Westlake’s location in the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor means you face the same storm systems that regularly knock out power across North Texas. The 2021 winter freeze left hundreds of thousands without power for days. Recent summer storms have caused widespread outages affecting everything from traffic lights to water treatment plants.

Your generator connects to your home’s natural gas line or propane supply, eliminating the need for refueling during extended outages. The automatic transfer switch monitors your utility power 24/7, switching to generator power within seconds of detecting an outage—whether you’re home or away.
