Call (305) 680-3283 and we will handle your generator permit.

1. Why a Generator Needs a Permit

A permanently installed standby generator is not a plug-in appliance — it ties into the home's electrical system through a transfer switch, often runs on natural gas or propane, and must sit on a code-compliant pad with proper clearances. Each of those elements is permitted and inspected, and the gas and electrical scopes typically require their own licensed trades.

Installing one without a permit creates a liability that surfaces at sale, insurance review, or inspection. We pull the correct permits the first time. One call to (305) 680-3283 puts that in our hands.

2. Electrical, Gas, and Placement Requirements

Generator permitting covers the electrical interconnection and transfer switch, the fuel supply and gas line where applicable, and the unit's placement — clearances from windows, openings, and property lines all matter. In the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, the mounting and anchoring must also meet wind standards.

We coordinate the electrical and gas trades together so the install passes inspection — see how the wiring side fits in our electrical permit guide — and confirm placement against setback and clearance rules before submission.

3. Generators for Homes, Businesses, and Critical Facilities

We pull generator permits for single-family homes and estates, condominiums and condo associations, multifamily buildings, restaurants, retail, medical and dental offices, and commercial and industrial facilities throughout South Florida — including the backup power that hospitals, clinics, and assisted-living facilities are required to maintain.

Where placement affects the site or setbacks, we coordinate the licensed surveyor's seven-day workflow — site visit, physical measurement of property corners and improvements, field-data processing, and a signed-and-sealed survey.

4. How We Handle Your Generator Permit

You never file or chase a department yourself. We prepare the electrical and gas submissions, confirm placement and clearances, pull the permits tied to the master permit, and schedule the inspections through to final approval, operating every Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach system on your behalf.

The generator is often one piece of a larger resilience upgrade alongside impact openings and roofing — work we coordinate as part of the broader scope in our new construction and renovation guide. Call (305) 680-3283 to begin.
