FKEC makes it easy! First, call FKEC Member Service to determine if you are eligible for a loan. If you qualify, you can contact a Generac® service installer to guide you through the process. FKEC can provide you the contact information for qualifying installers serving the Upper and Middle Keys. Note: To receive the FKEC loan your standby generator must be installed by a Generac® certified service installer.
Next, the installer will schedule a free assessment at your home or small-commercial business to evaluate your backup power needs, explain installation, choose an acceptable location, and select a maintenance plan (required for the life of the loan). The dealer will then provide you with a written proposal to include:
- Generator, Transfer Switch, Mounting Pad or Platform
- Propane tank and establishment of service with local propane supplier (if not already established)
- Required permitting fees
- Site preparation for the generator mounting pad or platform
- Propane and electrical connections
- Maintenance Plan
Once your generator is installed you will receive the following:
- An outage simulation to confirm everything works as it should
- Help with setting up the weekly self-test to ensure the system continues to function properly
