Never lose power again. We install Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton whole home standby generators throughout the Shoals area. These automatic systems detect power outages within seconds and restore electricity to your entire home — no manual startup, no extension cords, no worries. Installation includes the generator unit, transfer switch, natural gas or propane connection, and electrical integration by our licensed electricians in Florence, AL.

Whole home generators are permanently installed outside your home, similar to an air conditioning unit. When the power goes out, the automatic transfer switch detects the loss and signals the generator to start. Within 10 to 15 seconds, your home has power again — lights, HVAC, refrigerator, medical equipment, everything. When utility power returns, the system automatically switches back and shuts the generator down.

Shoals Generator Installation handles every step: a free on-site assessment to determine the right generator size for your home, all electrical and gas connections, permitting with the City of Florence or your local municipality, and final inspection. We are a licensed, insured contractor serving Lauderdale and Colbert Counties.

Most whole home generator installations in the Florence area are completed in one to two days. This includes setting the unit, running the gas line, installing the transfer switch, and making all electrical connections.

What fuel sources can a whole home generator use?+
