Picture this. A storm hits Southwestern or Southeastern Florida. You’re relaxing in your home, when suddenly, you hear a loud bang as a transformer explodes. You casually turn on your microwave then begin watching your TV program, completely unfazed.
Power may have gone down in your neighborhood, but it hasn’t in your home. A whole-home generator just saved your evening.
Whole home generators are more powerful than portable generators, enabling your home to run multiple functions during a power outage with no problem.
First, you must think about the appliances you need running during a storm. You could get the most powerful generator and be covered, but you could also save money if you want to avoid using certain appliances. Consider your:
Mister Sparky® of Sarasota can help you decide how much power your house needs to run the way you want it to and what size generator is appropriate.
If you have a natural gas line, a generator can be connected to it. You won’t have to change or store fuel this way. A Sarasota electrician can help assess if your current meter can handle it. However, natural gas may be unavailable in the event of a natural disaster, so to be extra safe you can choose propane.
Propane is a fuel source that you will have to keep stocked and be mindful of its flammable properties. Even though it is a little pricier, it has a long shelf life.

Kyle did an outstanding job installing my Power Inlet Box for a portable Generator. Kyle arrived on time, explained the full process and how long the installation would take. Upon completion Kyle quickly walk thru the process of shifting from commercial to portable electricity in case of power failure. Kyle also explained what to do when the power to the house is restored and how to re-energize my circuits. After the demonstration Kyle answered all my questions and was very courteous and patient throughout the process. I highly recommend Kyle from Mister Sparky for your electrical needs. Mr. Jones

Read MoreRamon and Lucas were fantastic! Professional, courteous, friendly, and considerate. They hung some heavy chandeliers and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect. They also added an outlet for a wall mount TV. We are so happy and would highly recommend Mr. Sparky!

Read MoreI had a great experience with Mister Sparky. The assigned electrician arrived promptly and was very accommodating, agreeing to wear a mask and shoe covers as requested. He was polite and professional throughout the entire visit. He quickly and efficiently troubleshot the issue with my smoke detectors and installed six new ones. Unfortunately, one of the new detectors was defective and caused the others to go off shortly after he left. However, the electrician immediately returned to my home the next day to replace the faulty unit, which I greatly appreciated. Beyond the excellent repair work, he also took the time to discuss options for a future generator installation, providing me with detailed and helpful information. I highly recommend this company because they delivers as advertised.

Read MoreI would like to thank Matt and Mr. Sparky for coming to my home to discuss the installation of the Portable Generator Interlock Kit, 50-amp Breaker, and an Inlet outlet connection. Knowing that the hurricane season is getting closer I wasn’t sure if I could get a contractor to come out and do the work. When I called Mr. Sparky, they were extremely helpful and said they could get somebody out within the week to give me an estimate and to actually do the work. I was very pleased to hear that they could come out since many of the others I called wouldn’t even return my phone calls. In any case they came out a week ago a gentleman named Matt contacted me when he was about ½ an hour from my home saying he’d be there, and once he arrived, I showed him where the work needed to be done, and asked him to provide me a quote for all of the electrical work necessary. Matt went into great detail explained to me what would be necessary and even said that they could do the work right away. I said that I didn’t have the generator as of yet and it was on order and I should have it within a week and if everything worked out OK with the quote I would move forward. Matt created a quote right then and there and even included a military discount for me. I was a little surprised at the associated cost since I did have another quote from a 6 months ago and Mr. Sparky’s quote was higher than expected. Matt indicated that he could call the office and see if there was anything that could be done. The end result was they were able to assist me. They provided me multiple quotes one where they supplied all of the materials such as the outlet boxes Breakers and the cables, or if I wished I could purchase those items on line, Matt even told me exactly what materials I needed and where I could get them. Needless to say, with me purchasing most of the materials I was able to knock down the total price considerably. I will be setting up an appointment for the installation. I can’t say enough about Matt, his professionalism, knowledge and helping me out. I highly recommend them.
