Adding a generator to your Florida home requires proper electrical preparation. Here is what you need to know.
1. Choose the Right Generator Type
Standby generators are permanently installed and start automatically. Portable generators are less expensive but require manual operation.
2. Install a Transfer Switch
A transfer switch safely connects your generator to your home electrical system. It prevents dangerous backfeeding of power lines.
3. Ensure Proper Panel Capacity
Your panel must have capacity for the generator connection. If your panel is full or outdated, an upgrade may be needed first.
4. Permit and Inspection
Generator installations require a permit and must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.
