Hear from Our Customers
You know how it goes in Merkel. Storm rolls through, power goes out, and suddenly you’re dealing with spoiled food, uncomfortable temperatures, and dead phones. A properly installed standby generator changes all that.
When the grid fails, your generator kicks in automatically within seconds. Your refrigerator keeps running. Your air conditioner or heater maintains comfortable temperatures. Your security system stays active. Your garage door still opens.
No more scrambling for flashlights or extension cords. No more wondering if your medications will stay cold enough. No more losing a day’s work because your home office went dark. Your backup generator installation means your routine continues uninterrupted, regardless of what’s happening with the power lines down the street.
Hooked up Electric has been handling electrical work in Merkel and Taylor County for years. We understand how unpredictable Texas weather can be and how critical reliable power is for families and businesses in our area.
Every generator installation we do follows strict electrical codes and manufacturer specifications. Our electricians are licensed in Texas and experienced with both residential and commercial backup power systems. We’ve seen what happens when installations are done wrong, which is why we take the time to do it right the first time.
When you work with Hooked up Electric, you’re working with electricians who live in the same community and deal with the same weather challenges you do.
The process starts with evaluating your property and power needs. We assess your electrical panel, determine the best location for your generator, and calculate what size unit will handle your essential circuits or whole house needs.
Next comes the installation itself. This includes setting the generator on a proper concrete pad, running the electrical connections to your main panel, installing the automatic transfer switch, and connecting the natural gas or propane fuel line. All work meets local electrical codes and manufacturer requirements.
After installation, the system gets tested to ensure everything operates correctly. You’ll get a walkthrough of how your new backup generator works, including basic maintenance requirements. The goal is making sure you’re completely comfortable with your new system before we leave your property.
