Be Ready for Outages With a Standby Generator
Prepare your home for power outages with funding for a standby generator through the Florida PACE Program. Get started with no upfront costs and fixed payments built into your property taxes.
Why Should You Consider a Standby Generator?
Power outages can disrupt daily life, affect comfort and safety, and leave you without your everyday essentials. A standby generator helps keep your home running when the grid goes down, giving you a more reliable way to stay prepared through storms and unexpected outages.
Provides Uninterrupted Power
Keeps essential appliances and systems running during outages.
Activates Automatically
Turns on when the power goes out, so there’s no need to start it manually.
Supports Peace of Mind
Helps homeowners stay prepared through storm season and unexpected outages.
Helps Reduce Disruption
May help reduce issues tied to spoiled food, flooding and other outage-related problems.
Makes Long Outages Easier to Manage
Helps your household stay safer and more comfortable when power is out for hours or days.
How Florida PACE Can Help
Florida PACE helps eligible property owners move forward with home improvement projects without a large upfront payment. Here’s how you can get started:
- Check whether your property may qualify for Florida PACE funding.
- Choose an approved contractor for your standby generator project.
- Confirm the scope of your standby generator project with that contractor.
- Complete the approval process and install your generator with fixed payments added to your property tax bill over time.
Who Qualifies for Florida PACE Funding?
Qualification starts with location. Before a property can move forward, Florida PACE must be available in the county or city where the property is located. From there, qualification depends on property-based requirements rather than a traditional minimum credit score alone.
In general, Florida PACE may be a fit for property owners who:
- Live in a county or city where Florida PACE is available
- Own the property that needs improvement
- Have at least 10% equity in the property
- Are current on property taxes
- Are planning an eligible generator project for a residential property
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a standby generator instead of a portable generator?
A standby generator turns on automatically when the power goes out and can help keep your essential systems running. For many homeowners, it also provides a more convenient long-term backup power solution.
Can Florida PACE help me fund a standby generator?
Florida PACE may help eligible homeowners fund a qualifying standby generator project. Availability depends first on whether PACE is offered where you live, and then on whether your property and project meet the program requirements.
How do I know if Florida PACE is available in my area?
You can check our service areas here. Enter your county to see whether Florida PACE is available where your property is located, since availability depends on local participation.
Do I need a minimum credit score to get started?
At Florida PACE, we don’t assess qualification based on a minimum credit score. Instead, the process looks at property-related factors such as equity and payment history.
How do payments work?
Payments are fixed and added to your property tax bill over time, making it easier to move forward without a high upfront cost.
