Spectrum Electric is proud to be an authorized Generac dealer, installer, and service provider serving Orlando, Apopka, Winter Park, Casselberry, and surrounding Central Florida communities. As a licensed electrical contractor with over 25 years of experience, we deliver complete whole home generator solutions from initial sizing through installation and ongoing maintenance.
A whole home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, similar to a central air conditioning unit. When the power goes out, the generator automatically detects the outage and restores power to your entire home within 10 to 20 seconds. Unlike portable generators that require manual setup, fuel storage, and extension cords, a standby generator runs on your existing natural gas line or a propane tank, providing seamless, hands-free protection.
For Orlando homeowners, this means your air conditioning keeps running, your refrigerator stays cold, your security system stays active, and your family stays comfortable no matter how long the outage lasts.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and Central Florida experiences daily summer thunderstorms that knock out power without warning. When a major storm hits, grid restoration can take days or even weeks.
Without power in a Central Florida home, indoor temperatures climb above 90 degrees within 24 hours. High humidity accelerates mold growth. Food spoils within hours. Medical equipment, sump pumps, and security systems go offline.
A whole home generator eliminates these risks. Your home continues to function normally while you wait for grid power to be restored, giving you and your family complete peace of mind during storm season.
Founded in 1959, Generac pioneered the home standby generator market and remains the industry leader today. Eight out of ten homeowners with backup power choose Generac. Here's why we recommend them to our Orlando customers:
Proven Reliability: Generac builds generators specifically designed for residential backup power. Their engines are engineered from the ground up for generator use, not adapted from other applications.
Mobile Link Remote Monitoring: Monitor your generator's status from anywhere using your smartphone. Receive alerts if maintenance is needed or if the unit detects a problem.
Quiet-Test Mode: Weekly self-tests run at reduced RPM, keeping noise to a minimum while ensuring your generator is always ready.
Parts and Service Availability: As the market leader, Generac parts are readily available and service support is accessible 24/7/365.
Natural Gas and Propane Options: Choose the fuel source that works best for your property. Natural gas connects to your utility line for unlimited fuel supply. Propane is ideal for homes without gas service.
We also install and service Kohler, Briggs & Stratton, and Cummins generators for customers who prefer these brands.
