Power That Works When Yours Doesn't

You know how it goes in Texas. The storm hits, the power goes out, and suddenly you’re dealing with spoiled food, dead phones, and a house that’s either too hot or too cold. Your neighbors are scrambling for ice and trying to find somewhere to charge their devices.

But not you. Your generator kicked in automatically, and life just keeps going. The refrigerator hums along, the air conditioning keeps running, and your family stays comfortable and safe. No dragging a portable generator out of the garage, no trips to buy gas, no carbon monoxide worries.

That’s what a professionally installed standby generator does. It sits outside your home, connected to your natural gas line or propane tank, waiting for the moment your power goes out. When it does, the generator starts automatically and powers your essential systems or your entire home, depending on what you choose.

Home Generator Installation Process

From Assessment to Automatic Power Protection

First, we come out to assess your home’s power needs and the best location for your generator. We’ll look at your electrical panel, gas lines, and discuss what you want to keep running during an outage. Some people want whole house coverage, others just want the essentials covered.

Next, we handle the permits and order your generator. We coordinate with the gas company if needed for gas line work, and we schedule the installation around your timeline. The actual installation typically takes a full day, depending on the complexity of your setup.

We connect the generator to your electrical panel through a transfer switch, run the gas line, pour a concrete pad if needed, and test everything thoroughly. Before we leave, we’ll walk you through how the system works and what to expect during an outage. We also handle the final inspection to make sure everything meets local codes.

Residential Generator Installation Options

Complete Installation From Start to Finish

Your generator installation includes everything needed to get you up and running. We handle the electrical connections, transfer switch installation, gas line work, concrete pad preparation, and all required permits and inspections.

You’ll get a system that automatically monitors your power 24/7. When the power goes out, your generator starts within seconds and begins powering your selected circuits or your entire home. When utility power returns, the generator automatically shuts down and switches you back to grid power.

We work with major generator brands and can install systems ranging from smaller units that power your essential circuits to whole house generators that keep everything running. The choice depends on your budget, your power needs, and your home’s electrical setup. We’ll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your situation.

How long does generator installation take in Wingate, TX?

Most residential generator installations take one full day once we have all permits and materials ready. The timeline from start to finish is usually 2-3 weeks, which includes permit processing, scheduling gas line work if needed, and coordinating inspections. We handle all the scheduling and coordination so you don’t have to chase down different contractors or deal with permit offices. Weather can sometimes delay outdoor work, but we’ll keep you updated on any changes to the schedule.
Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A smaller 10-12kW unit can handle essentials like refrigerator, some lights, furnace blower, and a few outlets. A 20kW generator can power most of your home including air conditioning. Whole house generators typically range from 20-24kW for most homes. We’ll calculate your actual power needs during our assessment by looking at your electrical panel and discussing your priorities. It’s better to size correctly from the start than to wish you had more power during the next outage.
Yes, generator installation requires electrical permits and sometimes gas permits depending on your setup. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections as part of our installation service. The permits ensure your installation meets local codes and safety requirements, which is important for insurance coverage and resale value. Some homeowners try to skip permits, but that can create problems later when you try to sell your home or file an insurance claim.
Whole house generator installation typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the generator size, electrical work needed, gas line requirements, and site preparation. Smaller standby generators that power essential circuits start around $5,000 installed. The investment pays for itself over time when you consider the cost of spoiled food, hotel stays during extended outages, and the peace of mind of having reliable backup power. We provide detailed quotes that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Standby generators need annual maintenance similar to your car or HVAC system. This includes changing the oil, replacing air and oil filters, checking battery connections, and testing the system under load. Most manufacturers recommend professional maintenance every year or after 200 hours of operation. We offer maintenance service plans that include annual tune-ups and priority service if you ever have issues. Regular maintenance keeps your generator reliable and maintains your warranty coverage.
Yes, we install generators that run on either natural gas or propane. Propane is often the better choice in rural areas where natural gas isn’t available. Propane generators are just as reliable as natural gas units and propane doesn’t degrade over time like gasoline. You’ll need a propane tank sized appropriately for your generator – typically 250-500 gallons for residential installations. We can coordinate propane tank installation and gas line work as part of your generator installation project.
