SAFE, RELIABLE STANDBY POWER FOR YOUR HOME

Generator Installation in San Angelo, TX

When a West Texas storm or grid failure cuts the power, a standby generator keeps your lights, HVAC, refrigerators, well pump, and medical equipment running — automatically, with no extension cords and no trips outside in the weather. Hooked Up Electric designs and installs complete standby systems for San Angelo homes and businesses from our office at 17 S Chadbourne St downtown.

We handle the whole project: load calculation and sizing, whole-home versus essential-circuit planning, transfer switch selection, natural gas or propane hookup, pad placement with proper clearances, permits and inspections, and clean electrical tie-in with a dedicated breaker. Several San Angelo HOAs expect side-yard placement and low-decibel units — we help you pick equipment and a location that satisfies both the neighborhood rules and the code.

RELIABLE BACKUP POWER DONE RIGHT

What You Gain with Professional Installation

A professionally installed standby system starts on its own, carries the loads that matter, and protects your equipment — because the fuel, electrical, and code details were engineered, not guessed. Here’s what that looks like:

Right-Sized Equipment: A detailed load calculation matches the generator to your real-world demand — no underpowered unit, no overpaying for capacity you won’t use.
Clear Cost Choices: We price whole-home coverage against essential-circuit backup side by side, so you pick the protection level that fits your budget.
Warranty Protection: Manufacturer-approved mounting, wiring, and fuel connections keep your equipment warranty intact.
Compliance Handled: Permits, inspections, and any utility or HOA coordination are managed for you, start to finish.
Proven Before We Leave: Every system is tested under load, and we walk you through exactly how the transfer switch behaves in an outage.
Ready for the Next Storm: Maintenance and service plans keep your standby power ready year after year.

ABOUT HOOKED UP ELECTRIC

Texas Standby Generator Experts You Can Trust

Hooked Up Electric is a Texas-licensed electrical contractor with a staffed San Angelo office. Our crew handles every part of a standby power project — sizing and design, transfer switch wiring, gas line coordination, and panel tie-in — to the current National Electrical Code and local inspection practices, correctly the first time.

We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Tom Green County and the Concho Valley. Many projects bundle standby power with panel upgrades or exterior lighting in one visit; we’ll give you honest advice about what’s worth doing together and what isn’t.

HOW OUR GENERATOR INSTALLATION WORKS

From Sizing to Startup in Four Steps

Step 1 — Consultation & Sizing. We visit your property, inspect the panel, and talk through how you want to live during an outage. Key loads — HVAC, refrigeration, well pump, home office, medical equipment — go into a real load calculation, and we lay out whole-home versus essential-circuit options.

Step 2 — Proposal, Permits & Scheduling. You get a written scope naming the generator model, transfer switch type, pad location, and any panel work, with a flat-rate price. We pull the permits and handle utility or HOA coordination before work starts.

Step 3 — Installation Day. We set the pad, place the unit with proper clearances and ventilation, run the natural gas or propane connection, mount the transfer equipment, and complete the tie-in with a dedicated breaker, correct conductors, grounding, and surge protection.

Step 4 — Startup, Testing & Orientation. We simulate an outage, verify clean transfer to generator power and back, and confirm every selected circuit behaves as designed. Then we cover operation, warranty registration, and maintenance options before we leave.

WHAT’S INCLUDED WITH A PROFESSIONAL INSTALL

Scope Options and Code Requirements, Made Clear

A dependable standby system is more than a generator beside the house — it’s a designed package covering electrical, gas, placement, and safety. Your written scope spells out how all of it fits together:

Load Calculation & Sizing: Whole-home coverage compared against essential-circuit backup, priced side by side.
Fuel & Gas Piping: Natural gas or propane, with line sizing and regulator selection from the meter or tank to the unit.
Transfer Switch Options: Automatic or manual transfer equipment matched to your panel and future expansion plans.
Electrical Interconnection: Dedicated generator breaker, proper grounding, whole-home surge protection options, and panel upgrades when needed.
Pad & Placement Planning: Clearances, ventilation, noise, and setback requirements — secure, quiet, and code-compliant.
Permits & Orientation: Permit paperwork, inspection scheduling, startup testing under load, homeowner walkthrough, and warranty registration.

How much does generator installation cost in San Angelo, TX?

Cost depends on generator size, fuel type, trenching distance, and whether your panel or gas system needs upgrades. You get a written flat-rate quote listing equipment, labor, and permits, with whole-home and essential-circuit options priced side by side. Call (325) 249-6600 for a free consultation.

What size standby generator do I need?

It depends on whether you want the whole home covered or just priority loads like HVAC, the well pump, refrigeration, and medical devices. We run a load calculation on your actual equipment during the visit — including motor starting currents — and present sized options so you can balance comfort, cost, and fuel use.

Do you install natural gas and propane generators in San Angelo?

Yes, both. We size the gas line, select the regulator, and route the fuel connection safely from the meter or tank to the pad. We’ll also talk through fuel availability and typical outage lengths in the area so you choose the source that fits your property.

Do I need a permit, and do you handle it?

Almost every permanent standby system needs a permit because it involves fixed wiring, gas connections, and a transfer switch. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure everything passes — that’s included in the scope.

What’s the difference between an automatic and a manual transfer switch?

An automatic transfer switch senses the outage, starts the generator, and shifts your circuits over by itself — power returns in seconds even when you’re not home. A manual switch costs less but requires you to operate it by hand. We explain the trade-offs during the consultation.

Can my generator power central AC and a well pump?

Usually yes, if those motor loads are included in the original sizing. Large motors draw several times their running current at startup, so we account for starting loads in the calculation to make sure the unit carries your AC and water without tripping or overloading.
