Recent Sarasota feedback
Booked the EV charger install expecting a runaround about my panel. Instead they checked the capacity first, told me load management would save me an upgrade, and did it in one visit.
Lanai fans had rusted solid in the salt air. They put in wet-rated units with stainless hardware and explained the difference.
Called on a Sunday about a burning smell. He found a failing breaker before it became something worse. I did not expect anyone to come out that day.
Generator Installation in Sarasota: questions
What size generator do I need for my Sarasota home?
It depends on whether you want the whole house or just the essentials. In Sarasota, 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 Sarasota 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 Sarasota 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.
