Licensed & InsuredFL #EC13008804Free Estimates24/7 Emergency

South Florida averages 6–8 named storms per season and FPL outages that can last days. A Generac standby generator connects to your natural gas or propane line, monitors utility power 24/7, and starts automatically within 10 seconds of an outage — no extension cords, no manual startup. Legacy Electrical is a certified Generac dealer and handles everything from load calculation and permit to gas line coordination and final inspection.

Common Problems We Solve

Sound Familiar?

Days without power after hurricanes

FPL restoration after major storms can take 3–10 days. Portable generators require manual setup, fuel runs, and can't power central AC.

Food spoilage & medication loss

Refrigerators and freezers fail within hours. Insulin and other temperature-sensitive medications can be ruined in a single outage.

Sump pump & flood risk

South Florida's water table is high. Without power, sump pumps fail and flooding can occur even without a direct storm hit.

Home office & remote work disruption

Power outages cost remote workers and home-based businesses thousands in lost productivity and missed deadlines.

Our Approach

How We Fix It

We size the generator to your home's load, coordinate the gas line with your utility, pull the electrical and gas permits, install the Generac unit with an automatic transfer switch, and perform the final load test — all permitted and inspected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation

How much does a whole-home generator cost in Miami?
Generac whole-home standby generators in Miami typically run $8,000–$18,000 installed, depending on generator size (11kW–26kW), transfer switch type, and gas line work required. We provide a free on-site assessment and firm written quote.
Natural gas or propane — which is better for Miami?
Natural gas is preferred in Miami-Dade and Broward because it's piped directly to your home with no storage or refueling. Propane is used where natural gas isn't available — we coordinate the tank installation with your propane supplier.
How long does generator installation take?
Most residential generator installations are completed in one to two days. Permit approval typically takes 3–7 business days in Miami-Dade; we handle the application and scheduling.
Do I need a permit for a generator in Miami-Dade?
Yes — both electrical and gas permits are required. We pull both permits, coordinate with the gas utility, and schedule all required inspections.
What size generator do I need for my Miami home?
A 1,500–2,500 sq ft home typically needs an 11–16kW generator for essential circuits or 18–22kW for whole-home coverage. Homes with two AC units or pools may need 22–26kW. We perform a free load calculation at your property.
