Apopka Outage History

Why Apopka Homeowners Act

Apopka's power comes over Duke Energy's Orange County lines, and those lines have failed on a large scale more than once. Hurricane Ian put 168,890 Duke customers in the county in the dark in September 2022, and Nicole knocked out 34,869 in November. In October 2024 Hurricane Milton cut power to 91,672.

Prices include equipment, in-house installation, transfer switch, permit fees, and our 12-year warranty on every Generac air-cooled unit we install. Where a Lake Apopka Natural Gas 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

Apopka Generator Questions, Answered

Who issues generator permits in Apopka?

The city’s Community Development Services department, on the second floor at 120 East Main Street. Apopka requires every contractor on a permit to be registered with the city, insured for workers’ compensation, and to hold the Orange County competency license for the type of work. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections. You sign the Notice of Commencement and provide a property survey.

Is my Apopka home on Duke Energy?

Inside the city it is: Apopka’s franchise agreement gives Duke Energy the right to serve customers within its jurisdiction. OUC, the City of Winter Park and FPL also report Orange County customers to the state, so an address outside the city could be on another system. Your bill names the utility.

Can my Apopka generator run on natural gas?

Often, yes. The Lake Apopka Natural Gas District, a community-owned utility with more than 30,000 customers in Orange and Lake counties, counts Apopka among its member cities. Where no main reaches the lot, the generator runs on propane from a tank we place. We confirm the fuel at the free estimate.

Will my Apopka HOA want to review the generator?

Many associations do. GenerX puts together the placement drawing, the sound data sheet and the screening plan so the board has what it needs.

How fast can GenerX reach Apopka for repairs?

Technicians reach Apopka from our nearest facility. Our service department answers emergency repair calls around the clock, and after a widespread outage GenerX moves technicians in from other parts of Florida.
