Leesburg Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Leesburg?

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 a City of Leesburg 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
Leesburg Generator Questions, Answered
What does a generator permit cost in Leesburg?
The city’s building fee schedule, effective October 1, 2025, lists a residential generator at $150, plus the 1.5% Florida Building Surcharge and the 1% Florida Recovery Fund fee. Leesburg requires a permit for all wiring, and Building Services takes applications through its online portal, with fees due at submittal. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections. You sign the Notice of Commencement and provide a property survey.
Will Leesburg Electric need a service request for my generator?
Only for certain jobs. If the install changes out the outdoor panel and the meter has to be pulled, or converts the service from overhead to underground, the city’s electric department asks for a service request form, and the building department will not issue that electrical permit without it. Your Field Engineer spots this at the estimate so the request goes in with the permit.
Can my Leesburg generator run on city natural gas?
Where a main reaches your street, yes. The City of Leesburg runs Lake County’s only municipal gas utility, and Peoples Gas also names Leesburg in its tariff. Homes beyond the mains run the generator on propane from a tank on the property; we confirm the fuel at the free estimate.
Does a Leesburg HOA have to sign off on a generator?
Many associations around Leesburg require architectural review first. GenerX puts the packet together for you: placement drawing, sound sheet and screening plan.
How quickly can GenerX get to Leesburg for a repair?
Leesburg service calls run from our nearest facility, with parts stocked at our local facility. Emergency repair is available 24/7, and in a widespread outage our statewide fleet moves into Central Florida.
