Whole-Home Generator Installation
Never lose power again. Tex-Star Electric installs whole-home standby generators that kick in automatically when the grid goes down, keeping your Houston home safe through every storm.
Backup Power for Houston's Storm Season
Houston businesses know the reality of hurricane season. From June through November, the threat of extended power outages looms with every tropical system. After events like Hurricane Beryl and the winter storms that have hit Texas in recent years, demand for whole-home standby generators has surged. A properly installed generator means your air conditioning, refrigerator, medical equipment, and security systems keep running when everyone else goes dark.
A whole-home standby generator connects directly to your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). When utility power drops, the ATS detects the outage and signals the generator to start within seconds. When power returns, the system automatically transfers back and shuts down. You do not have to run extension cords, refuel a portable unit, or worry about carbon monoxide exposure. It simply works.
Most generators in the Houston area run on natural gas, which is piped directly from the utility. That means unlimited fuel supply during extended outages, unlike gasoline or propane units that require manual refueling. We size the generator based on a complete load calculation of your home so you get the right unit without overspending. Options range from essential circuit coverage to full whole-home backup.
Tex-Star Electric is a Generac installer serving the Greater Houston area. We handle everything from the concrete pad and gas line coordination to the electrical connection, transfer switch installation, and city permit. Your generator will be installed to code and ready to protect your home before the next storm arrives.
