How long does generator installation take in View, TX?

Most residential generator installations take one to two days once we have permits in hand. The timeline depends on your electrical panel setup, fuel line requirements, and any concrete pad preparation needed. We handle permit applications beforehand, which typically takes 1-2 weeks for approval. Commercial installations may require additional time based on system complexity and electrical requirements. We’ll give you a clear timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

What size generator do I need for my home?

Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 16-20kW unit handles essential circuits like refrigerator, lights, outlets, and HVAC for most homes. Larger homes or those wanting to power everything typically need 22-26kW systems. We calculate your actual electrical load by reviewing your panel and discussing your priorities. Oversizing wastes money on fuel costs, while undersizing leaves you without power for important items. We’ll recommend the right size based on your specific needs and usage patterns.

Do I need permits for generator installation in View?

Yes, generator installation requires electrical permits and often gas permits depending on your fuel type. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections. The process includes electrical plan review, installation inspection, and final approval before your system can operate legally. Some homeowner associations also have installation guidelines we need to follow. Skipping permits can create problems with insurance claims and home sales later. We make sure everything is properly documented and approved from start to finish.

Can you install generators that run on natural gas?

Yes, we install both natural gas and propane generators throughout View. Natural gas units connect directly to your existing gas line, providing unlimited fuel supply during extended outages. We coordinate with your gas utility for proper line sizing and meter upgrades if needed. Propane systems use large tanks that we help you size and locate properly. Natural gas is often more convenient, while propane gives you fuel independence from utility outages. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option based on your property and preferences.

How much does whole house generator installation cost?

Installation costs vary based on generator size, electrical panel compatibility, fuel line requirements, and site preparation needs. Most residential installations range from $8,000 to $15,000 including equipment, installation, and permits. Factors affecting price include distance from electrical panel, concrete pad requirements, gas line extensions, and transfer switch complexity. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. Financing options are available for qualified customers. The investment typically pays for itself by preventing food spoilage, comfort loss, and business disruption during outages.

What maintenance do generators need after installation?

Standby generators need annual maintenance to ensure reliable operation when you need them. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, battery testing, and system exercising. Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain warranty coverage. We offer maintenance contracts that include scheduled service, priority emergency response, and discounted repair rates. Regular maintenance prevents most emergency breakdowns and extends equipment life significantly. Many customers prefer our maintenance plans because we know their specific installation and can spot potential issues before they become expensive problems.
