Remembering Michael

On October 10, 2018, Hurricane Michael came ashore near Tyndall Air Force Base as a Category 5 hurricane with 161 mph winds, according to the National Weather Service, and nearly all customers across much of the Panhandle lost power. A properly installed generator keeps refrigeration, fans or AC, lights and medical equipment running when the grid is down.

Generator safety

Run portable generators outside, away from doors and windows, to avoid carbon monoxide.

Never back-feed through an outlet; use an interlock or transfer switch.

What Goes Into the Price of Generator Installation

There's no one-size price: it depends on generator size, fuel type and gas line distance, transfer switch type, and pad and site work. Ask for a free estimate and get the price before work starts.

About Generator Installation

Can a generator run my AC?

Yes, if it's sized for it. Tell us what you want to cool.

Natural gas or propane?

Depends on what's available at the house; both work for standby units.

Who issues the permit?

Electrical permits come from the City of Panama City or Bay County, depending on where the house is (beach and other cities run their own). The electrical contractor pulls it and the work is inspected.
