Our Generator Installation Services

Keep your air conditioning running, your refrigerator cold and your essential devices powered on, even when the rest of the block loses power. During hurricane season in Florida, a whole-house generator is an essential upgrade for keeping your family safe and comfortable when storms knock out power for an indeterminate period.

Hoffman Electrical & A/C provides dependable home generator installations in Tampa, so your household stays running even when the power is out.

The True Cost of a Tampa Power Outage

A power outage that lasts for days is frustrating, expensive and can lead to issues such as:

• No AC in oppressive heat: Without power, your home can become hot and humid quickly, creating an environment that puts your family, especially children and older adults, at risk of heat-related illnesses.
• Spoiled groceries: A powerless refrigerator means lost food. After just a day, you could be forced to throw out hundreds of dollars' worth of groceries and frozen foods.
• Security and communication issues: When the power goes out, so do your lights and the internet connection you rely on for work, school and critical storm updates.
• Inability to power medical equipment: For family members who rely on powered medical equipment like CPAP machines or oxygen concentrators, a power outage can escalate into a health emergency.

How a Standby Generator Keeps Your Life Running

With a generator, you are always prepared. When an outage hits, the automatic transfer switch immediately and safely switches to backup power. This automatic switch means your food stays cold, your AC keeps running and your family remains comfortable, all while the generator does the work behind the scenes. It's the ultimate peace of mind for any Tampa homeowner.

Generator Installation FAQs

Here are answers to a handful of common questions about generator installation in Tampa. Contact us for further details and with additional questions.

What size generator do I need for my home?

The ideal size of a backup generator for Tampa homes depends on the size of your house and your goals. Some homeowners want essential-circuit coverage, and others want to power televisions, kitchen appliances, and more. We can discuss this with you during your consultation and provide an accurate estimate via a load calculation.

Do you offer financing for generators?

Yes, we have flexible financing options available, subject to credit approval. These options range from 18-month plans with no interest to 132-month plans. We offer a simple application process, convenient monthly statements, online bill pay, and much more. We're happy to discuss your financing options during the consultation for your home generator install.

Can I install a generator myself?

The Florida Building Code requires whole-home generator installation to be performed by a licensed electrician. A licensed electrician must acquire the permit and be present for the code-compliance inspection. Even if you could legally install your own generator, it's not recommended due to the safety and property damage risks involved.

Do you maintain generators, too?

Yes, we provide maintenance services for all generator brands and models. We also have maintenance plans available that you can customize to your needs. Homeowners should schedule maintenance at least once a year to keep their systems ready year-round. You may need maintenance more often during years in which you experience high generator usage.
