RELIABLE STANDBY POWER FOR MIDLAND HOMES
When the Permian Basin grid goes down in a summer heat wave or a winter ice storm, a standby generator keeps your Midland home running — air conditioning, well pump, refrigerator, and lights come back within seconds, automatically. Hooked Up Electric sizes, installs, and services whole-home standby generators across Midland and Midland County.
From large homes in Green Tree and Saddle Club to rural and oilfield properties on propane, our licensed electricians handle the whole job: load calculation, permits, natural gas or propane hookup, the concrete pad, and the automatic transfer switch. Everything is installed to code and inspected.

WHY A STANDBY GENERATOR
A standby generator is not just a backup — it’s protection for everything that depends on power during a Permian Basin outage. A professionally installed system delivers:
ABOUT HOOKED UP ELECTRIC
Hooked Up Electric is a Texas-licensed electrical contractor serving Midland County and the Permian Basin. Whole-home standby generators are a core service — we size them to your actual loads, install them to the National Electrical Code, and handle the permit and inspection so you don’t have to.
We work on everything from in-town homes on natural gas to rural and oilfield properties that run on propane and depend on a well pump. We’ll tell you honestly what size you need and offer annual maintenance to keep it starting for years.
HOW GENERATOR INSTALLATION WORKS
Step 1 — Load Calculation & Site Assessment. We measure what you actually need to power — AC, well pump, appliances, circuits — and check your fuel source, panel, and the best pad location.
Step 2 — Sizing & Flat-Rate Quote. You get the right kW rating for your home and a written, itemized price covering the unit, transfer switch, gas or propane hookup, pad, and permits.
Step 3 — Professional Installation. Licensed electricians set the unit, wire the automatic transfer switch, connect fuel, pour or set the pad, and pull all permits — installed to code and inspected.
Step 4 — Startup, Testing & Orientation. We commission the unit, run a load test, set the weekly self-exercise, and show you how it works before we leave.

MIDLAND GENERATOR SERVICES
We handle the full standby-generator lifecycle for Midland homes and businesses:
A whole-home standby generator typically runs $9,000 to $15,000 installed, with a common 22kW air-cooled unit on natural gas around $11,000 to $14,000. Propane setups on rural properties add a tank cost. You get a flat-rate, itemized quote before any work — see our whole-house generator cost guide for the full breakdown.
It depends on what you want to keep running — whole-home versus essential loads, plus a well pump and central AC push the size up. Most Midland homes land between 14kW and 24kW. We run a load calculation on site so you don’t over- or under-buy.
If you have natural gas service, that’s usually simplest. Many rural and oilfield properties outside city gas lines run on propane, which needs a tank sized for multi-day outages. We’ll recommend the right fuel for your location.
Yes. We pull all permits, connect the fuel, wire the transfer switch, and coordinate the inspection — the whole job is done to the National Electrical Code.
Most residential standby installs are completed in one to two days on site once the unit and permits are ready, depending on the fuel connection and any panel work.
We install and service standby generators across Midland, Midland County, and the surrounding Permian Basin, including rural and oilfield properties.
