Generator Installation FAQs

Common questions about our Generator Installation services

How long does generator installation take in the Dallas-Fort Worth area?

Most residential generator installations take 1-2 days once we begin work, but the entire process from consultation to completion typically takes 2-4 weeks. This includes time for permits, equipment delivery, and scheduling around weather conditions. Factors like electrical panel upgrades, gas line extensions, or concrete pad installation can add time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process. Complex commercial installations may take longer depending on the system size and specific requirements.

What size generator do I need for my home in Texas?

Generator sizing depends on what you want to power during an outage. A 7.5-10kW generator handles essentials like refrigerator, lights, and a few outlets. For whole-house power including air conditioning – crucial in Texas heat – you’ll need 20-25kW for most homes under 2,500 square feet. Larger homes or those with multiple AC units may need 30kW or more. We perform a detailed load analysis during consultation, examining your electrical panel and discussing your priorities to recommend the right size for your specific needs and budget.

Do I need permits for generator installation in Dallas or Fort Worth?

Yes, generator installation requires electrical permits in most DFW and Mid-Cities municipalities, and often plumbing permits for gas connections. Some areas also require building permits depending on generator size and placement. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections as part of our service. Permit costs typically range from $80-450 depending on your city and project scope. We’re familiar with local requirements throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding communities, ensuring your installation meets all codes and passes inspections the first time.

How much does professional generator installation cost in DFW and Mid-Cities?

Installation costs vary based on generator size, electrical work needed, gas line requirements, and site conditions. Basic installations for smaller generators start around $3,000-4,000, while whole-house systems typically cost $5,000-8,000 to install. Factors affecting price include distance from electrical panel, gas meter location, concrete pad requirements, and any electrical panel upgrades needed. We provide detailed estimates during consultation, breaking down all costs so you understand exactly what’s included in your investment.

What maintenance does my generator need after installation?

Generators need regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation when you need them most. Most manufacturers recommend service every 6 months or after 100 hours of operation. This includes oil and filter changes, spark plug inspection, battery testing, and comprehensive system diagnostics. We offer maintenance contracts to keep your generator in top condition and catch potential issues before they become problems during an outage. Regular maintenance protects your warranty and ensures your generator starts reliably during the next power emergency.

Can you install generators that run on natural gas in Texas?

Absolutely. Natural gas generators are extremely popular in DFW and Mid-Cities because they connect to your existing gas line, providing unlimited fuel supply during extended outages. We handle all gas line work and coordinate with your utility company for any meter upgrades needed. Natural gas generators eliminate the need for propane tank refills and provide cleaner operation than diesel units. We’re licensed for both electrical and gas work, ensuring safe, code-compliant installation of your complete backup power system throughout Texas.
