Inverness Outage History
Why Inverness Homeowners Act
Inverness has seen Citrus County's grid emptied more than once. In September 2017 Irma knocked out 69,269 accounts countywide, roughly 79%. Seven years later Helene left 22,008 Duke Energy customers in Citrus without service, and within two weeks Milton had 61% of SECO Energy's Citrus members out as well.

Power Outage Profile
The local details that shape your install: who runs the grid, who issues the permit, and which gas partners are in your area.
The city's street light page gives SECO customers one number and Duke Energy customers another. Your bill says which is yours.
The office at 212 W. Main Street permits work inside city limits. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician.
Inverness appears on Florida Public Utilities' tariff for Citrus. Where there is no gas line, a propane tank does the job.
Hurricane Milton cut power to 9,855 of SECO Energy's 16,209 Citrus County members, about 61%, in October 2024.

Inverness Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Inverness?
Whole home installs in the Ocala area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Inverness 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. On an Inverness street with a Florida Public Utilities line, hooking the generator to natural gas usually costs less than setting a propane tank.
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
Inverness Generator Questions, Answered
Who issues generator permits in Inverness?
Inside city limits, the City of Inverness Community Development office at 212 W. Main Street, and both the property owner and the contractor sign the application. Addresses outside the city go to the Citrus County Building Division in Lecanto. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections.
Is Inverness on SECO Energy or Duke Energy?
Both serve the city. Its street light page tells SECO customers to read the pole number to SECO’s outage line and Duke Energy customers to call Duke. Check your bill; the transfer switch we install works with either.
Is natural gas available for a generator in Inverness?
In parts of town. Florida Public Utilities is the gas company named for Inverness on its tariff. If your street has no FPU line, we install a propane tank instead and plan the fuel for a multi day outage.
What knocks out power in Inverness?
Hurricanes coming in off the Gulf. During Irma nearly four in five Citrus County accounts went dark; in 2024 Helene hit Duke Energy’s side of the county and Milton hit SECO’s, about six in ten of its Citrus members.
How fast can GenerX reach Inverness for repairs?
