Shalimar Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Shalimar?
Whole home installs in the Destin area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Shalimar homes land.
Essential circuits (lights, fridge, AC unit)
Most homes under 3,000 sq ft (full house)
Larger homes, multiple HVAC zones
Large homes, home offices, medical equipment
Prices include equipment, in-house installation, transfer switch, permit fees, and our 12-year warranty on every Generac air-cooled unit we install. Where an Okaloosa Gas District main reaches your street, a natural gas connection typically adds minimal cost compared with a propane tank installation.
Because GenerX employs all labor in-house, we eliminate the third-party markup that drives up installation costs elsewhere. Our buying volume as Florida’s largest dealer means we get better equipment pricing than smaller dealers. The result: a higher-quality installation at a more competitive price, not a trade-off.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shalimar Generator Questions, Answered
Is my Shalimar address inside the town?
Not always. The county’s permit guide lists the Town of Shalimar’s streets, and some are split: only even numbers on Old Ferry Road are in town, for example. Addresses outside the list are unincorporated Okaloosa County. We check yours before filing.
What permits does a Shalimar generator need?
Inside the town, a Town of Shalimar permit comes first, then Okaloosa County Growth Management issues the building permit and inspects. Outside the town, only the county permit applies. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
Who supplies electricity and gas in Shalimar?
FPL lists Shalimar in its tariff, and Okaloosa Gas District lists it among its communities. If a gas main serves your street the generator can use it; if not, it runs on a propane tank.
Will my Shalimar HOA need to sign off?
Where an association has architectural rules, it will want to see the plan. We give the board the site plan, sound rating and screening details it asks for.
How long does GenerX take to reach Shalimar?
Shalimar is covered from our nearest facility, with parts stocked at our local facility. Repairs are booked 24/7, and in a widespread outage technicians from our other Florida locations come in too.
