How long does generator installation take in Tankersley?

Most residential generator installations take one to two days, depending on the complexity of your electrical setup and whether gas lines need to be run. Commercial installations can take longer based on the system size and electrical requirements. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after evaluating your specific property. Weather can sometimes delay outdoor work, but we’ll keep you informed of any schedule changes and work efficiently to get your backup power system running as quickly as possible.
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 20kW unit typically handles most homes including HVAC, appliances, and lighting. Larger homes or those with electric heat may need 24kW or bigger systems. We’ll calculate your actual power needs by looking at your electrical panel, discussing your priorities, and considering factors like air conditioning load and well pumps. Getting the size right is crucial – too small and you won’t have enough power, too large and you’re spending money unnecessarily.
Yes, generator installations require electrical permits in most Texas jurisdictions, and Hooked up Electric handles all the permitting for you. This includes electrical permits for the transfer switch and wiring, plus any gas line permits if needed. We know local code requirements and make sure everything passes inspection the first time. Trying to skip permits or doing unpermitted work can cause problems with insurance claims and home sales later, so it’s always worth doing it right from the start.
Generator installation costs vary based on the system size, electrical work required, and site conditions. Residential installations typically range from $8,000 to $15,000 including equipment and installation. Factors that affect pricing include distance from your electrical panel, whether gas lines need to be run, concrete work required, and local permit fees. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for without surprises.
Standby generators need regular maintenance just like your car – oil changes, filter replacements, and periodic inspections to ensure reliable operation. Most manufacturers recommend service every six months or after a certain number of operating hours. Basic maintenance includes checking oil levels, testing the battery, inspecting connections, and running the system under load. Many homeowners prefer professional maintenance to keep warranties valid and catch potential issues before they become problems during an actual power outage.
Yes, properly sized whole house generators can power your entire home including air conditioning, appliances, lighting, and outlets. The automatic transfer switch seamlessly switches your home from utility power to generator power within seconds of detecting an outage. You can run your refrigerator, keep your HVAC system operating, use lights and electronics, and maintain your normal routine. The key is proper sizing and installation – that’s why professional assessment and installation matter so much for reliable whole house backup power.
