    4 Steps to Install a Generator in Orlando or Central Florida

     Step 1: Choose a Location

    A home consultation with one of our technicians will help you pick a location for the generator. Your generator should be installed in a safe, dry area that is well-ventilated and away from any windows or doors to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the home. It should also be easily accessible for maintenance.

    Step 2: Installation

    Prepare your generator installation site with a sturdy concrete slab or pea gravel to ensure a stable and safe base.

    Step 3: Connecting Fuel and Electrical

    Your generator connects to both fuel and electrical systems to efficiently generate and distribute power during an outage Once the fuel line is connected and the transfer switch is installed next to the main breaker box, your generator will automatically sense power outages and switch over to provide uninterrupted power.

    Step 4: Outage Simulation

    After installing your generator, a technician conducts an outage simulation to ensure everything operates smoothly and reliably.

    Generators Orlando FAQ’s

    You will need to estimate your power needs by reading the label on each appliance you want to power. Each label will tell you how many watts are needed to power that appliance. Add all the watts from each item you want to power. Once you had the total wattages, multiply that by 1.5. That will let you know what size you need. For more information, read our latest article “A Guide to Choosing a Generator For your Home

    A 10000 watt generator will power not only basic essentials, but also larger loads such as a central air conditioning unit. However, if you are wanting to power multiple appliances like coffee makers, toasters and more to addition to the essentials and larger loads, you may want a higher watt generator. A 20,000 watt generator will cover pretty much everything in your home.

    Portable generators are good if you just want to power the essentials such as your refrigerator. These are gas powered and are plugged into your appliances. Standby/Automatic power generators are a good option if you want to power everything in your home. These are powered by natural gas or propane and will automatically turn on. For a detailed comparison, read our latest article “A Guide to Choosing a Generator For your Home”.

    How long a generator last depends on a lot of things such as maintenance, fuel quality and usage. Diesel Generators can last up to 30,000 hours. Portable generators lifespan is usually around 3,000 hours.

    If the generator uses natural gas then it would only last till the line of gas ends. If the generator uses diesel or propane, it depends on the tank size. A fuel tank that is a gallon or two in size will last around eight to ten hours. A 500 gallon tank should be able to last about a week.

    The number one brand for generators is Generac. Generac produces all types of generators, as well as transfer switches. They provide 24/7 customer support to all customers and are committed to sustainability. Here at Palmer Electric, we install Generac generators. Call us today at 407-646-8700 for information on home or commercial generator installation.

    Yes, Palmer Electric installs generator interlock kits and transfer switches to help Florida homeowners stay powered during hurricanes and outages. These devices safely connect your portable or standby generator to your home’s electrical system, allowing you to run essential circuits like refrigerators, lights, and air conditioning without backfeeding the grid.

    Our certified electricians handle the permitting, installation, and testing to ensure your system is safe, code-compliant, and ready when you need it most. If you live in Central Florida, hurricane preparation should include a properly installed interlock or transfer switch for peace of mind and convenience.

    I had an electrical panel replaced. The panel we had was original to the house and it was installed by Palmer Electric in 1967. Everything from the estimate to customer service and installation were all top-notch and professional. Endre and Fritz had an eventful day with a thunderstorm where lightning hit a transformer two streets over. The Duke Energy lineman was called away to deal with that so they stayed past thier normal hours getting as much done as they could without service to the house. Duke was able to return around 2030 to get the service restarted. Hector and Jerry came in the next morning and finished everything up. They moved the sprinkler and pump boxes around so everything fit back in that part of the wall. They plugged any holes that were left and kept the area clean. The mix-up was between the Orange County inspector and Duke, that's what kept the service from being turned on until later in the evening. One thing of note: 59 years of "I know a guy" electrical work may act goofy after professionals come and do an install. Palmer took the time to figure out where these issues were and straighten them out.

    Larry and Carlos are incredibly professional and very thorough. They went above and beyond during their inspection and in making the requested repairs in record time, coming in on a holiday to resolve our emergency issue. In short, they worked magic! Their work was of the highest quality, and we are so thankful!!
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. While we truly appreciate the review, it appears it may have been intended for a different Palmer Electric. We want to make sure the correct company receives your feedback.
    Palmer Electric is hands down the best service company we have ever worked with! I have been blown away with the professionalism, quality, and service provided by Carlos and his team, Larry, and Daniel in the office. I am in the final stages of selling a property and Carlos led his team to do a thorough electrical inspection and fix a list of requests from the buyers. He found many things that the house inspector overlooked, and we were able to take care of many issues to bring the property up to code - safety wise. But what is more impressive, is that Carlos heard arcing from the main panel, realized we had a much bigger issue, communicated all of this quickly! He caught was noone else did and probably saved the property from a much bigger isseu! Larry professionally and immediately facilitated ALL of the behind the scenes maneuvering to get power restored in the same week. I know this was a record timewise, and while it might not be repeatable every time for issues outside their control- Larry took it upon himself to do all that was possible to align the utilities and the city, to make it the shortest possible duration. AND Carlos and his team went so far above and beyond to fix all the issues and restore power correctly. He met with pool technician, solar technician and all worked together to make sure all the systems would be working as needed! They are a top notch operation all around and would highly recommend. We have met many vendors in selling two houses in the Desert this spring and these guys are a standout in EVERY WAY!
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. While we truly appreciate the review, it appears it may have been intended for a different Palmer Electric. We want to make sure the correct company receives your feedback.

    Palmer electric were exceptional jean and Jack did an amazing job they fix everything with care and they clean up after themselves. They explained what was happening to the electric. One thing I was surprised. I never saw black people working for Palmer electric before. Palmer you need to send the black workers out more to neighborhoods that you think that only white people will be accepted. And don't tell me that don't happen in your company. These 2 men are excellent workers. And Palmer electric. They need a raise of pay. Excellent jobs was done today . The job was done at Summit pointe Apartments

Gene And Jack did a fabulous job and even picked up after themselves were very impressed with the small amount of drywall repair that was left even though it was a block home and not easy to rewire. I would highly recommend Palmer Electric and their team.

    Techs Joe and Anthony were wonderful. They replaced my damaged outlet and took the time to check all the nearby outlets to make sure this was an isolated problem. I was having knee surgery just 5 days later and J and A took away my worry about the outlet. I called the office and requested that they be listed as my preferred techs from now on. If you need electrical help use Palmer Electric. They have great prices and great techs.

    I had a bad neutral between the transformer and my house. They listened to what was going on and said it was not a problem they could fix. Palmer advised me how to contact OUC to get this resolved. That kind of integrity is refreshing.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Tristan! We truly appreciate your kind words. Our goal is always to provide honest guidance, even when the issue falls outside our scope. We’re glad we could point you in the right direction, and we’re here if you ever need us in the future!
    I used Palmer Electric for the first time today and couldn’t be more pleased. From the dispatcher, Bobby, to the electrician, Thomas, the entire process was seamless and pleasant. Bobby ensured that the job requested was scheduled to my schedule and followed up with me. Thomas was on time, personable, and qualified to do the work. He took extra steps not required, but, did so to ensure the best job was done. The price charged was fair and I won’t hesitate to use Palmer Electric in the future.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Douglas! We're so glad your first experience with Palmer Electric was a great one.

    From the estimator to the person who arranged my permits and the two electricians who did the work, I could not be happier with this company. Instead of trying to oversell me a bunch of upgrades I didn’t need by telling me I’d need them to be code compliant, they gave me an honest, competitive quote, fulfilled by competent technicians and they fixed my issue. If my mom needed an electrician, these are the guys I’d hire.

    I was referred to Palmer for the installation of my EV home charger by the Finance manager at my dealership. Tara took my call and came out the next day to survey my home’s electrical panel and map out a plan for the charger placement. Jason R. was the electrician that came out to perform the install. He explained, in detail, what he was going to do and even shared tips for an improved result. He was thorough, precise, and knowledgeable. He was extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions I asked. I even watched as he laid out all his materials prior to starting his work to ensure he had everything needed to complete the job. SUPER PROFESSIONAL! He even called to ensure I was pleased with the final result. I would 100% recommend Jason and Palmer Electric for any of your electrical needs. They are straightforward, fair, and true to their word. I will definitely using their services again .

    Palmer Electric was wonderful and fair priced. The technician they sent, named Jason was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, prompt and just a very pleasant guy. He explained to me what was wrong with my lighting from the utility room to my oven. He also noticed a wire that shouldn't have been on either. He immediately recognized that this was a hazard and could have caused a fire, and immediately fixed it. Jason is definitely an asset to this company, they are lucky to have such experience. Thank you Jason. I would definitely want this tech back when I use palmers again.
