Your Guide to Generators, Installation, Maintenance & Backup Power Systems
If you're thinking about installing a generator—or upgrading the one you already have—you probably have a few questions. We’re here to make everything simple. Below you’ll find clear, helpful answers to the most common questions about whole-house generators, standby power systems, installation, maintenance, and our Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton services in Houston. Whether you’re a homeowner looking for reliable backup power or a business needing a commercial generator solution, these FAQs will help you understand what you need and how the process works.
General Generator Questions
A standby generator turns on automatically and can power your whole home. It runs on natural gas or propane and needs no manual setup. A portable generator is smaller, uses gasoline, and you must start it by hand. It’s good for small, temporary needs but not as safe or reliable as a standby unit.
It depends on what you want to power. Small homes may only need essentials. Larger homes may need whole-house coverage.
We check your appliances, HVAC, and usage during a load assessment to recommend the right size.
Most homes use 14kW–24kW for full coverage.
