC zone: 14-16 kW
  • Whole-home with central AC: 20-24 kW
  • Large home with multiple AC zones: 30-48 kW
  • Central AC is the largest single load (3,500-5,000 watts startup)
  • Pool pumps, well pumps, and EV chargers add significant load
  • We calculate exact requirements — no guesswork
  • Free load calculation included with every estimate

Generator Installation Questions

A fully installed standby generator in South Florida typically runs $5,000 to $15,000 depending on size (kW), brand, and installation complexity. This includes the generator, automatic transfer switch, electrical connections, pad, and all permits.
With a natural gas connection, a standby generator can run indefinitely — as long as the gas supply is maintained. Propane units run until the tank is depleted, typically 1-2 weeks on a standard 500-gallon tank depending on load.
Yes. Generator installations require electrical and sometimes mechanical permits. We handle all permitting and inspections as part of every installation.
Yes, but you need the right size. A typical 3-ton central AC requires about 14-16 kW to start. We size generators specifically to handle your AC along with other essential loads.
Most manufacturers recommend annual professional maintenance and bi-weekly automatic exercise runs (which the generator performs on its own). We can set up a maintenance schedule for you.
