Many communities in Central Florida are severely affected by severe summer thunderstorms, tropical systems and other grid instabilities resulting in extended power outages affecting millions of people in the I-4 corridor and Florida’s coastal regions. When the power is out for an extended period of time, it is imperative to have a quality electrical contractor that is able to perform power transfer as well as fuel system installation and repair in order to keep businesses running at optimal levels. In addition to these services, the contractor must also be able to comply with all applicable building codes as well as electrical codes.

Generator Types & Common Electrical Repairs
A wide variety of generators are used to supply power in the many residential homes and smaller commercial businesses found throughout the Deltona area.

As with just about all large standby generators there are occasional failures of items such as contactors within the ATS as well as of items such as the battery charger(s) (typically failing due to excessive heat that has gone unaddressed for long time).

3. Sanford: Industrial Parks, Logistics, and Waterfront Commerce
Sanford: Industrial Parks, Logistics, and Waterfront Commerce – Sanford is a transportation and commercial hub located in the heart of Seminole County. It is a key location along the St. Johns River and has a long history of waterfront commerce. With many industrial parks, including those designated for logistics and distribution, and a growing number of small businesses, there are many commercial properties that will require generator systems. Below are listed several key communities in Sanford:
- Lake Monroe Waterfront District
- Historic Sanford Residential Enclave
- Mayfair
Generator Types & Industrial Infrastructure
Industrial/Commercial Generator Systems: Most of the commercial and waterfront properties throughout Sanford use three-phase diesel or natural gas generators for backup power. Most units are of heavy duty standby variety (30 kW to 150 kW) and require a considerable amount of setup and possible additional components such as step-down transformers and motorized utility interlocks. There are several repairs that the industrial/commercial generator electricians encounter on a regular basis. Some of the more common repairs are for saltwater-damaged control boards and for block heaters that have failed. These heat components are very important for the auto-start function of the generator to operate during cold weather.
4. Daytona Beach: Coastal Hospitality, Retail, and Commercial Enclaves
The City of Daytona Beach and the surrounding areas are filled with hotels, shops and other retail establishments. This is a very high density area of commercial properties. The local communities and neighborhoods within the City of Daytona Beach are:
- Indialantic / Beachside Corridor
- Pelican Bay
- Grand Pointe
Generator Types & Coastal Protections
Within Daytona Beach, hotels, retail establishments and homes utilize generators rated for marine environments that are totally enclosed in aluminum housing. The salt air from the ocean causes rapid oxidation of the generator end brackets and terminal points, commonly leading to wiring harness and stator winding failure requiring re-insulation. In addition, many of the new generator installations within these areas require elevated equipment platforms to ensure that the generator will be above flood stage when in operation.
