Generac generator service in Lithia, FL
Generac is the top-selling home standby generator brand in the country, and for hurricane-prone Lithia, that reliability matters. We install Guardian Series standby generators and their required transfer switches correctly, with same-day estimates and 24-hour emergency service when a storm is already on the way.
Purpose-built engines and a nationwide reputation
Generac's Guardian Series generators connect to your existing natural gas or propane supply and start automatically within seconds of a power loss, running for as long as needed until utility power returns. The G-Force engine is purpose-built for generator duty rather than adapted from another application, which contributes to Generac's reputation for reliability.
Dual fuel flexibility
Most Guardian Series units run on either natural gas or liquid propane, depending on what's already connected to your home.
Mobile Link monitoring
Check generator status, maintenance alerts, and outage history from a phone, tablet, or computer, anywhere with a signal.
Quiet-Test self-test mode
Runs a periodic self-test at lower RPM, keeping the routine check quieter and using less fuel than older testing cycles.
Sizing and the transfer switch matter more than the kW number
It's tempting to shop by kW rating alone, but the right Generac size depends on which circuits you actually want backed up, and the transfer switch has to match that plan. Generac offers a 100-amp pre-wired EZ Switch for essential circuits and a 200-amp Nexus Smart Switch for whole-home coverage, and they're not interchangeable in scope.
- An 8 to 10 kW unit typically covers essentials like refrigeration and some lighting
- 18 to 26 kW units can run central air conditioning and most of a home at once
- We do a load calculation before recommending a size, rather than selling the largest option available
Buying oversized wastes money upfront; buying undersized means an unpleasant surprise the first time the power actually goes out.
