Okeechobee Outage History
Why Okeechobee Homeowners Act
Being inland is no shield. Hurricane Ian crossed the peninsula in September 2022 and took out power to 15,270 of FPL's 20,480 Okeechobee County customers, roughly three in four, plus 2,226 of Glades Electric Cooperative's 2,452. Two years on, Hurricane Milton cut power to 7,020 FPL customers in the county.

Okeechobee Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Okeechobee?
Whole home installs in the Port Saint Lucie area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Okeechobee 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 a Florida Public Utilities 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
Okeechobee Generator Questions, Answered
Who issues generator permits in Okeechobee?
Inside city limits, the City of Okeechobee Building Department at City Hall on SE 3rd Avenue, which accepts applications in person, by fax or by mail, not online. Beyond city limits, the Okeechobee County Building Department. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections. The Notice of Commencement and the property survey are yours to provide.
Is my Okeechobee home on FPL or Glades Electric?
That depends on the address, since both serve the county: about 20,700 customers are on FPL and about 2,600 on Glades Electric Cooperative. Your Field Engineer confirms the utility feeding the home before sizing the transfer switch.
Is natural gas available at my Okeechobee address?
In parts of the area. Florida Public Utilities serves Okeechobee and unincorporated Okeechobee County with natural gas; homes past the mains use a propane tank, and the free estimate confirms it.
Will my Okeechobee HOA allow a whole home generator?
If your community has an HOA, it will likely want architectural approval. We prepare the board’s packet, including the site drawing, sound sheet and screening plan.
How fast can GenerX reach Okeechobee for repairs?
We serve Okeechobee from our nearest facility. Repairs run 24/7, and a large outage sends the statewide fleet to the Treasure Coast.
