JB’s Contracting & Maintenance — veteran-owned, Marianna FL

When a storm knocks out the power here, a whole home generator keeps your house running. First, it protects the essentials — your AC, refrigerator, well pump, and any medical equipment. Then it does it automatically, so you are not out in the wind flipping a portable unit. Because we are veteran-owned and local to Marianna, we size, install, and service whole home generator systems across all five counties we serve.

What we install and service

We handle the whole job. So that means load-sizing your home, setting the transfer switch, running the propane or natural-gas connection, and testing the automatic start. In addition, we tie the system safely into your electrical panel and can pair it with storm roof prep for full hurricane readiness. Plus, our HomeCare members get scheduled generator checks so it actually starts when you need it.

Total HomeCare Plan — $16.99/month
Members get priority scheduling, a reduced dispatch fee, and seasonal maintenance that keeps small problems small. It is the easy way to stay ahead of NW Florida’s weather.

Why it matters in Northwest Florida

Our stretch of the Panhandle takes direct hits from summer storms and hurricanes, and outages can last days. So a whole home generator is not a luxury here — it is peace of mind. Also, every install is done to the 2023 Florida Building Code. For storm-readiness basics, Ready.gov is a solid reference. In short, when the grid goes down, your home stays up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big a generator do I need?
It depends on what you want to run. First we calculate your home’s load, then we recommend a unit that covers your essentials or your whole house. We never oversell you a bigger unit than you need.
Whole-home or portable?
A portable runs a few items and needs you to set it up in the storm. A whole home generator starts automatically and powers the house. For most families here, automatic is worth it.
Does it run on propane or natural gas?
Either. We connect to whatever fuel your home has and size the supply so the unit runs through a long outage.
Will you maintain it after install?
Yes. Because a generator only helps if it starts, our HomeCare members get scheduled checks and test runs so it is ready before the next storm.
How fast does it come on?
A standby unit senses the outage and starts within seconds, so your AC and refrigerator barely notice.
