Don't Let Outages Win – Power Up with Reliable Residential Generators

Stay Powered, Stay Safe: The Benefits of a Whole House Generator

We’re often asked, “What’s the best residential generator?” The truth is, the answer depends on your home’s specific power needs. Every whole house generator is different—so finding the right one means considering the size of your home, energy demands, and more. That’s why it’s best to consult a professional who can guide you through sizing and installation options tailored just for you.

A whole house generator is more than just backup—it’s peace of mind. Within seconds of a power outage, it automatically kicks on, keeping your lights on, HVAC running, electronics powered, and your home safe and connected. Whether it’s a storm or utility issue, a residential generator ensures your family stays secure and comfortable no matter what.

From Outage to On—The Top Benefits of a Residential Generator

Think of a residential backup generator as an insurance policy you’ll be glad you have—especially when the lights go out. While no one can predict when the next power outage will strike, being prepared makes all the difference. The real value of a generator depends on how much you rely on electricity and how much peace of mind is worth to you.

If you depend on power for medical equipment, work from home, or simply live in an area prone to outages, a professional residential generator installed isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity. For many homeowners, especially those with families or health concerns, the best whole house generator offers a reliable backup that keeps life running smoothly.

When the power goes out, a whole house generator automatically restores electricity within seconds. That means your lights stay on, your appliances stay running, and your home stays safe and comfortable—no matter what’s happening outside. From keeping your refrigerator cold to charging your devices or powering life-saving medical equipment, a generator offers more than just energy—it offers security.

At Florida Power Solutions, we believe installing a residential generator is one of the smartest ways to invest in your home, your comfort, and your peace of mind. Because when the unexpected happens, being prepared changes everything.

From Storms to Surprises: Why a Residential Backup Generator Is Essential

If your home is near the Gulf of Mexico, the Myakka River, or any major body of water, you're likely no stranger to severe weather. That’s exactly why your property is an ideal candidate for a residential backup generator. When hurricanes, flooding, or major storms strike, power outages can last for days—even weeks. But with a whole house generator, you can stay powered up and protected through it all.

Locals know the stress of hurricane season all too well. Just think back to Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Millions were left in the dark, and in places like the Rockaways in Long Island, it took 14 days for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to deliver backup generators to affected areas. Now imagine the peace of mind that comes from having your own residential backup generator already in place—ready to restore power in seconds.

In Florida, where sweltering heat, heavy storms, and power interruptions are part of life, having a whole house generator isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re caring for children, elderly family members, or pets, electricity is vital for everything from cooking and showering to staying cool and connected.

Trust us: when the next storm hits and your lights stay on, you’ll be grateful you didn’t wait. Choosing a reliable team of residential generator installers near you can make all the difference in keeping your home safe, comfortable, and on the grid—no matter what nature throws your way.

We serve Central Southwest Florida including Hillsborough, Manatee, Sarasota and Charlotte counties plus the surrounding areas.

Checking the oil is ostensibly necessary at 6-month to 1-year service intervals. Florida Power Solutions has found that due to new cleaner-burning fuel technology, along with periodic, short-term usage of the unit, those recommended service intervals are optimal. Now, depending on your unit model, the size of your unit, its cooling capabilities, and its frequency of use, especially during long run periods (24 hours or more), the service interval may vary. But not to worry, almost EVERY unit has multiple shut-down circuits to avoid any major failure or breakdown during the operation of your generator.

Yes, most permanently-installed generators automatically start. The unit will start for two reasons: 1) If there is a power service interruption, or 2) The unit will run an “exercise” schedule. An exercise schedule is an automatic operation by your unit that runs through its critical systems to make sure all the unit’s components are functioning properly. You can find the frequency and duration of your generator’s exercise cycles in your Owner’s Manual.

The National Electric Service requires a generator sizing and calculates the entire electrical demand for your home or business. The calculation takes into account all of your actual appliances and electrical devices. This is important because today we utilize “shedding” technology, which automatically disconnects and reconnects individual electrical applications, based on priority and necessity, so your most important items will work conveniently when needed. Another important facet of “load shedding” is that it allows your home or business operate on a smaller back-up generator unit, leaving a smaller carbon footprint, and using less fuel.
