Up on a plateau above Lake Dora
Whole-home generators in Mount Dora
Mount Dora sits on a plateau about 184 feet above sea level, looking out over Lakes Dora, Gertrude and Beauclair. Its downtown is a historic district, and many homes nearby are older, with tight side yards and mature oaks.
What we look at on a Mount Dora install
Tight side yards
Older lots can be narrow. We measure clearances to windows and property lines before picking a size.
Mature trees
We look up as well as down and keep the unit clear of big limbs and root zones.
Historic district
If your home is in the historic district, we check for extra review before the permit.
