Generator Installation Process Hurst

From Assessment to Automatic Power Protection

First, we assess your home’s power needs and recommend the right generator size for your specific situation. No overselling, no undersizing – just honest recommendations based on what will actually keep your home running during outages.

Next, we handle all the permitting and utility coordination. You don’t deal with city offices or gas company scheduling. We take care of the paperwork while you go about your day.

Installation day involves setting up the generator on a concrete pad, connecting it to your natural gas line, and wiring the automatic transfer switch. The switch monitors your home’s power 24/7, automatically starting your generator within seconds of detecting an outage. When utility power returns, it switches back seamlessly and shuts down the generator.
