Christina M.
★★★★★
I had Doc Watts install a whole house Generator when I moved into my new house 3 years ago. I HATE being without power. It only takes a few seconds for it to kick on when the power goes out and I have never been without power for 3 years. Hurricanes can't touch my power. The job of installing was flawless and I couldn't be happier with the Doc Watts for the work they have done.

Orlando's Trusted Generac and Kohler Generator Installer Since 2005

When you search for a generator installer near me, you want a company that does this work every day — not a general contractor who installs a generator once a year. Doc Watts Electric has been serving Orlando homeowners for over 18 years, and whole home generator installation is one of our core services. We are factory-certified by both Generac and Kohler, which means our electricians are trained on the latest equipment, our installations meet manufacturer specifications, and your warranty stays fully intact.
Every generator installation we do includes a detailed load calculation to make sure your system covers what matters most — air conditioning, refrigeration, medical equipment, home offices, and more. We handle the Orange County permitting process, coordinate the gas line connection, install the automatic transfer switch, and make sure your standby generator fires up within seconds of a power loss. Our customers trust us because we communicate clearly, show up when we say we will, and stand behind every installation.

Know Your Home Generator Cost Before We Start

The cost of a whole home generator in Orlando depends on the size of your home, how many circuits you want to back up, and which brand you choose. A Generac home generator typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 installed, depending on the model and the complexity of the electrical work. Kohler generators fall in a similar range. Doc Watts Electric provides free, upfront quotes so you know the full generator installation cost before any work begins — no hidden fees, no surprises. We also offer financing options to make backup power affordable for every Orlando homeowner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a portable generator and a whole home standby generator?

A portable generator runs on gasoline, powers a limited number of devices through extension cords, and requires manual setup every time the power goes out. A whole home standby generator is permanently installed outside your home, connects directly to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch, runs on natural gas or propane, and turns on by itself within seconds of a power outage. For Orlando homeowners who want reliable, hands-free backup power — especially during hurricane season — a standby generator is the better long-term investment.

Most residential generator installations are completed in one to two days. The timeline depends on whether your electrical panel needs an upgrade, the distance from the generator pad to your panel, and whether gas line work is required. Your Doc Watts electrician will give you a specific timeframe during the initial consultation.

Yes. Generator installations in Orlando and Orange County require electrical and sometimes gas permits. Doc Watts Electric handles the entire permitting process on your behalf, including scheduling the required inspections, so everything is code-compliant from start to finish.

The right generator size depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 16kW to 22kW standby generator covers most Orlando homes, including air conditioning, major appliances, and essential circuits. During your free consultation, a Doc Watts electrician will perform a load calculation based on your specific home and recommend the right size — whether that is a Generac, Kohler, or another brand.

Yes. Doc Watts Electric is a Generac certified installer and a Kohler certified installer. This means our electricians have completed factory training on both product lines, and your generator installation will meet all manufacturer specifications — keeping your warranty fully valid.
