Lightning Capital. Hurricane Alley. Florida, Own Your Power. Serving Jacksonville and the surrounding Florida communities with fair, transparent nonprofit pricing.
Jacksonville sits about 172 miles from Tampa, far enough out that it is served on its own utility circuits. That independence cuts both ways: metro outages may miss you entirely, but when your lines go down the repair queue is shorter on customers and longer on miles.
Florida is the lightning capital of the United States and takes more hurricane landfalls than any other state. After Ian, some Fort Myers homes waited 18+ days for power. Florida also enforces the strictest generator installation codes in the country, wind-rated pads, flood elevation, and county-specific rules, which is exactly why equipment should be sized and specified right the first time. For Jacksonville households that means outages arrive with the weather, and restoration on FPL, TECO, and Duke Energy Florida lines follows a queue you do not control. A home standby generator takes your address out of that queue: it detects the outage, starts itself within seconds, and carries the house on natural gas or propane for as long as the grid stays down, whether anyone is home or not.
Most Jacksonville projects land between $9,000 and $16,000 fully installed. The equipment is the larger share, quoted factory-direct across all eight brands we carry, and the balance covers installation by an independent licensed Florida contractor: concrete pad, gas line, automatic transfer switch, electrical work, permits, and commissioning. What moves your number up or down locally is gas line distance, panel condition, and how much of the house you want covered. Because Power Up Generator Solutions is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, there is no sales commission inside that price, which typically runs $2,000 to $4,000 under commissioned dealers on comparable equipment.
If your street has natural gas service, that is almost always the right fuel here: unlimited runtime, no refueling, roughly $3 to $5 an hour under load. Properties outside the gas mains run propane from a 250 or 500 gallon tank, which is good for several days of continuous power. We confirm which applies at your address before quoting so the number is real.
Same pricing, same eight brands, same licensed-installer model across the region:
Single-brand dealers quote the one brand on their sign. We are factory-direct authorized for eight, so your Jacksonville quote compares them side by side and the right machine wins on the numbers:
Most Jacksonville installations run $9,000 to $16,000 fully installed: factory-direct equipment plus installation by an independent licensed Florida contractor covering the pad, gas line, transfer switch, and permits. Our 501(c)(3) nonprofit pricing carries no sales commission, which typically saves $2,000 to $4,000 against for-profit dealers.
Most homes here land in the 22 to 26kW class for whole-home coverage including central air, or 14kW for essentials only. Sizing is free: text POWER and your zip to 816-785-1268.
We supply the equipment factory-direct across all eight major brands and coordinate your project. The installation itself is performed by independent, third-party licensed contractors working in Jacksonville and the surrounding Florida communities, who pull the permits and carry the workmanship warranty.
Routine interruptions on FPL, TECO, and Duke Energy Florida run a few hours, but hurricanes and daily lightning have produced multi-day outages across Florida. A standby generator restores power automatically within seconds and runs as long as the outage does.
Spread the project across monthly payments through Synchrony. We earn no commission on financing, and our nonprofit pricing means less principal to finance in the first place.
We connect Jacksonville homeowners with factory-trained licensed technicians for annual maintenance, repair, and no-start emergencies, on all major brands and regardless of who originally sold the unit. Annual service plans run about $250 to $450 and cover oil and filter, spark plugs, battery load test, transfer switch test, and a full diagnostic. During active outages, phone response is typically within 15 minutes and no-start calls take priority. Most outage failures trace to a dead battery or skipped oil service, and both are same-visit fixes.
