Picking the Best Generator for Florida Homes

With Florida’s active hurricane seasons, choosing the right generator for your home is an important decision. Here’s what to consider.

Portable vs. Standby

Portable generators are less expensive upfront but require manual setup, fuel storage, and can’t power your whole home. Standby generators start automatically, run on natural gas or propane, and can power everything in your house — including the AC.

Choose the Right Size

A generator that’s too small won’t meet your needs; one that’s too large wastes money. Our team can calculate your home’s power requirements and recommend the right generator size.

Kohler vs. Other Brands

Air & Energy is Manatee County’s Platinum Kohler generator dealer. Kohler generators are known for their reliability, quiet operation, quick activation (within 10 seconds), and industry-leading warranty. We’ve seen how they perform through major hurricanes — including Ian in 2022.

Professional Installation Matters

A generator must be installed by a licensed electrician to meet code requirements and ensure safe operation. Call Air & Energy at 941-778-0773 to get a free generator consultation.
