Picking the Best Generator for Florida Homes
Picking the Best Generator for Florida Homes
Florida homeowners have more generator options than ever. Here's a practical guide to choosing the right system for your home.
Portable vs. Standby
Portable generators are lower cost but require manual setup, run on gasoline (which may be unavailable after a storm), and can only power select appliances. Standby generators install permanently, start automatically within seconds of an outage, and run on natural gas or propane. For most Florida homeowners, a standby generator is the better long-term investment.
Air-Cooled vs. Liquid-Cooled
Air-cooled standby generators (typically 7-20 kW) are sufficient for most homes and cost less. Liquid-cooled generators (20 kW+) handle larger homes, small businesses, and applications requiring continuous high-load operation. Air & Energy can assess your home's power needs and recommend the right size.
