If your Orlando home has natural gas service through TECO Peoples Gas—which covers most of metro Orlando including the City of Orlando, Winter Park, Winter Garden, Altamonte Springs, and most suburban Orange and Seminole county addresses—natural gas is almost always the better choice. Natural gas generators have unlimited runtime (no tank to refill), require no storage permits, and cost less long-term because you pay utility rates instead of delivered propane.
Propane is the right choice for Orlando-area homes outside TECO’s service area—typically rural Orange County, parts of Osceola, and some Lake County addresses. A whole home propane setup typically requires a 500 to 1,000 gallon tank. During your free GenerX estimate, we confirm natural gas availability at your specific address and walk through both options.
