Sanford Outage History
Why Sanford Homeowners Act
Sanford sits on two grids, and Hurricane Ian took down both in September 2022: FPL had 35,720 Seminole County customers out at the peak and Duke Energy 108,163. When Hurricane Milton came through in October 2024, another 29,980 FPL customers in the county lost power.

Sanford Pricing
What Does a Generator Cost in Sanford?
Whole home installs in the Orlando area typically run $7,000 to $25,000+. Here's where most Sanford 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 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
Sanford Generator Questions, Answered
Does Sanford have a separate permit for generators?
Yes. Sanford’s Building Division lists a Generator Permit among its permit types, next to its gas permit, and every application goes through the Citizenserve online portal; the city no longer accepts paper applications or plans. GenerX pulls the permit with a licensed electrician and schedules the inspections. You sign the Notice of Commencement and provide a property survey.
Is Sanford on FPL or Duke Energy?
Parts of the city are on each. During Hurricane Milton the City of Sanford told residents to report outages to their own provider and listed numbers for both Duke Energy and FPL, and FPL’s tariff names Sanford among the Seminole County communities it serves. Your electric bill shows which you have; the transfer switch works with either.
Can a Sanford generator run on natural gas?
Florida Public Utilities includes Sanford in its Seminole County gas service area, so a home on one of its mains can use natural gas. Off the main, the generator runs from a propane tank on the property, and the free estimate settles which.
Do Sanford HOAs review generator installs?
Most associations want to see the plan first. GenerX sends the board the site plan, the unit’s sound rating and how it will be screened.
How fast can GenerX reach Sanford for repairs?
Sanford is covered from our nearest facility. Repair calls are taken 24/7, and after a large outage GenerX brings in technicians from its other Florida locations.
