When Is the Best Time to Install a Generator?
When Is the Best Time to Install a Generator?
The honest answer: before you need one. Generator installation takes one to two days and requires permits and utility coordination. Here's how to time it right.
Spring Is Ideal
Installing before hurricane season (which begins June 1) gives you the full protection of generator ownership through the most dangerous months. Spring installation also avoids the late-season rush when installation schedules fill up quickly after the first major storm threats.
After a Close Call Is the Second-Best Time
Many Manatee County homeowners call us the week after a near-miss hurricane. That's understandable. The problem is that everyone else does the same thing at once, leading to longer lead times. Don't wait for a storm to remind you.
Before Putting Your Home on the Market
A whole-home generator increasingly adds measurable value to Florida properties and is a strong selling point to buyers concerned about storm season. Installing before listing can improve your sale price and time-on-market.
