Power outages don’t just cause inconvenience—they disrupt your home, safety, and daily routine. Power Commissioning provides residential generator installation, maintenance, and repair services across Tampa Bay and Central Florida, giving homeowners dependable backup power when it matters most.
We help you choose the right generator, evaluate your electrical system, and install the necessary equipment for safe and reliable operation. Every system is designed and installed with a focus on code compliance, performance, and long-term reliability.
From new installations to ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting, our goal is simple: keep your home powered, protected, and prepared for any outage.
Generator Installation
We install residential standby generators for homes of all sizes. Our process includes system sizing, electrical integration, and coordination with fuel sources to ensure your generator operates safely and reliably.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Installation
We install and configure automatic transfer switches that seamlessly transfer power from utility to generator during outages, ensuring minimal interruption to your home.
Electrical Panel Evaluation & Upgrades
Not all electrical systems are ready for generator integration. We evaluate your panel capacity and upgrade equipment as needed to support safe generator operation.
Generator Maintenance & Service Plans
Routine maintenance is critical to ensure your generator performs when needed. We offer scheduled inspections, testing, and servicing to keep your system in peak condition.
Troubleshooting & Repairs
If your generator is not starting, running inconsistently, or showing faults, we diagnose and repair the issue to restore reliable operation.
Load Assessment & Generator Sizing
We evaluate your home’s electrical load to recommend the correct generator size, ensuring you have sufficient power without overspending on unnecessary capacity.
Fuel System Coordination (Gas/Propane)
We coordinate with fuel providers to ensure your generator has a reliable fuel source, whether natural gas or propane.
Code Compliance & Permit Support
We ensure installations meet applicable electrical codes and assist with permit requirements when needed.
- 1. Site Evaluation
We begin with a detailed evaluation of your home’s electrical system, service capacity, and installation location. This includes reviewing your main panel, available space for the generator, and identifying the best placement for safe and efficient operation. We also consider accessibility, ventilation, and code requirements to ensure a proper installation from the start.
- 2. Load Assessment & System Design
Every home has different power needs. We perform a load assessment to determine which circuits and appliances you want backed up and calculate the appropriate generator size. This ensures your system delivers reliable performance without oversizing or unnecessary cost.
- 3. Scope of Work & Estimate
Based on the evaluation and system design, we provide a clear scope of work outlining the installation details, equipment, and any required upgrades. You will receive a transparent estimate so you understand exactly what is included before moving forward.
- 4. Professional Installation
Our team installs the generator, transfer switch (manual or automatic), and all required electrical components. We ensure proper wiring methods, grounding, bonding, and overcurrent protection are in place. Coordination with the fuel supply (natural gas or propane) is also included to ensure the system is fully operational.
- 5. Testing, Verification & Commissioning
Once installation is complete, we perform functional testing to verify the system operates as intended. This includes simulating power loss conditions, verifying transfer switch operation, and confirming the generator performs properly under load.
- 6. Customer Walkthrough
After installation and testing, we walk you through the system step-by-step. We explain how the generator operates during outages, basic maintenance requirements, and what to expect during normal operation so you feel confident using your system.
