Our Generator Installation Process

Free Site Assessment

We visit your home, assess your electrical panel, gas/LP supply, and determine the right generator size for your load.

2

Permit & Planning

We pull the required electrical permit with your local municipality — Cape Coral, Lee County, Collier County — before any work begins.

3

Generator Pad & Placement

We install a concrete pad and position the Generac unit per manufacturer clearance specs and local code setback requirements.

4

We install the automatic transfer switch and connect it to your main electrical panel. The ATS detects outages and transfers power in under 10 seconds.

5

Inspection & Commissioning

Generator FAQs for Bonita Springs Homeowners

How much does a Generac generator installation cost in Southwest Florida?

We provide free, itemized estimates with no obligation.

How long does a whole-home generator installation take?

Most residential Generac generator installations in Cape Coral and Fort Myers take 1–2 days for the physical installation, plus several days for permit processing before we begin. Total project time from contract to final inspection is typically 2–4 weeks.

What size Generac generator do I need for my Southwest Florida home?

For most Cape Coral and Fort Myers homes under 2,500 sq ft on 200A service, a 22kW Generac Guardian is sufficient. Larger homes (3,500+ sq ft) or those with multiple A/C units should consider the 24kW or 26kW. Homes over 400A service may need our 80kW or 125kW commercial models. We size every generator based on a free load calculation at your home.

Does a generator installation require a permit in Cape Coral and Lee County?

Yes — all standby generator installations require an electrical permit from the City of Cape Coral or Lee County Building Department. ElectriciansX handles all permit applications, inspections, and final sign-offs on your behalf.

Can I run my whole home on a 22kW Generac generator?

Not every circuit at once. A 22 kW Generac Guardian can carry the circuits a typical smaller 200-amp home needs, including air conditioning, through the transfer switch. It does not run every breaker at full load at once. For most homes under about 2,500 square feet, 22 kW is the usual fit. Larger homes, or a home with more than one air conditioner, should look at 24 kW or 26 kW. We size every generator from a load calculation.

What fuel does a Generac standby generator use?

Generac Guardian series generators run on natural gas (preferred where available) or liquid propane (LP). In Cape Coral and Fort Myers where TECO/FPL natural gas service is available, we typically connect to your existing gas line. In areas without natural gas, we work with your LP supplier to size and install an appropriately sized propane tank.

Which building department handles generator permits in Bonita Springs?

Bonita Springs spans both Lee and Collier counties. Most of the city falls under Lee County Building Services, but properties south of certain boundaries may fall under Collier County. ElectriciansX determines the correct jurisdiction and manages all permitting on your behalf.
