Residential Generator Installation
Whole-home standby generator installation in Orlando. Generac and Kohler systems sized, permitted, and installed turnkey before hurricane season. Free quotes.
Every Central Florida homeowner has done the hurricane math: coolers of melting ice, a portable generator screaming on the patio, extension cords through windows, and a week of it. A whole-home standby generator ends that era — it starts itself within seconds of an outage, powers the entire house including air conditioning, and shuts itself down when the grid returns. You may sleep through the outage entirely.
TrueBright Electric installs whole-home standby generators across Orlando and Central Florida, primarily Generac and Kohler systems. Installation is turnkey: load calculation to size the unit correctly (air conditioning is the deciding factor in Florida — undersized units can't carry it), concrete pad placement per code setbacks, automatic transfer switch installation, coordination of the natural gas or propane connection with a licensed gas contractor, permits and inspections in your county, and a full commissioning test under load.
Sizing is where experience matters most. A 22–26kW unit covers most Central Florida homes with one AC system; larger homes, pools, and EV charging change the math. We size from your actual panel and demand, not a brochure chart, and we'll tell you honestly if a smaller managed-load setup fits your budget better.
Lead times stretch every year as hurricane season approaches — the best installation window is now, not the week a storm has a name.
Licensed (EC13014479), insured, workmanship guaranteed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a whole house generator cost in Orlando?
Installed turnkey, most Central Florida whole-home systems run $12,000–$18,000 depending on size, fuel source, and gas line requirements. Smaller managed-load systems start lower. Exact flat-rate quote after a site visit.
Natural gas or propane — which is better?
If your street has natural gas, it's usually the answer: no tank, no refills, indefinite runtime. No gas service means a propane tank (typically 250–500 gallons buried or above ground). We'll assess your property and quote both if applicable.
Can a standby generator run my air conditioning?
Yes — if it's sized for it, which is precisely why we do a load calculation instead of guessing. AC is the largest load in a Florida home and the most common sizing mistake we see in DIY-purchased units.
How long does installation take?
Typically 1–2 days on site once the unit, permit, and gas coordination are in place. Total project timelines run several weeks depending on unit availability and permitting — longer as hurricane season peaks.
