Don’t Put Up With Any Malarkey When It
Comes to Power!
Florida has some of the highest rates of annual power outages across the United States, most of which have to do with tropical storms and hurricanes. When a storm hits your area or you are experiencing an electrical outage, having a source of backup power like a generator can keep your home safe and comfortable.
Types of Generators We Install
Generators provide a source of power when you don’t have electricity. They transform energy from a fuel source like liquid propane, natural gas, or gasoline. If you are looking to provide your home with a form of protection against electrical outages, Service Minds Mister Sparky can help.
Portable Generators
Inverter generators are small, a portable, gas powered generator that you might take on a camping trip, with just enough capacity to power some heaters, lights, and a smartphone. But if you want something more substantial, you want a portable generator.
This is a specific type of generator that runs on gasoline and is strong enough that it can power some of your appliances like a refrigerator.
- Portable generators produce exhaust so they need to be kept at least 10 feet away from your home or garage while you are using them
- Portable generators won’t work unless you are there to physically connect the generator to your electrical system
- Portable generators have to be protected from rain or snow so that air can circulate, so you’ll need to create some form of protection in the event of a storm
- Portable generators are quite loud and can use up to 20 gallons of gas on a daily basis so you’ll need to prepare adequately
Stand-By Generators
The top tier choice is a standby generator. This is one that uses some of the same electrical equipment you already have to power your whole house automatically. These are sometimes called backup generators or referred to as whole home generators but they all do the same things.
- Standby generators are permanently installed so you always have protection
- Standby generators automatically switch on when the power goes out so you don’t have to be there to connect anything
- Standby generators connect to your propane tank or natural gas supply lines to provide the fuel source so you don’t have to go to the gas station and collect red containers of fuel every time the power goes out
- Standby generators can last up to 15 years and provide backup power that is ongoing

What to Expect with Service Minds Mister Sparky Generator Installation
When we show up for your generator installation in Ocala, we will help you by assessing your electrical system and recommending the size and model that will work best.
Once you have the size and model in mind, we will help obtain the necessary permits and pick an ideal location that conforms with safety requirements. In general, generators have to be installed 3 feet from anything flammable, 4 feet from exterior house walls, but close enough to your gas line or electrical meter. You also want them far away from bushes, vents, decks, or windows.
Once it is time for your installation we will permanently install a standby generator or show you how a portable generator connects to your system. With a standby generator we will connect the generator to a transfer switch with a specific generator cord that works automatically. We will also connect it to your fuel source and anchor it to the concrete pad where it will remain.
