Keep the Lights On
During Any Tampa Storm
Whole home standby generators: professionally installed, permitted, and ready to power your home automatically the moment the grid goes down. No extension cords. No guessing. Just power.
Tampa Is One of the Most Storm-Exposed Metro Areas in the U.S.
Tampa Bay's unique geography creates conditions that funnel Gulf storms directly into Hillsborough County. When the grid goes down here, it can stay down for days, sometimes weeks. A standby generator starts automatically within seconds of an outage and runs until utility power is restored.
- Natural gas through Tampa Electric's Peoples Gas serves most of Hillsborough County, no tank management, no deliveries, no running dry during multi-day outages
- A standby generator starts in seconds, no manual setup, no extension cords running through the house
- Keeps your AC, refrigerator, medical equipment, and security systems running regardless of outage length
- Adds measurable resale value to your home, a key differentiator in the Tampa Bay real estate market
Hurricane Helene
Storm surge flooded coastal Tampa neighborhoods in ways residents had not seen in living memory.
Hurricane Milton
Followed weeks after Helene, overwhelming grid restoration capacity across the region.
Hurricane Irma
Hundreds of thousands of Tampa Bay residents lost power for days, with restoration taking up to a week in some areas.
Annual Thunderstorms, Among Highest in the Nation
Most outages in Tampa aren't from hurricanes. Routine summer storms knock out thousands of homes every year. A standby generator is a year-round solution, not just a hurricane precaution.

What Size Generator Do You Need?
Generator sizing depends on whether you want to power essential circuits only or run your whole home, including all AC zones. Whole home generator installation in Tampa Bay typically ranges from $7,000 to $20,000+ installed, depending on generator size, fuel source, and site conditions.
The table below gives typical installed cost ranges. Your actual price depends on the electrical panel assessment, distance from the gas meter, permitting fees, and pad requirements. We provide a written line-item quote with no surprises on install day.
Natural Gas
- No tank management or deliveries
- Won't run out during multi-day outages
- Available through Peoples Gas in most of Tampa & Hillsborough County
- Lower per-unit fuel cost
Propane (LP)
- Available where natural gas isn't piped in
- Requires on-site tank (above or below ground)
- Tank sizing and monitoring are key considerations
- Good option for rural or semi-rural Hillsborough addresses
| Generator Size | Best For | Typical Installed Cost* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11–14 kW | Essential circuits — lights, refrigerator, one AC unit | $7,000–$10,000 | Best for smaller homes or budget-conscious coverage |
| 18–22 kW | Most homes under 3,000 sq ft — whole home coverage | $10,000–$14,000 | Most popular size for Tampa Bay residential installs |
| 24–26 kW | Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones | $13,000–$17,000 | Handles high-demand loads without load shedding |
| 36 kW+ | Large homes, home offices, medical equipment, pools | $17,000–$25,000+ | Liquid-cooled models — quieter, longer service intervals |
* Prices include equipment, installation, transfer switch, and permit fees, assuming an existing fuel source on the property. Natural gas connections (available in most Tampa neighborhoods through Peoples Gas) typically add minimal cost compared to propane tank installation. Financing available for qualified homeowners.
From First Call to First Automatic Start
Most Tampa Bay generator installations are complete within 30 to 90 days, depending on the Hillsborough County permitting timeline. We manage everything. You don't need to contact a county office.
Free In-Home Assessment
We visit your home, review the electrical panel, confirm your fuel source (natural gas availability is verified at your specific address), assess HOA placement requirements, and calculate the load needed to properly size your generator. No cost, no obligation.
Written Proposal & Equipment Selection
You receive a clear, line-item proposal including equipment, installation, transfer switch, pad, gas line connection, and all permit fees. We walk you through generator brands and models to find the right fit for your home, neighborhood, and budget.
Permitting & HOA Coordination
We handle all Hillsborough County permit applications, schedule inspections, and attend them on your behalf. For HOA-governed communities, Westchase, FishHawk, and similar master-planned neighborhoods, we review placement standards before the install begins.
Installation Day
Our licensed electricians and gas technicians complete the full installation in one day for most projects, concrete pad, transfer switch, gas line connection, and wiring. Once on site, we don't leave until it's running properly.
Testing, Training & Final Walkthrough
We test automatic transfer under load, walk you through the system operation, set up remote monitoring so you can check your generator's status from anywhere, and confirm county final inspection is complete before the job is closed.

Trusted by Tampa Bay Homeowners
"We lost power for four days after Milton. Our generator kicked on within seconds and we never felt a thing, AC, fridge, lights, everything stayed on. The installation team handled every permit and HOA approval. Couldn't have been easier."
"After Helene I started calling around. Enhance Home Solutions came out, assessed my older South Tampa home. Told me my panel needed an upgrade before we could size correctly, nobody else caught that. They fixed it and installed the generator. Did everything right."
"I had my elderly mother living with us and she depends on powered medical equipment. The team understood the urgency. Walked us through the right size generator for her needs. And had everything permitted and installed before the next storm season. Very professional."
