What Hollywood Homeowners Should Know About Generator Installation
Standby generator installation in Hollywood gives your home automatic backup power when the grid goes down — no manual action required. The generator detects the outage, starts within 10–30 seconds, and runs until utility power is restored. We install Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton generators with full permitting in Broward County — building permit, electrical permit, and gas permit where applicable.
Hollywood Building Department covers a coastal city with significant residential variety — Art Deco beach buildings, 1950s–1970s CBS neighborhoods inland, and newer master-planned communities further west. Properties in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) require wind mitigation compliance for all permitted work.

Generator Installation in Hollywood — FAQ
Do generators need a permit in Hollywood?
Yes — standby generator installation requires a building permit, electrical permit, and gas permit in Broward County. The installation also requires FPL coordination for the transfer switch connection. Any contractor who offers to skip permits is creating a liability for you — insurers deny claims on unpermitted electrical equipment.
What size generator do I need in Hollywood?
Size depends primarily on your AC system — the largest electrical load in a South Florida home. A single 3-ton AC draws 3,500–5,000 watts at startup. Most Hollywood homes with one AC unit are well-served by a 16–20 kW unit. We run a load calculation on every assessment.
When is the best time to install a generator in Hollywood?
Install before you need it — ideally February through May, before hurricane season opens June 1. After a storm is named and tracks toward South Florida, generator lead times jump from 2–4 weeks to 8–16 weeks. Off-season installation is the right call.
Can I install a generator if I don't have natural gas in Hollywood?
Yes — liquid propane (LP) generators work the same way as natural gas units, with a propane tank installed on your property. Parts of Broward County lack natural gas infrastructure, and LP is the standard choice for those areas.
