Generator Installation in Branford, FL
Standby generators, transfer switches and safe portable generator hookups.
North Florida storms take the power out, and rural feeders are usually the last ones restored. For The People Electrical Services LLC installs standby generators and safe portable generator hookups throughout Branford, Suwannee County and the surrounding region.
The single most important part of any generator install is the transfer switch. Backfeeding a house through a dryer outlet with a suicide cord can energize the utility line outside and kill a lineman. We install proper transfer equipment, every time.

Frequently asked questions
+Standby or portable — which should I get?
A standby unit starts automatically and runs the home unattended. A portable with a proper inlet and interlock costs far less and covers critical circuits. We will walk through both.
+Is a transfer switch required?
Yes. Any generator connected to house wiring needs transfer equipment to prevent backfeeding the utility line, which is both illegal and dangerous.
+Can you make sure my well pump runs?
Yes. Well pumps are usually the first circuit we put on backup for rural homes.
+Do you service generators you did not install?
We can inspect and correct existing hookups and transfer equipment.
+How long does installation take?
A portable inlet and interlock is often a same-day job. A whole-home standby install typically takes longer and may involve a fuel contractor and inspection.
