Generators
**Homes in the Tampa Bay Area are subject to periodic and severe thunderstorms and hurricanes. Most homes in these areas find themselves without power for a short time and in severe cases a few days, but it doesn't have to be this case if you have a home standby generator it is the solution to these instances**
-Electric Eels Inc Generator Installation-
What will your home generator power? Well, a home standby generator's main function is to provide backup power into your home when the electricity goes out until your local power company (Duke - TECO...) are able to come and service the power lines or even if they are servicing the power lines and must shut down power to your home. A typical home is going to have multiple electrical appliances to power and a generator can power them all depending on the size. The main focus is to power your LIGHTS, A/C HEATING AND COOLING, REFRIGERATION, WATER HEATERS, SUMP PUMPS, AND SECURITY (devices you shouldn't have to go without). That is why upgrading to a whole house generator is always going to be the best option and you won't have to worry about any of these appliances and devices not working. Your home will work and run like it should during severe storms and unfortunate events.
What brand should I have? Electric Eels Inc uses Generac generators because of their durability, excellent reputation, and reliability. Always having power in your home is important and you need a brand you can trust to do its job. Electric Eels has been installing these for over 20 years and offers a large variety of sizing options for your home or business.
How do they work? The generator provides power to your whole home or selects devices. During a power outage, the transfer switch detects the loss of power from your utility company and automatically tells the generator to turn on. You don't have to flip a switch, you don't even have to be home. It is all automatic and designed to do so for your convenience. This will all happen within seconds of the power loss.
Where does it go? Our electrical contractors will walk your home with you and find a suitable location outside of your home. These generators are designed to be located outdoors. If you're located in a flood zone, we will elevate your generator off the ground to an appropriate height that is best for you and safest for the generator.
How do I know how large of a generator I need? Our electrical contractors will come and size your home, check your panel box, and walk with you on what your needs are whether you just want to have power to the essentials or supply the whole house.
