How is a standby generator different from a portable generator?
A standby generator is permanently installed, connected to your home's fuel supply, and starts automatically. A portable generator must be manually started, requires gasoline, and can only power selected appliances via extension cords. Standby generators are significantly safer — portable generators cause hundreds of carbon monoxide deaths annually when improperly used indoors or in garages.
How far from my house does a standby generator need to be installed in Port St. Lucie?
Per NFPA 37 and the City of Port St. Lucie permitting guide, generators must be installed at least 5 feet from any building openings (windows, doors) and at least 5 feet from combustible walls. They may not be placed within any easement or within 5 feet of a septic drain field.
What fuel source is best for a standby generator in Port St. Lucie?
Natural gas is the most convenient option if your home is connected to FPL's gas service, as the supply is uninterrupted during storms. Propane is the best option for homes without natural gas service — a 500-gallon tank provides approximately 7–10 days of whole-home runtime depending on load.
