Frequently Asked Questions

What size generator do I need for my Florida home?
Most Florida homes need a 14 kW to 22 kW standby generator for whole-home coverage. A load calculation based on your square footage and essential appliances determines the right size. JEEC Electric performs this assessment at no charge.
How much does standby generator installation cost?
Standby generator installation typically costs $3,000 to $7,000+ for labor and materials, not including the generator unit. Total project cost varies based on generator size, pad work, and gas or propane connections. We provide no-cost estimates.
What brands of generators does JEEC Electric install?
We install and service Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton whole-home standby generators. We can also service units from other manufacturers.
Does a standby generator require a permit in Florida?
Yes. Standby generator installations require both an electrical permit and, if gas-powered, a gas permit. JEEC Electric handles all permits and coordinates the final inspection.
How does an automatic transfer switch work?
The automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors your utility power 24/7. When it detects an outage, it disconnects your home from the grid and connects it to the generator within 10–30 seconds — all automatically.
