Whole House Generator Installation in Stuart & Jensen Beach, FL
If you live in Stuart or Jensen Beach, you already know what Florida storm season looks like. The Treasure Coast sits squarely in the path of Atlantic hurricanes, and when a major storm rolls through, power outages in Martin County can stretch from a few hours to several days.
A whole-house standby generator is the most reliable way to protect your home and family when the grid goes down. As an Authorized Generac Dealer serving Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City, and Hobe Sound, Imperium Electric installs and services Generac generators for Martin County homeowners every week.
Why Stuart & Jensen Beach Homeowners Choose Standby Generators
Martin County experiences some of the most severe weather in Florida. Between hurricane season (June–November) and the daily summer thunderstorms that roll in off the Atlantic, power outages are a regular reality — not a rare event.
Here's what a whole-house Generac generator does that a portable generator can't:
- Starts automatically within seconds of a power outage — no manual startup, no running outside in a storm
- Powers your entire home — central AC, refrigerator, lights, outlets, garage door, and medical equipment
- Runs on natural gas or propane — no refueling, no running out of fuel mid-storm
- Monitors itself — Generac's Mobile Link system lets you check generator status from your phone
For Stuart and Jensen Beach homeowners, the ability to keep central AC running during a summer outage isn't a luxury — it's a health and safety necessity.
What's Included in a Complete Generator Installation
When Imperium Electric installs a Generac generator at your Martin County home, we handle every part of the project:
Generator Selection We assess your home's square footage, electrical load, and critical circuits to recommend the right Generac size — typically 16–22 kW for most Stuart and Jensen Beach homes.
Gas Line Work Most standby generators run on natural gas. We extend your existing gas line to the generator pad. As a licensed plumbing contractor (CFC1431415), we handle all gas line work in-house — no subcontractors.
Electrical Connection & Transfer Switch We install an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that detects an outage and switches your home to generator power within seconds. All electrical work is performed by our licensed electricians (EC13009338).
Concrete Pad Generators must be installed on a level, stable surface. We pour a concrete pad to manufacturer specifications.
Permits & Inspection All generator installations in Martin County require permits. We pull every permit and schedule all inspections — your installation is fully code-compliant and insurable.
Generator Sizing for Stuart & Jensen Beach Homes
The right generator size depends on your home's square footage and what you want to power:
| Home Size | Recommended Generator | What It Powers |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 sq ft | 10–13 kW | Essential circuits, window AC |
| 1,500–2,500 sq ft | 16–20 kW | Full home including central AC |
| 2,500–3,500 sq ft | 22–24 kW | Large home, full coverage |
| 3,500+ sq ft | 26–36 kW | Large home with pool, multiple AC units |
For most Stuart and Jensen Beach homes, a 16–22 kW Generac provides complete whole-home coverage including central air conditioning — the most important system to keep running during a Florida summer outage.
How Much Does Generator Installation Cost in Stuart, FL?

Generac's 5-Year Residential Warranty
One of the biggest advantages of buying from an Authorized Generac Dealer like Imperium Electric is warranty coverage. Generac's residential standby generators come with a 5-year limited warranty — but only when purchased and installed through an authorized dealer.
Buying from an unauthorized source voids the warranty. We register every generator we install directly with Generac, so your warranty is active from day one.
