Rolling hills on the Lake Wales Ridge
Whole-home generators in Clermont
Clermont sits on the northern end of the Lake Wales Ridge, so plenty of lots here slope more than people expect in Florida. Homes near the Clermont Chain of Lakes and along SR 50 and US 27 lose power in the same summer storms as everyone else.
What we look at on a Clermont install
Sloped lots
On a hillside yard the pad is set level and placed so rain runs past it, not toward it.
Lakefront homes
We look at how water drains on your lot and keep the unit up out of low spots.
Newer subdivisions
Many have HOA rules on where equipment can sit and how it is screened. We plan around them before the permit.

Clermont questions
Do I need a permit in Clermont?
Yes. Standby generators need permits and inspections. We pull them for your address and book the inspections.
How long does an install take?
The install itself usually takes one to two days once permits are approved.
Natural gas or propane?
Either works. We check what your street has on the site visit.
