Here's exactly what happens when you submit a request through PowerReady Pro — and why it beats calling contractors at random.
We built this to remove every frustrating part of finding a generator installer in Florida.
Our intake assistant — powered by Claude AI — asks you a few targeted questions about your home and power needs. You'll share your address, the type of generator you're considering (whole home standby is most popular), your fuel source preference (natural gas or propane), any brand preferences like Generac or Kohler, and your timeline. It takes about 2 minutes.
Your information is saved securely in our system and an alert is sent to our team immediately. We review your request, confirm your county, and identify the top 3 licensed contractors in your area who match your needs. This typically happens within a few hours.
Our matching system finds contractors in your county who hold an active Florida EC (Certified Electrical Contractor) or ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) license. We prioritize contractors with Google ratings of 4.0 or above, 5+ reviews, and no DBPR disciplinary actions. We return the top 3 by score.
Our team connects the matched contractor with your lead. The installer contacts you directly by phone or email — whichever you provided. They'll discuss your project details, answer questions about brands and sizing, and schedule a site visit or quote call at a time that works for you.
Your licensed Florida electrical contractor installs your new whole-home standby generator, connects it to your electrical panel, and sets up the automatic transfer switch so your home powers back on within seconds of an outage. You'll receive permit documentation and a walk-through of the system before they leave.
Prices vary based on home size, generator brand, and fuel source. Here's a rough range to help you plan — your installer will provide an exact quote.
Everything homeowners typically ask before getting started.
Yes, completely free. PowerReady Pro earns a referral fee from the contractor — paid by the contractor, not you. Homeowners pay nothing to use this service.
A whole home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, runs on natural gas or propane, and turns on automatically within seconds of a power outage. Portable generators require manual setup, can't power your whole home, and run on gasoline.
Generator installation involves electrical work connecting to your home's panel and transfer switch. Florida requires either an EC (Certified Electrical Contractor) or ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) license — both issued by the Florida DBPR. Every contractor in our network holds one of these.
Timeline depends on contractor availability and permit processing in your county. After a major storm, demand spikes and lead times can be 4–8 weeks. If you're planning ahead, installation can often happen within 2–3 weeks.
Natural gas is ideal if your home already has a gas line — it's connected directly with no refueling needed. Propane works well in areas without natural gas lines and can be stored on-site in a tank. Your installer can advise based on your neighborhood and utility setup.
Generac is the most widely installed brand in Florida. Kohler, Cummins, and Briggs & Stratton are also excellent options. Your contractor will recommend a model sized for your home's load. Brand preference is collected during intake so we can match you accordingly.
We match you with the top contractor for your county and needs, and our team handles the connection manually. You won't get bombarded with calls — just a direct reach-out from the best-matched installer in your area.
Yes. Standby generator installation requires an electrical permit in Florida. Your licensed contractor will pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and handle all permit documentation as part of the installation process.
