Three properties, one point of contact, one invoice. Makes my month a lot simpler.
Aluminium wiring flagged by my insurer. They remediated the connections rather than pushing a full rewire, which saved me a fortune.
Home inspection came back with nine electrical items. Sent them the report, got a line-by-line price, and they knocked all nine out in one morning with photos for the buyer.
Generator Installation in Longboat Key: questions
What size generator do I need for my Longboat Key home?
It depends on whether you want the whole house or just the essentials. In Longboat Key, central air is usually the deciding load. We measure the real demand and size the unit to it rather than selling you the biggest box on the shelf.
Does a standby generator start automatically during a Longboat Key outage?
Yes, with an automatic transfer switch. The unit senses the loss of utility power, starts, and takes over in seconds, then switches back and shuts down once the grid returns. You do not need to be home.
Natural gas or propane for a standby generator?
Natural gas is simpler where the street has service, because there is no tank to refill. Propane is the answer for most Longboat Key properties without a gas main. We coordinate the gas work either way.
Do generators need servicing?
They do. A standby unit exercises itself weekly and needs oil, filters and a battery check on a schedule. We set up the exercise routine and can handle the annual visit.
