Consumer Alert

Reliable Home Power: Professional Service in West Palm Beach

Electrical issues in West Palm Beach are often exacerbated by Palm Beach County's high humidity and salt-air environment. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to property damage or safety hazards.

Hurricane Season Vulnerability

West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County hurricane season runs June through November. Post-storm power outages can last days or even weeks. A standby generator keeps your home running.

Medical Equipment Dependency

CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, medications requiring refrigeration—some family members can't safely be without power. Generator backup is essential.

Home Office Requirements

Remote work requires reliable power. Extended outages mean lost productivity, missed deadlines, and lost income. Generators keep you working.

Pool Pump & Water Systems

Extended power loss means stagnant pool water turning green and well pumps stopping. Generators maintain your pool and water supply during outages.

Food Spoilage Concerns

The average refrigerator contains a significant investment in groceries. Extended outages mean total loss—repeated each hurricane season without reliable backup power.

Security System Protection

Alarm systems, cameras, and electric gate operators depend on power. Outages leave your home vulnerable when the neighborhood is most at risk.

How It Works

How Our West Palm Beach Home Standby Generator Installation Process Works

1

Load Analysis & Sizing

We calculate your home's electrical load, identify critical circuits (AC, refrigerator, well pump), and determine whether you need whole-home coverage or essential circuit protection.

2

Site Planning & Fuel Source

We determine optimal generator placement meeting code clearances, assess your natural gas or propane availability, and plan fuel line routing if needed.

3

Permits & HOA Coordination

We handle all permit applications—electrical permits and sometimes gas permits—plus coordinate any HOA requirements for generator installation.

4

Professional Installation

Our team installs the generator pad, generator unit, automatic transfer switch, and coordinates gas line connection. Installation typically takes 1-2 days.

5

Testing & Training

We test the complete system including automatic transfer, demonstrate operation and maintenance, and schedule your inspection. You'll know exactly how your generator works.

Why It Matters

Home Standby Generator Installation Benefits for West Palm Beach Homeowners

Automatic Operation

Standby generators detect outages and start automatically—even when you're away or asleep. Power transfers in 10-30 seconds with no manual intervention required.

Never Run Out of Fuel

Connected to natural gas or propane, standby generators run continuously as long as fuel is available. No gas station runs during emergencies.

Protect Your Investment

Air conditioning prevents mold growth during humid Florida outages. Sump pumps prevent flooding. Refrigerators save food. Generators protect far more than comfort.

Increase Home Value

Whole-home generators are desirable selling points in hurricane-prone South Florida. Buyers pay premium prices for homes with installed backup power.

Common Questions

Common Home Standby Generator Installation Questions from West Palm Beach Homeowners

Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during outages. A 16-22kW unit typically handles essentials (AC, refrigerator, lights, some outlets). Whole-home coverage for larger homes may require 24kW or larger. We perform a detailed load calculation to recommend the right size—oversizing wastes money, undersizing leaves you without critical power.
Standby generators can run indefinitely as long as fuel is available. Natural gas units connected to utility gas have unlimited runtime. Propane units run until the tank empties (a 500-gallon tank provides roughly 7-10 days at moderate load). Generators need oil changes every 200-500 hours of operation.
Yes. Generator installations require electrical permits (for the transfer switch) and often gas permits (for fuel line connections). Some municipalities have additional requirements. Solomon Electric handles all permitting—you don't need to coordinate anything yourself.
Modern standby generators operate at 65-75 decibels—about the volume of a conversation or air conditioner compressor. They're significantly quieter than portable generators and designed for residential neighborhoods. Local codes specify setback requirements from property lines.
If you have natural gas service, it's typically the better choice—unlimited fuel supply and no tank to maintain. Propane is excellent for homes without gas lines; we can install propane tanks sized to your expected usage. Both fuels provide reliable, clean-burning operation.
Standby generators self-test weekly (you'll hear them run briefly) to ensure readiness. Professional maintenance is recommended annually—oil change, filter replacement, battery check, and load testing. We offer maintenance plans to keep your investment ready when you need it.

Storm-Ready Protection: Automatic Standby Generators in West Palm Beach SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN WEST PALM BEACH

We handle everything from sizing to permits to professional installation. Our licensed electricians perform a complete load calculation before any panel work, ensuring your new unit properly handles your AC, medical equipment, and security systems.

Hurricane-Proof Your Power: Whole-Home Generators in West Palm Beach SOLVING LOCAL ELECTRICAL CHALLENGES IN WEST PALM BEACH

Living in Florida's hurricane corridor means extended power outages are inevitable. Without air conditioning, Florida's heat and humidity become dangerous. Refrigerated food spoils. Medical equipment fails. A properly sized standby generator eliminates these concerns—running automatically on natural gas or propane for as long as needed. Every generator we install is sized to handle West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County's high humidity and heat, with proper weather enclosures rated for coastal environments.
