Residential Generator Installation Services - Frequently Asked Questions
Consultation and installation process
Where are you located, and how can I contact you?
Eau Gallie Electric is located at 162 S. Wickham Rd., Melbourne, FL 32904.
You can reach us by calling 321-259-2885 and following the prompts for the department you need. You can also visit www.eg-electric.com for additional information.
Can I see a generator before purchasing?
While we do not currently have a public showroom, we'd be happy to provide photos, product information, and brochures to help you compare your options.
Simply email genquote@eg-electric.com, and our team will send you the information you need.
Can I schedule a free home consultation? Do I need to be home?
Yes! We offer free in-home generator consultations.
We recommend that a homeowner be present during the visit so our estimator can discuss your power needs, answer questions, review generator placement options, and provide the most accurate recommendation and quote.
To schedule your consultation, call 321-259-2885.
Why do I need to have my property survey available?
A property survey helps us determine the best generator location while ensuring compliance with local building codes and manufacturer clearance requirements.
It is also typically required during the permitting process if you choose to move forward with your installation.
What areas do you serve?
We currently install residential generators throughout:
- Brevard County
- Indian River County
- Portions of St. Lucie County
- Orange County
- Seminole County
- Volusia County

If you're unsure whether you're within our service area, give us a call and we'll be happy to verify.
Are your estimators and technicians qualified?

What is my role during the consultation and installation?
To help your project stay on schedule, we ask that you:
- Confirm scheduled appointments.
- Provide access to your property when needed.
- Respond promptly to emails or phone calls requesting information.
- Provide any required documents, such as your property survey or HOA approval, if applicable.
Our team handles the rest—from permitting through installation and final inspection.
How do you determine what size generator I need?
Generator sizing depends on several factors, including:
- The size of your home
- Which appliances and systems you want to power
- Air conditioning requirements
- Electrical load
- Your budget and backup power goals
During your free consultation, our estimator will evaluate your home's electrical needs and recommend the generator that best fits your requirements.
Do I need HOA or ARC approval?
If you live in a community with an HOA or Architectural Review Committee (ARC), you are responsible for obtaining any required approvals before installation.
Florida law provides homeowners with protections regarding standby generators, but each HOA may have specific requirements related to placement, screening, or appearance.
Any landscaping or screening required by your HOA is the homeowner's responsibility.
We recommend contacting your HOA early in the process to help avoid delays.

Ask our team for current maintenance plan options.
Can I service my own generator?
Yes, if you're comfortable performing routine maintenance and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
However, it is important to keep detailed maintenance records to help preserve your warranty coverage.
If you enroll in one of our maintenance plans, Eau Gallie Electric will perform the service and maintain those records for you.
What warranty comes with my generator?
New Generac home standby generators include a 5-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
As part of our current promotion, eligible generator installations also receive a Generac 10-Year Extended Limited Warranty, which our team registers for you after installation is complete.

Propane and natural gas fuel
Can I choose between propane and natural gas for my generator's fuel source?
Yes, you can choose between propane and natural gas as your generator’s fuel source. However, the availability of natural gas may vary depending on your specific location. We can discuss the pros and cons of each option with you and help determine the most suitable fuel source based on what’s available in your areA. Additionally, please note that while we offer both options, we do not maintain, fill, nor service propane tanks or natural gas lines.
Do you provide propane tank installation and maintenance services as part of the generator installation package?
We offer a turnkey solution when installing a Generac Home Standby generator, which includes propane tank installation. However, please note that we do not maintain, fill, nor service propane tanks. Our installation package is designed to ensure a seamless and comprehensive solution for your backup power needs.
What are the advantages of using natural gas for my generator in Florida?
Natural gas is a reliable and convenient fuel source, often less expensive than propane. It eliminates the need for fuel storage (as with propane) and can run indefinitely during power outages.
Are there any specific permits or regulations for installing propane tanks or natural gas lines for generators in Florida?
We understand that navigating permits and regulations can be complex. That’s why we have a dedicated Permit Coordination Department in place. This specialized team ensures that all necessary permits and regulatory requirements are handled efficiently and in compliance with local laws and codes.

Are Generac Home Standby Generators environmentally friendly?
Generac generators are designed to be efficient and environmentally responsible. They meet stringent emissions standards and are designed for reduced environmental impact.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my Generac Home Standby Generator?

Florida permitting rules
What are the permitting rules in Florida for a home generator installation, and how can Eau Gallie Electric assist with the permitting process?
Permitting rules and regulations for home generator installations in Florida can vary depending on your specific location within the state, as local jurisdictions may have their own requirements. However, there are some general guidelines and considerations to keep in mind when it comes to permitting for home generator installations in Florida:
Local Building Codes: You will typically need to adhere to local building codes and regulations governing the installation of standby generators. These codes may include requirements for safety, electrical work, zoning, and structural considerations.
Electrical Permits: The installation of a home generator involves electrical work, which generally requires an electrical permit. This permit ensures that the electrical components of the generator system are installed correctly and in compliance with the Florida Building Code.
Zoning and Land Use Permits: Some areas may have zoning regulations that dictate where generators can be installed on your property. You may need to obtain zoning or land use permits to ensure compliance with these regulations.
Noise Regulations: Noise restrictions can apply to generator installations, especially in residential neighborhoods. Some jurisdictions have noise ordinances that limit the decibel levels generated by standby generators, particularly during nighttime hours.
Environmental Considerations: Depending on your location, environmental regulations may come into play, especially if you’re installing a generator near sensitive areas like wetlands or water bodies. You might need additional permits or approvals in such cases.
HOA Approvals: If you live in a community governed by a homeowners association (HOA), you may need to seek approval from the HOA before installing a standby generator. HOA rules and aesthetics may affect the placement and appearance of the generator.
Licensed Professionals: In Florida, it’s often a requirement that generator installations be performed by licensed professionals, including electricians and contractors. Using licensed professionals can help ensure that the installation meets all safety and code requirements.
VA funding for veterans
Can the VA help pay for a whole-house generator?
The VA's Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) benefit may help pay for a whole-house generator when the VA determines that it is medically necessary to support life-sustaining equipment. Approval is based on the veteran's eligibility, medical needs, documentation, and available benefit balance.
Disclaimer: VA programs, eligibility requirements, and covered expenses may change. Eau Gallie Electric can guide customers within our service area on how to begin the application process, but the VA determines eligibility and approves funding. If you are outside our service area, contact your local VA for application assistance. Always confirm current requirements and obtain VA approval before starting any work.
What do I need to apply for HISA assistance?
A HISA application package generally includes:
- A prescription or medical-necessity statement written or approved by a VA physician
- A completed and signed VA Form 10-0103
- A written, itemized estimate for labor, materials, permits, and inspections
- A color photograph of the area where the work will be performed
- A signed and notarized authorization from the property owner if the veteran rents the home
The VA may also request a site inspection or additional documentation.
Disclaimer: Application requirements may change or vary by case. Confirm the current requirements with the VA facility where you receive care before submitting your application.
Should I install the generator before receiving VA approval?
You should apply for HISA assistance and obtain written VA authorization before purchasing or installing the generator. The VA permits reimbursement without prior approval only under limited circumstances, so applicants should not assume that completed work will be covered.
Disclaimer: VA authorization and reimbursement policies may change. Check directly with the VA and obtain written approval before signing a contract or beginning installation.
Can an SAH or SHA grant pay for a standby generator?
Possibly, but a generator is not automatically covered simply because a veteran qualifies for an SAH or SHA grant. Ask the VA whether the generator can be included as a medically or functionally necessary part of your approved home-adaptation plan.
Disclaimer: Grant limits are adjusted periodically, and approval of individual expenses is determined by the VA. Confirm current amounts and generator eligibility directly with the VA.
How do I apply for an SAH or SHA grant?
Eligible veterans and service members can apply online through the VA or submit VA Form 26-4555. Eligibility generally depends on having a qualifying service-connected disability and meeting the applicable home-ownership and residency requirements.
Disclaimer: Forms and eligibility requirements may change. Review the current application instructions on VA.gov or speak with a VA representative or Veterans Service Officer before applying.
Can Eau Gallie Electric help with my VA generator application?
If your project is within our Central Florida service area, Eau Gallie Electric can provide generator specifications and a written, itemized installation estimate for your application. However, the VA, not Eau Gallie Electric, determines eligibility and approves funding.
We serve Brevard, Indian River, Orange, Seminole, Volusia, Osceola and Okeechobee counties, and portions of St. Lucie County. Call 321-425-3343 to discuss your project.
Disclaimer: We cannot guarantee VA approval or interpret VA benefit rules. Applicants should confirm current requirements directly with the VA before purchasing equipment or scheduling installation.
