Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Cost depends on the size of the generator, the fuel source, and the complexity of the installation, including permitting and any electrical panel work involved. The most accurate way to get a price is to schedule an in-home assessment so our team can evaluate your property and recommend the right system.
Yes. A permanently installed standby generator typically requires both an electrical permit and a gas or propane permit in Naples and throughout Florida, since the system becomes a permanent part of your home. As a licensed contractor, we handle the permitting process as part of every installation we complete.
A generator that fails to start automatically usually points to a battery issue, a transfer switch problem, or a system that has not been maintained on a regular schedule. If your generator is not responding the way it should, our team can diagnose the issue and get your backup power working reliably again.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, the appliances and systems you want to keep running, and whether you are looking to power the whole house or just the essentials. We size every system based on an on-site evaluation rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
When to Consider Generator Installation
A standby generator can be a good fit if:
- Your home has experienced extended outages during hurricanes or tropical storms
- You want automatic backup power without setting up a portable generator
- You own a seasonal or vacation property that may be unoccupied during an outage
- You rely on refrigeration, medical equipment, pumps, security systems, or other important electrical systems
Residential Generator Installation Services
Every home uses power differently, so generator installation should start with the property, the electrical load, and the systems you want to keep running during an outage.
Whole-Home Standby Generator Installation
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and connected to the electrical system through a transfer switch. When utility power fails, the generator can start automatically and provide backup electricity without manual setup.
Always On Generators installs Generac standby systems that can be configured for whole-home backup or selected electrical loads. Systems can run on natural gas or liquid propane depending on the property and available fuel source.
Generator Sizing and Load Calculations
Choosing the right generator involves more than the home’s square footage. We evaluate the electrical loads the system must support, including air conditioning, refrigeration, lighting, pumps, appliances, and other important equipment.
A proper load calculation helps us recommend a generator with enough capacity for your needs without unnecessarily oversizing the system.
Site Preparation and Generator Pad Installation
The generator needs a stable, properly positioned location before installation begins. Depending on the property and system requirements, site preparation may include a generator pad or elevated platform.
Our team evaluates access, required clearances, drainage, electrical connections, fuel access, and other site conditions to determine the appropriate placement and foundation for the equipment.
Transfer Switch Installation
The transfer switch lets your home switch from utility power to generator power during an outage. We install and configure the transfer equipment based on the generator, electrical system, and loads being backed up so the system can operate automatically when utility service fails.
Commercial Generator Installation
Always On Generators also provides commercial generator installation for businesses, multifamily properties, offices, retail spaces, and other facilities throughout Southwest Florida. Commercial projects involve different equipment sizes, electrical loads, and system requirements than residential installations, so we plan each system around the property and the power it needs to maintain during an outage.

Financing Options for Generator Installation
A standby generator is a significant investment, and financing can make it easier to move forward without paying the full project cost upfront. Always On Generators offers financing options for qualifying homeowners who want more flexibility when planning their installation.
Available terms and payment options can vary, so homeowners can review generator financing options before deciding what works best for their project.
