Our licensed electricians offer reliable service, powering your home during outages and severe weather. Safety and reliability are our top priorities.
Schedule-OnlineWhen hurricane season strikes the Space Coast, reliable backup power isn't a luxury—it's essential protection for your family, your home, and your peace of mind.
Ellington Air Conditioning & Heat brings trusted Generac generator installation and service to Rockledge, Palm Bay, Melbourne, and surrounding Brevard County communities. With a professionally installed Generac whole-house generator, you'll never face another outage without reliable power protecting your family and home.
Keep Your Home Powered During Any Storm
Recent hurricanes remind us how critical backup power truly is. When Hurricane Ian struck Florida as a Category 4 storm in 2022, it left a peak of 2.7 million customers without power, with many experiencing outages lasting a week or longer. In 2024, Hurricane Milton knocked out power to approximately 178,000 FPL customers in Brevard County alone. These aren't isolated events; they're the new reality for Space Coast homeowners.
Power outages create cascading problems that extend far beyond darkness:
- Air conditioning and heating systems stop, leaving your home unbearably hot or cold
- Refrigerators and freezers fail, spoiling hundreds of dollars in food within hours
- Medical equipment that vulnerable family members depend on becomes inoperable
- Security systems go offline, leaving your property exposed during chaotic aftermath
- Communication, lighting, and basic comfort disappear entirely
Our licensed electricians deliver professional solutions that keep your home powered automatically when the grid goes down. Unlike portable generators that require manual startup and fuel management, a whole-house Generac system detects power loss instantly and automatically restores electricity to your entire home within seconds, without any action required from you.
Why Choose a Generac Whole-House Generator?
Generac stands as the industry standard for automatic standby generators, trusted by millions of homeowners nationwide and especially vital for Florida's storm-prone conditions.
A Generac whole-house generator keeps all essential systems running seamlessly. Your HVAC system maintains comfortable temperatures. Your refrigerator preserves food. Lights stay on. Medical devices continue operating. Life continues normally while your neighbors sit in the dark waiting for utility crews to restore power.
Coastal communities like Satellite Beach and areas near Sebastian face additional vulnerabilities from storm surge and flooding that can delay utility crews from accessing damaged infrastructure for days or even weeks.
For homeowners in Edgewater, West Melbourne, and throughout the Space Coast, a Generac whole-house system delivers profound peace of mind. You're not scrambling during a crisis; your home's backup power is ready and automatic, ensuring uninterrupted protection when storms strike.
Our Generac Installation and Service Process
Ellington's comprehensive approach ensures your generator installation proceeds smoothly from initial consultation through final testing and ongoing support.
In-Home Power and Load Assessment
Your Generac installation begins with a thorough evaluation of your home's electrical system and specific power needs. A licensed electrician visits your Rockledge property to assess your current electrical panel, identify which circuits power essential appliances and systems, and calculate your total load requirements. We discuss your priorities (full-home coverage or targeted backup power) and review your property's layout to determine ideal generator placement.
We:
- Evaluate your electrical panel's capacity and condition, identifying if upgrades are needed to safely accommodate generator integration
- Examine fuel source options (propane or natural gas), measuring distances for tank placement or line routing.
- Review local permitting requirements and any site-specific considerations that might affect installation
The result is a complete picture of your needs, constraints, and optimal solution tailored to your home.
Professional Generator Installation
Once you've selected your Generac system, our installation team coordinates every detail.
We secure all necessary permits from the City of Rockledge or Brevard County building departments and prepare detailed site plans, electrical diagrams, and load calculations that satisfy regulatory requirements. Then, we’ll schedule inspections at appropriate milestones to ensure full compliance with Florida Building Code, National Electrical Code, and NFPA standards.
Our electricians install your generator on a properly engineered concrete pad or mounting system, ensuring stability and proper drainage. We connect fuel lines through licensed contractors, route electrical connections safely, and install transfer switches that seamlessly manage power transitions between utility and generator sources.
