The Advantages of Having a Generator
Orlando homeowners have experienced going without power for hours or days, and they know how uncomfortable that can be. With a generator powering your home, you and your family stay safe and comfortable until the grid is restored.
Our generators can provide you with:
- An uninterrupted power supply: Generators keep vital appliances like refrigerators, heaters, and air conditioners running, preventing food spoilage and maintaining comfort in extreme weather.
- Sustained connectivity: Generators keep your home's Wi-Fi and electronic devices working so you can stay connected with loved ones and emergency services.
- Home security: During outages, security systems can be vulnerable. A generator keeps alarms and surveillance systems working and helps protect your home.
- Protection from water damage: For homes with sump pumps, a generator keeps them running, protecting your basement from flooding during extended blackouts.
- Uninterrupted medical support: A generator provides essential backup for anyone who depends on home medical equipment, helping safeguard their well-being.
Investing in a generator means more than just keeping the lights on—it’s about safety, security, and peace of mind.
Power outages in Orlando disrupt safety and daily routines. More frequent severe weather in Florida shows why homeowners benefit from backup power. With a generator, you keep critical systems like refrigerators, freezers, and medical equipment running, even when storms down power lines. In these moments, a standby generator can help you avoid unexpected disruptions.
How Home Standby Generators Work
Home standby generators automatically power your home during outages. Technicians permanently install them outside, similar to an air conditioning unit, and connect them directly to your electrical system. When the power goes out, the generator's automatic transfer switch senses the loss and starts the generator within seconds. This switch safely disconnects your home from the main grid and delivers power from the generator. Standby generators use natural gas or propane and supply electricity as long as fuel is available, reliably powering your home's essential systems through an outage—no manual start required.
In Orlando, every installation must meet local codes and permitting standards. Professional installation helps your generator perform efficiently, automatically starting when the utility supply drops. In flood-prone neighborhoods around Orlando, we assess property elevation and accessibility to determine the best location for your generator, so your backup power continues to work when weather conditions are at their worst.
Generator Repair Services: Signs & Solutions
Homeowners depend on generators for backup power, but frequent storms, heavy use, and age create wear and tear. Watch for signs your generator needs service: unusual noises, trouble starting, inconsistent power output, or visible leaks. Catching these issues early helps prevent more expensive repairs later.

Frequently Asked Generator Questions
If you have questions about purchasing, maintaining, or repairing a home generator, our team has all the answers you need and more.

The best generator size for your home depends on your property’s square footage, power needs, and the appliances you want to run during an outage. A conversation with a professional electrician, like Solaris Electric, can help you choose the right option for your specific circumstances.
Can I Install a Generator Myself, or Should I Hire a Professional?
Some small portable generators may work for DIY installation, but larger standby generators require a professional for safety and compliance. Solaris Electric provides installation services to ensure your system operates reliably when the power goes out.
How Long Does a Home Generator Installation Take?
Most home generator installations in Orlando are completed within a day, though inspections or permit steps may affect the schedule. Weather, property access, and unique electrical requirements can also influence the timeline. Licensed professionals help keep your project on track and compliant with all local steps.
Are There Specific Brands or Types of Generators Recommended for Central Florida Homes?
Central Florida’s climate demands generators that work well in humidity, strong heat, and during frequent storms. Homeowners often select brands recognized for their durability and easy maintenance. Working with a licensed provider lets you select the model that matches your power needs and meets area standards.
What Maintenance Tasks Keep a Generator Ready for Storm Season?
