Generator installation in Captiva needs a placement decision as well as a load calculation. The Captiva Island Fire Control District specifically warns owners to review mounting surfaces and manufacturer requirements after an improperly installed generator caused a fire on Upper Captiva. Ask Bo’s Generators or Gen-Power to show the proposed support, nearby building openings and service access as part of the installation plan.
The fire district calls for a non-combustible mounting surface and directs owners and contractors to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable installation requirements. Have the installer explain the arrangement for the selected model; do not copy a neighboring installation or rely on a generic clearance diagram as the complete design.
Bo’s describes elevated platform projects and assistance with association review. Gen-Power evaluates electrical loads, fuel availability, placement and association requirements, with propane tanks and longer fuel runs quoted after assessment. Request a breakdown that identifies support work, transfer switch, fuel work, startup and ongoing maintenance.

Resolve its design during planning. Captiva’s fire district emphasizes the mounting surface, and the selected model’s instructions must inform the installed arrangement.
