Permanently installed standby generators — sized with a real load calculation, wired to an automatic transfer switch, fed by your gas line, permitted and inspected. No extension cords. No gas cans. No 3 a.m. trip to the garage in a hurricane.
We install and service Generac, Kohler, Cummins and Briggs & Stratton standby systems.
A portable generator is not a bad thing to own. It's just a very different product from what most people picture when they say "I want a generator for the house."
Between Gulf hurricanes, derechos, ice storms and summer demand peaks, Montgomery County loses power in more than one season a year — and the outages that follow a major storm are measured in days, not hours.
Even inland at Shenandoah, a landfalling storm strips transmission and distribution lines. Restoration is prioritized by customer count, and residential streets are near the end of that list.
February 2021 was the reminder. When the grid is short on generation in a hard freeze, outages are long, and they arrive exactly when your house has no heat and your pipes are at risk.
August heat pushes the grid and local equipment to their limits. In a Texas summer, a house with no AC becomes genuinely dangerous for older adults and infants within hours.
Sizing, gas, electrical, permitting, commissioning and service — one accountable crew instead of three subcontractors pointing at each other.
We measure what your house actually draws — AC compressors, well pump, range, pool equipment — instead of guessing from square footage and overselling you 4,000 watts you'll never use.
Pad set, unit placed to code clearances, and positioned so it doesn't roar under your bedroom window or violate your HOA's setback rules. Generac, Kohler, Cummins, Briggs & Stratton.
The piece that makes it automatic. Wired into your panel, it senses the outage, isolates from the utility (critical — backfeed kills linemen), and starts the generator in seconds.
Natural gas or propane, sized for the unit's demand. If your existing meter can't supply the flow, we coordinate the utility upsize — the step that quietly delays half the installs in this area.
Electrical permit, gas permit, city inspection, and HOA submittal where required. We pull them. You don't chase paperwork or discover an unpermitted install when you go to sell.
Annual oil, filter, plugs and battery. The number one reason a standby generator fails mid-hurricane is a dead battery on a unit nobody has touched in three years. We service what we install — and what we didn't.
Shenandoah, Oak Ridge North and unincorporated Montgomery County each handle this a little differently. Here's the path.
We walk the property, open the panel, look at the gas meter, measure distances, and check HOA and setback constraints. Then we tell you what size unit your house actually needs — and what it will cost, itemized.
Electrical permit and gas permit pulled with the correct jurisdiction. If your neighborhood has an architectural committee, we prepare the placement and screening submittal. This is the step that most "cheap" installers skip — and it surfaces at closing when you sell.
Composite or poured pad set to code clearance from windows, doors and the property line. Unit placed, gas line run and pressure tested by a licensed plumber, meter upsized with the utility if needed.
Automatic transfer switch installed and wired by a licensed electrician, with utility isolation verified. Whole-home or managed-load configuration depending on the sizing we agreed on.
City inspection passed, unit commissioned and load-tested under a simulated outage, weekly self-test scheduled, Wi-Fi monitoring set up. Then we walk you through it until you actually understand your own generator.
Lead times and installer schedules blow out the second a hurricane enters the Gulf. The right time to do this is a boring Tuesday.
(936) 284-4435We're based in Shenandoah, right off I-45, and we install throughout the surrounding communities. Local means we know which jurisdiction you're in, which inspector you'll get, and how long the gas meter upsize actually takes here.
We'll walk the property, run the load calculation, check your gas meter and panel, and give you an itemized quote — including the option of telling you a portable is all you actually need.
