Generator Installation

The Storm Might Be Coming, but the Panic Doesn’t Have To

In Florida, it is not a matter of if the power will go out. It is when. And when that moment comes, the last thing you want is to be fumbling with extension cords, empty gas cans, or worse—calling the power company in the dark.

At Tropical Electric and Lighting, we offer complete generator installation services for homeowners who are ready to take control. From Generac standby generators to portable generator hookups with transfer switches, we install everything you need for automatic, reliable backup power. No chasing subcontractors. No guesswork. Just one call and done.

What We Do Best

Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation
We install trusted brands like Generac, providing you with a seamless backup power system that:

Turns on automatically when the power goes out

Powers your whole home or selected essential circuits

Runs on natural gas or propane with permanent fuel lines

Comes with mobile app monitoring and maintenance reminders

We handle the full process, including panel integration, placement, and system testing.

Fuel Source Coordination with Certified Partners
You should not have to schedule multiple contractors or chase the gas company just to get backup power. We work directly with licensed local propane and natural gas partners to:

Secure permits

Install tanks or connect to your gas utility

Ensure code compliance and safe connection

Finalize startup and test the system with our electrical team

We are your single point of contact from start to finish.
Portable Generator Hookups and Transfer Switches
If you already own a portable generator or are not ready for a full standby system, we install:

Manual or automatic transfer switches

Exterior generator inlets

Pre-wired interlock kits for safe operation

Custom labeled circuits so you know what will be powered

You will never again have to run cords through the window or guess what is working.

You Do Not Have to Wait for Another Storm to Take This Seriously

Every year, hurricanes, lightning storms, and power surges knock out power across Marion, Lake, and Sumter counties. Some homeowners wait days to get it back. Others never lose it at all.
The difference? A properly installed generator system and an electrician who made it easy.
