Standby Generator Installation in New Smyrna Beach, FL
Keep your home powered through the next storm. We connect you with licensed local electricians who install Generac and other whole-home standby generators with automatic transfer switches.
Storm Season Is the Reason
New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, and Port Orange sit squarely in Atlantic hurricane territory. Tropical systems and summer storms knock out power across the mainland and beachside every year, sometimes for days. A standby generator means your AC, refrigerator, well pump, medical equipment, and internet keep running the moment the grid goes down — automatically, whether you’re home or not.
Unlike a portable generator, a standby unit is permanently installed, hardwired through an automatic transfer switch, and fueled by natural gas or a propane tank, so there are no extension cords, no refueling in the storm, and no carbon-monoxide risk from running one in the garage.
What’s Included in a Generator Install
The electrician we connect you with handles the full installation — electrical and permitting.
Build a Storm-Ready Home
A generator is one layer of storm protection. Add whole-home surge protection so the switch-over and lightning don’t fry your electronics, make sure your electrical panel is modern and corrosion-free, and read our New Smyrna Beach power outage guide for what to do when the grid goes down. Already have a generator? We also connect you for generator repair and maintenance.
Generac and Other Trusted Brands
The electricians we connect you with install and service Generac — the most common standby brand in Florida — along with comparable units like Kohler and Cummins. A load calculation sizes the generator to what you actually want to run, from the essentials (AC, fridge, well pump, medical devices) up to the whole house.

Installed whole-home standby generators typically run $6,000 to $15,000+ depending on the size (kW), your home’s load, the transfer switch, and the gas/propane hookup. You get an upfront quote after a load calculation. Call (386) 749-1593.
Yes — demand and lead times spike right before and during storm season, so the best time to install is well ahead of it. Installing early means you’re protected for the first storm of the year instead of waiting weeks for equipment and permits.
Generac is the most common standby brand in Florida, but the electrician we connect you with can install and service Generac and comparable units. The right size and brand depend on your home’s load and fuel source.
Both are options. If your home has natural gas service it’s usually the simplest; otherwise a propane tank is installed. The electrician coordinates the fuel hookup as part of the job.
