Home Generators — Installation & Repair — Houston, TX

Why a generator (Houston use cases)

Storms, heat, and long repair windows can make outages more than an inconvenience. A correctly installed system keeps essentials on—refrigeration, network, medical devices, sump, select HVAC—without extension-cord spaghetti. We’ll match the solution to your home and budget, from portable generator hookups to whole-home standby systems.

Standby installation & replacements

Looking for a low-touch solution that starts itself? A standby generator (with automatic transfer switch) can power selected circuits or your whole home.

• Right-sizing for your priorities (kitchen, office, primary suite, circulation air, etc.)
• New installs & replacements of aging units with more efficient models
• Concrete pad, clearances, exhaust direction, and sound considerations
• Gas line/electrical coordination and permit handling
• Startup testing and homeowner orientation

If your existing unit isn’t worth fixing, we’ll price a generator replacement side-by-side with repair so you can choose with confidence.

Transfer switches & interlocks

Safe switching is everything. We install manual and automatic transfer switches as well as interlock kits that let a portable generator feed selected circuits without backfeeding the grid.

• Panel-mounted interlocks matched to your breaker model
• Manual transfer switches for essential circuits (simple and reliable)
• Automatic transfer switches paired with standby generators
• Clear labeling and a quick-start card so anyone in the home can operate it

Unsure which approach fits? We’ll recommend the safest, simplest setup for your panel and goals.

Generator repair & maintenance

If your generator won’t start, surges, or trips under load, we can help. Our generator repair in Houston covers:

• No-start diagnostics (battery, fuel, controller)
• Voltage/frequency irregularities and load issues
• Transfer switch faults and control wiring
• Routine service: oil/filter, plugs, and test-runs on schedule

We’ll get you back to reliable—and note any parts nearing end-of-life so you’re not surprised later.

Sizing, load management & panel work

Backup power is about priorities and realism. We’ll map what you want running and size accordingly.

• Load calculation for essential circuits vs. whole-home coverage
• Load-shed strategies so the generator isn’t overtaxed
• Panel updates or subpanel for “generator-ready” circuits
• Space planning for the transfer switch and breaker positions
• If service capacity is the bottleneck, we’ll pair with a service upgrade (see Service Upgrades) and coordinate any required permits

Pricing & timelines

• Upfront, itemized pricing for hookup, switchgear, and any panel/service work
• Typical timelines: portable hookups and manual switches are quick; standby installs include permits and utility/gas coordination
• Clear expectations for noise, pad placement, and maintenance intervals
